- This step of your CMC Trip Leader Journey comes after you have finished the Trip Leader School Online Skills Course and taken your Wilderness First Aid Course. The Trip Leader School Scenario Session Course is a prerequisite to leading a Leader in Training Hike and getting signed off as a CMC leader.

Follow directions to the Mt. Falcon Park West parking lot (21074 Mount Falcon Road, Indian Hills, CO), and park in the upper lot. We will meet at the picnic shelter that is to the east (left) and slightly above the parking lot at 4:20pm for prompt 4:30pm class start.
We will walk together the short distance to the vault toilets along the trail and then continue on the Castle trail.
In AllTrails a map of the hike can be found as "Walker's Dream via Castle Trail." We will be stopping frequently to discuss scenarios, so plan on 3.5-4 hours.
See https://www.jeffco.us/1332/Mount-Falcon-Park for maps and weather.
Look for an email with final instructions and weather updates a day or two before the hike.
Please text Mary Ann Panarelli at 703-774-6266 if you have questions, are delayed or plans change after registration closes.
