Challenge Hill & Trail

CHALLENGE HILL 🏃🏼‍♀️

...Known locally as the Incline! It’s free to use whenever and as often as you’d like, and it’s easily one of the most popular spots in town!

When I first moved to Castle Rock, this was my sole workout. I used to walk up 200 steps and jog down the trail, 3-4 times without stopping. It is a good 45 minute cardio blast in nature!

Can you do this with kids? Of course! If mine are in tow, I don’t do any jogging, but it’s a great time to connect with my kids while enjoying some views of Castle Rock.

The walk up the incline plus the trail down is a little over a half mile, so 2X through gets you to a mile. And if you’re a long distance runner, there are PLENTY more trails at your disposal (see the map from the town on the last slide).

Have you used Challenge Hill for a scenic hike, or a workout? 🏃🏼‍♀️ Or both?
