MonitoringLocationDescriptionText Castle Crest springs is a series of springs whose headwaters are near the Castle Crest Wildflower Trail. The trail is located just off the Rim Drive less than 1/2 mile east of the junction of Rim Drive and the south entrance station near the park headquarters and visitors center. The springs drain a topographic high to the north in the Castle Crest and Garfield's Peak area and the point of emergence is a scree area just above the Castle Crest Wildflower Trail. Castle Crest Springs flow south, merging with Munson Springs about 3/4 of a mile south of the Rim Drive forming Munson Creek. Munson Creek eventually joins Annie Creek near Godfrey Glen. The altitude is between 6400 and 6600 feet.
