🥾Hiking With Heart - Summer '25 "Explore Denver" Cohort Series
​Hey ladies! 👋
​I’m excited for our hike on Saturday, August 24th at Mt. Falcon Park — we’ll be doing the Parmalee Trail Loop, a beautiful and moderately challenging 3.1-mile loop with about 544 feet of elevation gain. It should take us around 1.5 hours to complete at a steady, social pace.
​Meet at the trailhead by 7:30 AM so we can get started on time and enjoy the cooler part of the morning (plus get parking before it gets busy!)
​📍 Trail Info + Map (no account required):

​🅿️ Parking:
​There’s a large, free lot at the trailhead, but it can fill up on weekends. If it’s full, look for the auxiliary lot just a bit further down the road.
​👟 What to Bring/Wear:
​Supportive athletic shoes, hiking or trail shoes
​Layers (mornings can be cool, but it warms up fast)
​Hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen
​Plenty of water
​A light snack if you’d like one at the halfway point
​💡 A few quick safety reminders:
​Stay on trail
​Be mindful of loose gravel or rocky sections
​Watch for mountain bikers — this is a shared trail
​Bring any personal medications or needs you might have (like an inhaler, allergy meds, etc.)
​
​Let me know if you have any questions. I’m really looking forward to this one — it’s a great mix of views, shade, and movement. Hope to see you there!
