Trip Description Castle Peak is a significant mountain in Western New Territories. The hiking trail is mainly on the ridge of the mountain. You can enjoy good view on either side of the trail. The mountain does not have lush vegetation. In hot summer time you can find nowhere to hide on the mountain ridge. Maybe due to the lack of lush vegetation, the castle peak hiking trail is sandy in nature. It could be slippery.
