Kings-Castle to Castle Rock 5/19/23
Hiked to the top of Castle Rock via the Kings-Castle trail. Really nice hike, with old-growth douglas fir, a few flowers and great views of the Sisters.
The trail was quiet, only passed one other hiker all day and three mountain bikers who were shuttling to ride down the trail (they came by me twice, very fast, but I could hear them well in advance). Logged 12 miles and 2500' elevation gain.

Nice! This is a pleasant little trail. Do you have any idea what that equipment is there, up at the top? I was curious when I encountered it, but never managed to ask anyone else about it—well, until now, I suppose :)

The hikeoregon.net site mentions solar weather gear at the top. But, I can't confirm.
