Castle Rock Regional Recreation Area

Located on the crest of the Santa Cruz mountains just outside of Los Gatos, Castle Rock Regional Recreation Area is a prime location for San Francisco engagement photography. Within the park, you can explore many different environments such as sculpted sandstone, lush forests, and sweeping vistas, all of which will make lovely backdrops for your engagement photos. 

Explore the caverns and rocks, or check out the diverse plant life, from the California black oaks and knobcone pines to the high-elevation coast redwoods. There are over 30 miles of trails where you’ll be able to explore and find nooks and crannies that create the perfect picture you’re going for. The sandrock formations are each beautiful and unique. Moss-covered stone adds to the color of each new vista you find as you explore this state treasure. 

Castle Rock is ideal for the adventure-loving couple that wants to embrace their rugged side. The surrounding mountains provide hues of golden and green, all underneath a lovely blue sky that makes this a stunning spot for your photo shoot. Each enchanting location will seem like it was made just for you in this retreat away from civilization deep in the heart of the beautiful Santa Cruz mountains.
