Hike trails are divided to short (15-45 minutes) and medium (1-2 hours) trails. Short trails are Box Canyon Dam and Trail, a ¾ mi/1.2 km trail, offering a wonderful view of the canyon and Castle Shore Trail, an easy ½ hour, 5 mi/8 km trail, with 6400 ft/1952 m elevation.
A medium hike is Castle Lake Trail, a 2-3 hour, 3 mi/4.8 km trail, with 6000 to 6200 ft/1823 to 1890 m elevation, which is strenuous at first and then turns into a moderate, rocky path. Best time to hike is early June to October. Mountains create their own weather, so better be prepared and informed about the weather, before you start your hiking adventure.
