What a beautiful day that was and I could not resist taking picture of the Castle.

Since this trail is long and gradually gains elevation, I was able to ride for a while.

I found a huge rock near the trail and I decided to switch to hiking from here since I cannot miss the rock. I thought it would be easy to find my bike on the way back. The red mountain behind is Loaf Mountain.

Something unique about the Castle is the color. You can see here there are red, blue, green, and gray.

While I thought I was following the trail, my trail became narrower and less visible and suddenly completely disappeared. I would have sweated if I didn't have GPS. It never feels good when getting lost in forest.

On the way back to the trail I was supposed to follow, I found this small waterfall by accident.

I wish I had more time to explore but that will be the next trip. I am already planning to come back here next year. Next time I am backpacking.
