  • Moderate

Carpool if possible due to limited parking at trailhead, meet south of Needles store off 550 at 8:30am.

Exploratory for leader, we'll follow the creek to the cabin then head to the top of Castle Rock for nice views. Well behaved leashed dogs are welcome, I will have my little dog.

*Note I will have limited cell service when camping the night before and possibly morning of the hike if you are trying to reach me, please text*
