The Trail: Castlewood Canyon was carved out by Cherry Creek, which flows from the Palmer Divide through the park into Cherry Creek Reservoir in Denver. From within the Canyon, visitors can enjoy spectacular vistas of the front range including Pikes Peak to the south, Devil's Head and Windy Peak to the west, and Mt. Evans to the northwest. The park has climbing routes to suit many abilities. |
Directions: Castlewood Canyon located east of Castle Rock (on Hwy. 86, and go six miles to Franktown. Turn south on Hwy. 83 (South Parker Rd.) and go five miles to the park entrance) offers more than 13 miles of trails. Each trail allows visitors to explore both above and within the canyon.
Miscellaneous: An adult member of the family, or specified guardian, must accompany the Scout on the hike. We will raffle off several hike-related door prizes to Scouts during the hike. Each Scout must turn in a completed and signed permission slip (below) to the Hikemaster on the day of the hike, before we leave the trailhead. Be prepared for changing weather conditions and dress appropriately. Bring your own water, trail snacks, sunscreen, hat, camera, fun attitude, etc...
Bad Weather Decision: We try to hike regardless of the weather - rain, snow, wind or shine! Only if we feel we would endanger the Scouts will we cancel the hike. If there is any question that the hike will go as scheduled, you may call Rob Malsch 303-681-2653 by 12:00 noon on Sunday; otherwise, plan to meet at the school.
