This trail is somewhat steep so we will be taking a casual pace up with plenty of breaks as needed. Our reward will be the lookout tower at the very top where we'll have great views of the metro area and surrounding mountains.

We will meet at the east entrance/trailhead that's officially called the "Mount Falcon Morrison Trailhead" at 3852 Vine Street Morrison, CO 80465
Please arrive at this location NO LATER than 07:00 am - this will ensure we all have a place to park, plus an early start will help us beat the heat!
Required Equipment
Please bring plenty of water. I usually carry up to two litres for this hike in case it gets hot. Also bring snacks for along the route and when we stop on top.
I'm posting this trip about ten days in advance so I have no idea what the weather will be! As such, be prepared with rain gear and layers should wet, cold conditions set in. Otherwise, be sure to have proper footwear and protection from the strong sun on clear days - hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, etc.
