Mount Falcon
About
Mount Falcon is a summit of 7,849 feet in Mount Falcon Park, about a mile from the town of Indian Hills, Colorado. Tower Trail starts just 0.1 mile away, and Olde Ute Trail and Meadow Trail are each about 0.3 mile off, so the summit fits naturally into a day spent exploring the park's trail network. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Evergreen, which sits several hundred feet lower, show July highs around 81°F and September highs near 73°F with lows around 40°F. Winters are cold, with January highs in the mid-40s. Lover's Leap, a climbing area about 1.3 miles away, and Mount Morrison, about 2.6 miles away, offer more to do nearby. For an overnight stay, Dakota Ridge RV Park is about 6.4 miles away, and Clear Creek RV Park is about 8.5 miles away.
