Castle Crest Wildflower Trail

Difficulty	Distance	Steps	Elevation Gain
Easy	0.5 Miles Loop	1,015 est.	100

Steps are estimated from the hike distance and a difficulty-based stride length.

Formula: distance in miles × 5,280 feet ÷ stride length

Stride length is adjusted because tougher trails usually shorten each step:

Difficulty	Stride length
Unknown	2.2 ft
Accessible	2.3 ft
Easy	2.6 ft
Moderate	2.1 ft
Difficult	2.0 ft
More Difficult	1.9 ft
Strenuous	1.8 ft

The result is rounded to the nearest whole step and shown as an estimate.

Notes

Loop trail through a beautiful meadow. Abundant wildflowers from mid-July to mid-August. The trail is rocky and slippery in places. Self-guiding brochures are available at the trailhead.
