Turkey Trot Trail Loop via Castle Trail in Mount Falcon Park

From the Morrison Trailhead, the route starts on Castle Trail, leaving the edge of town for open foothill slopes, switchbacks and early views toward Red Rocks and the Denver skyline.

It then joins Turkey Trot Trail, a hiker-focused section that climbs and contours through quieter pine, scrub and rocky hillside scenery along the side of Mount Falcon.

The loop reconnects with the Castle Trail corridor for the return, descending through broader, more exposed terrain with sweeping bends, Front Range foothill views and a final approach back to the Morrison trailhead.
