Bishop’s Castle may seem like any other roadside attraction, except for the fact that from inception to construction, the entire structure is a one-man project. In 1969, Jim Bishop originally envisioned the land as home to a small family cottage near Wetmore. Once complete, it took on a life of its own. Rock after rock used from the nearby National Forest turned the small cottage into a towering, medieval structure of sheer imagination. It’s FREE and open to the public. Make it part of your Sunday drive to Southern Colorado some weekend.
