Write Up:Five of us struck out to ascend Castle Mountain. After some exploring
and listening to the locals, we found a preferable access to the
trailhead from which to start the hike. We started on the Roots Trail
and soon came to the intersection for the Hyperventilation Trail. We
kept a steady pace, enjoying the views along the way and the many
colourful flowers. On the summit we went slightly inward finding some
logs to sit on, making a pleasant lunch spot. After a leisurely lunch
we made our way down, returning to our trailhead. We had pleasant
weather, warm and sunny. Occasionally a refreshing breeze passed
through. Our hike elevation gain was 472 m, over a return kilometer
count of 9. Actual hiking time was 3 hours. Very enjoyable and
worthwhile hike.
