Made a nice loop starting on the Transept Trail starting on Verde Valley School Rd. I did a clockwise loop connecting Transept, Hiline, Slim Shady, Made in the Shady and Castle Rocks trails. There was a small bit of scrambling down the saddle between North and South Castle Rock but nothing too bad. I just stuck to the north side of the saddle. Saw among other things, what I assume was a dead coyoyte, many cool towers, and a beautiful boulder with a perfect 20' handcrack.
