This is a great place for a short hike-not too rigorous- and a picnic.Picnic area: We are our lunch in the covered pavilion but later discovered the tables higher up with views of The Castle Rock.

Perfect place to get a quick and easy hike in. Nothing is too difficult. Some of the trail gets a little slippery but take your time and it’s just fine. The views are great! Don’t expect to be in the wilderness but you will still feel accomplished at the top

I've lived here 16 years and finally took the time to hike the rock. It was a very moderate and pleasant ascent. Great views and wildlife.

From Rock Park
Visitors can climb this historic landmark through a looped, single-track trail. From these trails, hikers can reach the base of The Rock and are afforded panoramic views of Downtown Castle Rock, the Interstate 25 corridor, Pikes Peak and the Front Range.
Please use caution when navigating the uneven terrain of this relatively short but steep climb. There is a 370-foot elevation difference from bottom to top (6,220 feet to 6,590 feet). Visitors should also be aware of the possibility of falling rocks and rockslides.
The picnic pavilion at Rock Park is available for rental. There are also additional picnic tables dispersed within the Castle View Picnic Area. For information, call 720-733-2260.
