Castleton Tower - Moab/Castle Valley, UT

[@phillivingston8237]

Great hike! You make it sound so easy. it looks like anything but that. Is this a popular hike? I did not notice anyone else around. Thank you so much for sharing. You are the "man".

It's short (it's on alltrails) but steep. It was 30 degrees, raining, and Thanksgiving week, so guessing that explains the lack of people, although I would think most nice days in the shoulder seasons would only have a couple of people on it per day

Yet another great video! Thank you Question, Have you ever done Mazatzal Peak? Part trail and part off trail to the peak. Might make a good video.

[@HikingEngineer]

I have a video on the loop around Matzatzal but have not summitted it. It's on my list

[@robertjaycox8488]

Thanks for the video. Using Moab as a base, I'm thinking that might be the "best" area in Utah to explore and hike from? A lot of options.

[@HikingEngineer]

I have like 20 more videos coming from this trip and have done much more around Moab, so it's a great area as you can incorporate the national parks, other hikes around Moab, rafting/kayaking on the river, and then hikes in the La Sals and Abajos during the summer. I personally am partial to the Zion/St George/Kanab area

You oughta do a slot canyon since your in the area

[@HikingEngineer]

in what area? I was in Moab several weeks ago, but I have videos on many of the well known slots in the Grand Staircase area (Peekaboo, Spooky, Brimstone, Zebra, Tunnel, Red Breaks) and then Buckskin Gulch, etc. Is there a specific one you want to see?

[@Rksanchez871]

@ had no idea I oughta check those videos out! only other solid one in the area I know of that you didn’t mention is blue John through the west fork and the final slot that one dude got trapped in it’s a pretty spectacular canyon just a tiny bit technical
