    Tips

    Hiking

    At Castle Pass there is at least one nice campsite if you don’t want to go the extra mile to the Peter Grubb Hut.
    Just before reaching the high point along the Pacific Crest Trail it meets and joins Castle Peak Trail turning to the north, but then leaves it again a few yards later going straight north, while Castle climbs up the obvious ridge to the north-east. The saddle at the pass has some nice campsite options, though it's worth to go the extra mile to the Peter Grubb Hut for water, restroom, and save time for shelter.
    This short 50 yards connector between Castle Peak North Rd and Castle Peak Trail is shared with the Pacific Crest Trail on which there is technically no biking
