Castle Peak is the namesake for the Castle Peak Wilderness Study area north of Wolcott, Colorado. This trip is considered exploratory as the leader has not been there, and research indicates that the trail is not well maintained and has areas of downfall along the way. Depending on how far down the road we can drive, the distance ranges from 7 - 8 miles with an elevation gain between 1700’ and 2000’. Due to unknown conditions, please plan for a long day and various weather types.
