So many things to do at Castlerock foothills. Trail running or biking down Stage road is great. Shaded so it's nice most anytime of the day. Quick out-and-backs are good, or you can add onto your mileage and adventure by adding loops that all connect like Wall Point, Little Yosemite (hiking only) and others. You can peel off and rock climb and Boulder rocks which adds a fun level of fitness to your hiking or running. Lots of nice nature to look at, and the trail follows and intersects a creek several times. Depending on season it will have water in it.

This is more of a nature walk than a hike. Ever so slight grades most of the way. The turn off for the falls is difficult to see, so using a pedometer or gps for location helps, as the turn off is not marked. Occasionally, hikers build an arrow out of rocks. Very cool! Consider starting early side (7am), as the falls get busy, especially if you want good photography without a lot of people. The who hike with an hour at the falls is roughly a four hour affair.
