This will be a quick post to acknowledge a brief camping stopover at Castle Crags State Park to break up our lengthy drive to the John Day River. We arrived late enough to just set up tents, grab a takeout pizza from the nearby small town, and go for a short evening walk to the lookout. The surrounding forest was pleasant other than the militant mosquitoes. The lookout was better than expected with views of the main Castle Crags massif, Mt Shasta, and some other mountains known as the Grey Peaks. I could imagine revisiting this place with some more time to explore some of the area's waterfalls and to scramble some of the picturesque granite peaks. A small tidy area but quite scenic and a welcome stopover.
