Review & FAQ:
Cerro Castellan peak is located in the southwest corner of Big Bend National Park in the Santa Elena Canyon area.
It is a remote butte that dominates the landscape with sheer cliffs all around. The imposing peak looks like an unlikely climb, except to the elite rock-jock.
Fortunately, that’s not the case. On the peak’s east side, a steep scramble to the summit exists, providing adventurous climbers with a fairly straightforward ascent.
The round-trip scramble shouldn’t take hikers more than a couple hours to complete.
Because of its southern Texas location, it’s inadvisable to make the climb during summer due to excessive heat.
