Castle Crags

It was windy at the Vista, but we'll worth the visit. I will return. At the viewing area, they've installed some telescopes to see the peaks of Shasta and Castle Crags. There is an automated ticket machine at the front of the park. $8 for day use. There are vault restrooms at the front and at the viewpoint parking area. The trails are well maintained and easy to climb.

Enjoyed going to the viewpoint (though the shingle lane, winding road was a little daunting). Enjoyed the Indian Creek Nature trail as well. We camped here many years ago in summer when it ended up being 106 degrees so it was nice to return in pleasant fall weather.

Great trip! The view from the vista point is great. Missed the seasonal waterfall, so we'll have to be back. Rangers were friendly and helpful, though their idea of easy differs from mine. They recommended the Indian Creek Nature Loop. Much together than expected though the creek and bridges were as advertised and made the hike worth it. It was my wife's first encounter with a rattlesnake in the wild desire or interest in the great outdoors. It should be noted, my wife was recovering from surgery and me from a tree limb falling on me, so we were not up to par at the time.
