John Trudeau led a hike to Castle Rock State Park, off Skyline Blvd on the Peninsula. The hikers hiked to Castle Rock itself, then down to the waterfall overlook. Elevations for that portion of the trail were up 200′ to the rock, down 600′ to the fall overlook, then back up 400′ to the parking lot.The group then continued at that point along the Saratoga Gap trail and looped back above Goat Rock, the round trip was about 6 miles, elevation gain about 800′ from the fall overlook. Very nice views of the Santa Cruz range; much of the trail was shaded and relatively level.
