In recent years, Castle Rock has exploded with local brewing options. Sadly, many of been mediocre at best. Burly Brewing is a total exception. Excellent options across the board from the lighter, summer options to the dark porters. Located off the beaten path in an industrial park, this one is worth finding on a weekend, especially after a motorcycle ride. Even better when On The Hook, a fish & chip food truck company from Wyoming, is on site. Plenty of indoor seating, a small outdoor patio out front and also an event room. But the beers are stellar!

As outlet malls go, this one is very nice. There was ample parking. The mall is outdoor; I enjoyed the fresh air as we walked between stores. The mall is large, but the layout is sensible and easy-to-navigate. Store directories were everywhere. Nice selection of stores across all categories. Fairly standard offerings for an outlet mall, but an above-average number of stores. Each store I entered was well-maintained. A few stores that suit the region: Arc'teryx, North Face, Columbia. The usual assortment of clothing stores: Banana Republic, Gap, Brooks Brothers, Bass, Express, etc. A few jewelry and cologne places and some specialty stores (shoes, jewelry, etc.). I was there on a beautiful Saturday late afternoon/early evening. While the parking lots were relatively full, the mall was not obnoxiously crowded. It's in a very suburban area and there were lots of other strip malls around, along with lots of chain restaurants. As outlet malls go, among the best I have visited.

Worth the easy to moderate hike in the evening. Sunset is amazing! You don't have to climb all the way up the face of the rock to get an incredible experience. The trail takes you far enough.

We come here often. It is one of our favorite hikes close to Denver. The trail is snow packed and icy over most of the distance. Traction devices recommended. January 4, 2020.

This place is amazing. We haven't been to Castle Rock in a very long time, so we did a day trip to the town and what a pleasant surprise. This place grabbed me at the get go and I spent a good hour browsing around seeing all the great gifts I could get everyone l love. Good thing I left with one for me! This is a bunch of little shops all together with unique and wonderful gifts. Skip the outlet stores and come straight right here. It is very cool and so worth it!
