Description

This small face is the first one reached on the hike from Highway 18 and is identified by a distinct wide crack behind a large pine tree.

Getting There

Hiking the trail from Highway 18 takes you right past this wall; the rest of Castle Rock lies around to the left if facing the wall. Plan on a 20-30 minute approach from the car.
