On Sunday, my roommate Matt Ronge and I decided to do some hiking in Castle Rock State Park. The is about 30-40 minutes away atop the hills (mountains to us midwesterners) between Cupertino and the ocean. It was beautiful! Parks out here are totally different. First of all, the trees are like 200 feet or more, and probably 3 and half to 4 feet in diameter. The fauna is just totally different. The air is also extremely clean.The park is known for its rock formations. Scattered throughout the park are these little sets of rocks. Now by rocks I mean boulders, and by boulders I mean rocks the size of houses. The wind, however, has carved the rocks so they have holes, and sometimes the wind has created caves in the rocks as well. Because of the rocks and cliffs, a popular sport in the park is rock climbing. There were some people climbing 20 foot rocks, some climbing 40 foot cliffs, and others climbing 200 foot cliffs. It was pretty cool.There is not much else to say, but check out the pictures to see more of Castle Rock State Park.
