Acid Castles Trail

The Acid Castle Rocks are a collection of large boulders on a hillside above Lithia Park. The views are fantastic.

The Adventure – The Acid Castle Rocks are a short hike to fantastic views. Some prefer to call them the “Castle Boulders” but that diminishes the fact that many people come up here to smoke and drink (and possibly drop acid) and check out the views of the park and city below. Don’t fret, during the day there are families and dogs and children so it’s not a den of crime.

Starting from Ashland Plaza. Take Windburn Way along Lithia Park and quickly turn right on Nutley, then take a quick left onto Alnut Street. Then turn right onto Strawberry Lane and left on Hitt Road. Follow this road to a gate and hike up the trail. Climb uphill for a bit and you will see the boulders on your left.
