Remember when we said installations with 100,000+ plus lights? This is it. Considered a crowd favorite, the Cathedral of Light is a dazzling cathedral arch tunnel positioned near the end of the trail. Holiday card photo spot — secured.

Festive foods + drinks

S’mores kit anyone? For foodies like ourselves, one look at the festive menu will have you wondering what the real attraction is. There are four stops along the path that offer sweets + treats, drinks, and snacks to keep you fueled on your one mile self-guided tour.
