HIKING DETAILS:
First off, this is a very challenging hike.
It is truly a beautiful and unique place to explore providing a doable but challenging hike with incredible views of our region.
While climbing all the way up to the top of the Castle Crags Dome is the goal (see banner photo), everyone is encouraged to have a comfortable adventure, and there are plenty of places to stop and enjoy without going all the way. We’ll show you the safest route, laugh, get rad photos, and get a solid workout in.
As always, please note, the Rushmore Society is a social network, not an outdoor guide crew. We invite you to join in our Adventures to connect awesome people. You are responsible for judging your physical capabilities and limitations. If you have any questions at all, just ask us 😉
MEMBERSHIP: Ask any member if Rushmore is worth $11-17-27 a month. We’ll let them sell us.

DRIVING DIRECTIONS:
Castle Crags are located approximately 70 miles south of the Oregon/California state line (6 miles south of Dunsmuir) along interstate 5 (or approx. 50 miles north of Redding, CA). From I5, take the Castella exit (also marked “Castle Crags State Park”). Note that the exits on interstate highway 5 in California are now (finally) numbered; the exit you want is #724. From the exit ramp, drive west a few hundred yards till you see the “guard booth” for the state park.
The Rushmore Society is Southern Oregon’s premiere real life social network. We get out the door and say “YES!” through Adventure, Connection and Play. Do More, Live More, Rushmore.
