Castle Rock Data
Just 20 minutes south of Denver, Castle Rock has become a city with multiple personalities. The town is named for its can’t-miss rock outcropping, which resembles a European castle. The natural signpost has served throughout history as a landmark for Native Americans to early settlers — not mention modern travelers. In the spirit of rocks, many rock climbers find this area’s geological features a playground full of excellent routes. An extensive trail system surrounds town, and excellent recreation areas like Castlewood Canyon State Park and Pike National Forest are just miles away. Nearby Castle Pines Golf Course, a beautiful and challenging venue, is the PGA International Golf Tournament’s only stop in Colorado (each August). And with over 100 name-brand stores offering deep discounts, the Castle Rock Factory Shops are another popular draw here.
The city’s largest event each summer is Elephant Rock, an epic, 100-mile bike tour around Colorado, which begins and ends in Castle Rock.
