Dakan Road

Dakan Road is a very pleasant trail in the Pike National Forest near Castle Rock that runs from Perry Park Road to Rampart Range Road. In recent years, the forest service has done significant work on Dakan Road to establish designated campsites and install boundaries to help protect the natural features, as this area sees heavy traffic during the summer months. There are a few tremendous views of the front range along the trail, and a handful of incredible rock features the general area is known for. Camping is plentiful along the trail. However, it is subject to fees and reservations, so stop at the self-serve pay station or book via Recreation.gov.
