Castle Rock is a dramatic sandstone outcrop above the Tug Fork valley offering sweeping panoramas and textured cliff faces — great for wide landscapes and intimate rock-detail shots. Best at golden hour (sunrise or sunset) for warm side-lighting. Access requires a short hike from roadside parking; bring sturdy shoes and check local weather. Weekdays are quieter; no formal entry fee but respect private land signs.
