Castleton Tower (officially, Castle Rock)[1] is a 6,660-foot (2,030 m) summit on the northeastern border of Castle Valley, Utah. The Wingate Sandstone tower itself is 400 feet (120 m) high and stands on a 1,000-foot (300 m) Moenkopi-Chinle cone. Castleton Tower is world-renowned as a subject for photography and for its classic rock climbing routes, the most famous of which is the Kor-Ingalls Route featured in Fifty Classic Climbs of North America.[3] It can be accessed by a trail that begins south of the tower at a primitive camp ground.
