Castle Rock State Park – Day 2
Today, Ernie and his buddy decided to check out Castle Rock State Park again, so I tagged along with my GPS. Ernie’s buddy, whose name I can’t remember is really loud. This time, we hiked past Castle Rock Falls and along the ridgeline around 2650 feet above sea level. There are a number of large monolithic granite outcroppings that provide a commanding view of the backside of the ridge, a valley that plunges about two thousand feet before rising up again. The views are spectacular.
We turned around about here and headed back, almost in the dark. Since we got a little of a late start, we only did about 3½ miles. But, there are many more trails to explore in Castle Rock.
