July 3. 2020. Posting this a year later. Just because.
I told M, mostly to get him excited about the day’s hike, that we will have learnt something new by the end of the hike. Turns out, we did. Here’s goes a short list of those things.
Castle Rock state park, situated along the Santa Cruz mountains, is named after a sandstone formation called Castle Rock. When we came here a few years back, we were lucky to have seen this formation. The trail that goes to this formation (Summit Rock trail) is no longer open to public.
