Take a tour of the beloved, bizarre Colorado castle that sits like a post-apocalyptic Disney World hidden in the San Isabel National Forest. Bishop Castle is a structure made by one man — eccentric architect Jim Bishop.

You have to see this folksy wonder for yourself between Rye and Beulah. Depending on traffic, it’s about a 3- to 4-hour drive from Denver, southwest of Colorado Springs. Towering above the forest at 16 stories high, explore Bishop Castle at your own risk and check it off your Colorado summer bucket list. Or do the safe thing and view this slideshow from a visit on July 8, 2017.
