The Mitchell Creek Canyon Trail is located on the side of Castle Rock Colorado. As its name implies, the Castle Rock area is filled with amazing rock formations and this trail is no exception! It was actually “rockier” than expected with no actual “trail” (signage or dirt) making it more of a scramble than a leisure hike. I think kids that dig an adventure would love it here!
