Castle Rock Trail climbs to a rocky outcrop with panoramic ridge-top views and layered forest valleys—great for dramatic landscapes, fall foliage, and moody skies. Trail is short to moderate; park at the small trailhead in Beaver (limited spaces). Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm side-light on the rock and long shadows; late autumn offers peak color and clearer air. Wear grippy shoes; edges are exposed. No fee but expect minimal facilities.
