How to find it

The trail head is right near the top of Hyper Ventilation on your right as you're going up, watch for the sign. From Hyper Ventilation it is a relatively easy spin at a 10% grade till you hit the Castle South ridge. From there head up left on the trail. There are a few mandatory walking spots, but it's pretty rideable. The panoramic view from the top is absolutely breathtaking.

Recently a bench ( materials courtesy of Transwest Mining Systems) was flown up and placed on the summit of the mountain, in the perfect spot to kick back, relax and enjoy the amazing views.

The Trail

Once you've got that far up Hyper Ventilation, anything else seems easy! Castle Rocks starts with a bit of down, followed by some medium grade climbing to the South Castle ridge. It's narrow in spots, but it's a great trail.

Whether you take your bike up to the summit or stash it where the push starts, it is well worth the trip.
