Castle Canyon Trailhead, in the Zigzag Ranger District, is the starting point for Castle Canyon Trail #765. It’s a short day hike that heads into the Mount Hood Wilderness and reaches a group of tower-shaped rock formations known as the Pinnacles.
The trailhead is in Rhododendron, off US 26. Just west of the town’s only store, turn north on E Arlie Mitchel Road, go 0.3 mile to Henry Creek Road and turn left; the trail is half a mile along. Parking fits about 10 small vehicles. There are no restrooms and no drinking water, so come ready.
