ith fall in the air, it is the perfect time to enjoy the colors and beautiful outdoors. Castlewood Canyon is the ideal place to do this! The local gem is a Colorado state park and offers a variety of activities. So many know it as a hiking destination. There is also a special horseback riding trail as well as multiple picnicking spots. With sweeping scenes of the canyon and surrounding plains, it is an excellent spot for photography and peace and quiet. Another popular activity is rock climbing, with multiple available climbs along the 60-foot canyon walls. Wildlife viewing and birding are popular. The canyon is home to turkey vultures, canyon wrens, bluebirds, bobcats, black bears, elk, deer, and rattle snakes. The park also provides educational programs and venues for events. We shared here some beautiful photos from some of our readers. We hope these will inspire you to go enjoy the canyon for yourself!
