My original plan was to drive to the end of the forest service road. I didn't do that because I thought, "Oh, I can walk the whole distance." Plus, I'm not sure my car would have made it.
Well, I can definitely make it to the top of Castle Pass, but when I started up the trail to the peak, I realized it was steep and rocky and I really needed to be much fresher than I was. The views are gorgeous and there was almost no one up there so I took a long time drinking water and eating some dried apricots.
I took the Pacific Crest Trail down instead of the road. It's a much nicer trail, although a bit longer. There are some forest service "roads" that connect the PCT to the road I'd come up. I got a little lost traversing them, but managed to make it back to car okay.
Note to self: don't forget the Advil!
