Itinerary description

This loop is part of the Mt. Falcon Open Space park and offers very nice views of the valley below and the metro-Denver area beyond. It is a generally step and steady incline with a wide and well-traveled trail. It is often crowded on the weekend.

Begin at parking lot at the bottom. Stay on the Castle Trail and continue up to the Turkey Trot Trail (Castle Trail will continue up to additional trails in the park). Go right on the Turkey Trot Trail and continue down to where it meets back up with the Castle Trail. Castle Trail is mountain bike accessible, while Turkey Trot is hiker-only. This loop can be done in reverse, but is suggested to go up Castle Trail to watch for mountain bikers coming down.
