The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive 30 minutes early

Check-in and weight screening are mandatory; early arrival avoids rushed briefings.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Platforms and short hikes are uneven—sturdy sneakers or light hiking shoes make transitions easier.

Secure loose items

Use wrist straps for cameras and put phones in zip pockets; nothing should be dangling from harnesses.

Watch the weather

Tours run in most conditions, but high winds and lightning can delay or cancel; dress in layers and bring hydration.

Conservation Note

The town and surrounding outcrops sit on rock formations that guided 19th-century routes; Castle Rock itself was named for a prominent sandstone monolith that marked the landscape for early travelers.
