Mild hike out with great view at the end
Beautiful hiking spot ! Great views all along the hike. Can get crowdy on Sunday and holidays.
Great hike! Took a photo at nearby bench. We hike this every year.
Great hike up Mount Falcon just after arriving in Denver. Great way to start tuning up for bigger climbs this week.
Fascinating history about the Western Whitehouse.
We enjoyed a beautiful day on this "Easy" rated hike. The paths are wide and level with some rocky outcroppings to venture out to for kids to climb on. It is not a strenuous hike. I think a stroller would work fine for the little ones. I saw a couple of kids that were running on the way into the park but their parents were carrying them on the way out.
Parking is limited with 2 small lots but we just parked on the side of the road and walked up to the entrance.
They do have restrooms (clean, well kept Outhouses, bring hand sanitizer)
at the very beginning of the trail. There are benches scattered throughout the trails to catch your breath and enjoy the views. You can see the Red Rock Amphitheatre in my photo.
Once you get to the Summer White House I'd say you are about to the half way point. The end of the easy part has a small pavilion to stop for shade and a rest. No strollers beyond here. We hiked down a little further on a narrow winding trail.
