Description

To access this trail, first take Castle Rock Loop Trail. This trail is short but offers great picture-posing opportunities with the various smaller formations you'll visit along the way.

After a short climb, you come to the Backyard Boulders. Then start the downhill south to 3-Pool Boulders to check out some natural birdbath action before returning to Castle Rock Loop Trail.
