Castle Peak is a small peak featuring piles of stones at the summit. The hike is moderately challenging, with rewarding views at the top. A popular route is the loop that includes the Cave of Munits and a climb to the summit of Castle Peak. You can also extend the hike by adding Bell Canyon Creek to create a longer loop.

You park on Sunset Ridge Ct and walk the loop counter clockwise. Hiking uphill is a challenge, other than mentioned in Komoot. The trail is extremely steep, almost close to rock climbing. Because of steepness and lots of gravel I consider it impossible for normal hikers to go this part downhill. Once on top of the Castle Peak you will be awarded with an outstanding view. The trail downhill starts a little below the peak on the south side and is difficult to find, but then you have an easy walk back to the car. I have loaded the OpenTopoMap on the Fenix 6 Pro. This map is very precise and I found the way back.
