Description: Bishop’s Castle is entirely built by one man, Jim Bishop, over the course of his lifetime. A quirky, intricate maze of stunning DIY artwork, engineering and imagination. This roadside Southern Colorado attraction used to be little-known. Today, likely made more infamous through Instagram, Bishop’s castle is widely known and visited. Watch your step, hang on and leave the pets in the car.
Length: A few hours
Favorite memory: We drove our 1974 VW Joy Bus to visit Bishop’s Castle after an overnight in Hartsel, CO. Jim Bishop himself was onsite three different times we’ve visited. Always leave a donation. Be generous.
Season: Anytime
Keep going-
Aaron
