Climb the Rock - Castle Rock's "Rock"
Not
every community has its own landmark suitable for climbing.
Castle Rock's rock is reached from Front Street. The parking
area has a picnic pavilion, so you can make a nice outing
of it. You can hike up the marked trail and rest at the top
of the hill, or the really adventurous can climb the actual
rock. On a clear day, you can see... pretty far. Free

Casa
Bonita
Who
wouldn't want to be chased around a restaurant by a gorilla
after eating not-too-bad-Mexican food (served cafeteria style),
watching gunfights, and being splashed by cliff divers?
Open
daily for lunch and dinner. Best bet is to get there for an
early lunch on a weekday for a table right next to the indoor
waterfall.
