Drive south from Darby, MT on US 93 to the junction with Montana 473. MT 473 is also known as the West Fork Road. Turn right (southwest).
Currently there is a detour from Hwy 93 to the West Fork Road. You must go to the Connor turnoff (about 3 miles south of the normal turnoff) and drive through Connor to reach the West Fork Road. This adds about five miles to your trip if you're coming from the north.
Drive 14.3 miles on the West Fork Road (from US 93), and turn right (southwest) onto Nez Perce Road (468). The Nez Perce Road starts out paved, turns to gravel, then back to pavement before reaching Nez Perce Pass.
Once on the Nez Perce Road, travel 16 miles to Nez Perce Pass and the trailhead for Castle Rock.
You will find restroom facilities and an area for stock as well.
There is a large paved parking area with a helicopter pad in the middle. Don't park there!
