How to get to Castle Rocks State Park
The park sits in the Almo Valley about 2 miles north of Almo, Idaho, roughly a 45 minute drive south of Burley and Interstate 84. From Salt Lake City, Utah, allow about 3 hours via I-84 and the Sublett and Conner Creek routes, and from Boise plan on roughly 4.5 to 5 hours. RV drivers should expect narrow rural roads, steep sections, and some gravel surfaces on the approach through Elba and Almo, so check trailer length and ground clearance before committing to side roads. The nearest commercial airport for fly-and-rent trips is Salt Lake City International.
