Mount Falcon Park
add photosHistoric sites and scenic vistas await park visitors. Castle trail leads from the plains at the east end of the park to the foothills via a narrow road which once carried Stanley Steamer autos. The trail then branches to explore forest and meadows and the many points of interest at the trail summits. From: www.www.co.jefferson.co.us/openspace/openspace_T56_R16.htm

"Great City View"
This a great hike with a wonderful view of the city. The walking loop is one of my favorite hikes. The hiking trails range from easy to strenous. There is a lot of wildlife so make sure you bring your camera. It's well worth the drive to see this great city view. You won't be disappointed.

"Awesome views and varied hikes"
We keep coming back and finding more to love about this place. Take the "tower" trail and see an amazing cabin that has been turned into a lookout/picnic shelter-on stilts. We love the meadow loop for the kids, and you can add on "Walker's Dream" to get more exercise and amazing, amazing views. A great place to bring out of town guests since the hike is classic Colorado with a view of Red Rocks and Denver plus wonderful ponderosa pines-make sure to smell them-they are like vanilla or butterscotch.

"Ancient Castle hike"
We found this open space park at Christmas time when we were visiting our family in Morrison. We wanted some snow to play in, and we found that here and much more.
After our large group of kids got tired from sledding, snow ball fights, and snowman building, we set off on a hike to the top of the nearby hill to look down into Denver. We loved the view of Denver and the Great Plains, but what surprised us was the ruins of a castle in the foreground. We had to go explore there, so we set off on our hike again.
As we walked, my kids (6, 9) and their cousins pretended they were kings and queens from Narnia ("Chronicles of Narnia" by C.S. Lewis). They let their imaginations soar when they reached the old stone walls which they explored with great curiosity. In order to protect the walls, there were fences that kept us away, but it was still fascinating.
