Mount Falcon Park - July 2014

View from Top

True to our commitment, this is the third week in a row trying out local hikes.  This one was at Mount Falcon Park in Morrison.  We hiked up the Castle Trail - up 2000 feet and a total of 7 miles round trip.  The hike was somewhat strenuous - a lot of up hill.  There is not much shade either so better to do in early morning.  The scenery was beautiful and it is certainly a good work out.  At the top, we saw the remains of an old house that was once owned by John Brisben Walker in the early 1900s.  We really enjoyed this hike and would definitely recommend it.  Only downside is that there are quite a few bikers on the trail.

We made it!
