Turkey Trot Trail Loop

From the Mount Falcon Morrison Trailhead, the route sets out on Turkey Trot Trail above Vine Street, leaving the park edge for open foothill slopes, low scrub, and scattered pines with early views toward Morrison, Red Rocks Park, and the Denver plain.

It continues west on Turkey Trot Trail as the loop wraps around the Mount Falcon flank, crossing rocky sidehill terrain and quieter wooded stretches toward the outer edge of the park above Bear Creek Canyon.

Joining Castle Trail for the return, the itinerary heads back across sunlit hillsides and shaded forest to the trailhead, offering a compact Mount Falcon circuit that blends Front Range scenery, red-rock vistas, and the peaceful character of Turkey Trot Trail.
