Evening Loop(ish) Hike: Mt. Falcon Park – West Access (Indian Hills)

Let's escape the heat of the city and enjoy an evening hike at Mt. Falcon Park. All levels of experience are welcome, but if you are looking to set a new Personal Record on your FitBit, this is NOT the hike for you.

We will hike on the Castle Trail 0.8 miles to Walker's Castle, then descend another 0.5 miles to Walker's Dream Trail. From there it's another 0.3 miles to the Summer White House ruin. We will return via the Meadow Trail.
