RMOTHG Trip – Mount Falcon - West TH

This is a scenic and enjoyable hike to the “Summer White House” starting from the West Trailhead of Mount Falcon Park in Indian Hills. At 4 mrt and 538 feet of elevation gain we will snowshoe or spike-hike a loop that includes the Castle Trail, Meadow Trail and Walker's Dream Trail. We'll do an enjoyable “Casual Plus” Pace where we can easily chat with one another along the way but also Move Steadily.

  • Ski Poles are recommended as they are great for balance and helping to prevent falls. They can also be helpful for fending off bears, mountain lions and BigFoot:)

  • As icy patches / stretches are common in Winter, microspikes are mandatory.

  • The leader will contact everyone the day before the trip with weather and trail conditions. This will determine whether snowshoes are needed or just microspikes.
