Along the crest of the Santa Cruz Mountains, Castle Rock State Park
embraces coast redwood, Douglas-fir, and madrone forest, most of
which has been left in its wild, natural state. Steep canyons are
sprinkled with unusual rock formations that are popular with rock
climbers. The forest here is lush and mossy, crisscrossed by 32
miles of hiking and horseback riding trails. These trails are part
of an even more extensive trail system that links the Santa Clara
and San Lorenzo valleys with Castle Rock State Park, Big Basin
Redwoods State Park, and the Pacific Coast.
A short hike from the main parking lot, Castle Rock itself is
popular with the rock-climbers.
This cache is about 20 feet or so off of the main trail. On a
day busy with hikers and climbers, some stealth may be
required.
Enjoy! And happy caching!
