Castle Park Trail

Castle Park Trail is a short, out-and-back mountain biking route in California, about 1.5 miles from the town of Redwood Heights. The trail is rated hard, and it covers roughly 0.76 miles with a total elevation gain of 316 feet, from a low point of 969 feet to a high of 1326 feet. Late summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Berkeley show September highs around 76°F with only about one wet day, while winter brings highs near 59°F and roughly 11 wet days a month. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the climb run cooler. Several hiking trails start within a few tenths of a mile, including Chaparral Trail, Sunset Trail and Tres Sendas Trail. For climbing, Grizzly Peak Boulders lies about 5 miles away.
