We finally explore Castle Rocks State Park—hiking quiet trails, wandering among towering rock formations, viewing pictographs, visiting a stocked pond, and learning the history behind prairie schooner wagons left on the landscape. A calm, reflective end to the day.
This episode picks up where the previous day left off as we finally explore Castle Rocks State Park in southern Idaho. After splitting this filming day into two videos, this one is all about slowing down and wandering through the park itself.
We spend time hiking along the trails, weaving between the striking rock formations that give Castle Rocks its name, stopping often to take in the quiet and scale of the landscape. Along the way, we visit pictographs etched into the rock, pausing to appreciate their history and presence in this rugged place.
We also check out a stocked pond within the park, a peaceful stop surrounded by open views and wildlife sounds, before continuing on to explore remnants of westward travel. Prairie schooner wagons sit out on the landscape, paired with interpretive signs that help tell the story of the emigrants who once passed through this area along historic routes.
It’s an day of exploration, history, and reflection—closing out our time in Castle Rocks before the journey continues.
