A trip around the 5 mile long Saratoga Gap Loop Trail in Castle Rock State Park. This trail goes through woods, past wind carved rocks, through Chapparal plants, up to the Ridge Trail, an overlook, and Goat Rock before winding back down through the rocks to the woods and back to the parking lot.
This is not a difficult hike but not an easy stroll either. The trail from Goat Rock back to the parking lot has areas where some rock scrambling is necessary.
