CASTLE ROCK GRANITE SKYWALK
That's right, there is an amazing new Skywalk that has been built at the top of Castle Rock. I've put some pictures up to the left. It's well worth the walk up to Castle Rock as long as you have a good head for heights. The views are stunning of the surrounding plains. Tourists who have visited this are saying it's better than the Tree Top Walk.
