Castle Rock stands out in the background of the town of Castle Rock, Colorado. You can see it for many miles north, south, east and west of the community. The town was named for this large rock formation. It is a must for anyone living or visiting the south metro!
I want to share two tips with you on this hike – the first is that it is steep with large rock sections near the top and the second is that you don’t get to climb to the top. Although I was initially bummed by this fact, it didn’t take away from the incredible views!
