Mount Falcon Meadowlark, Ute, Devils Elbow and Parmalee Gulch trails
Our 5 day trip was cut short due to Covid. I’ll have to come back and hike Willow Creek Falls near Silverthorne, Silver Dollar Lake and Estes Park.
After I recovered from Covid, I was able to hike Mount Falcon near Evergreen and Morrison, Colorado. Beautiful views, nice trails and I saw deer.
Free parking and bathrooms. It was not busy during the week.
I used AllTrails to navigate the trail.

    Nice video. I've been studying my topo map to figure out some new, shorter circuits in the Mammoth area and I've been considering going over Duck Pass down to the JMT, then hike north to Red Cones (all downhill after the summit at DP), then go back up over Mammoth Pass to Horseshoe Lake, or optionally finish at Reds Meadow (timing it when the road is open). I'm curious if there were any water sources between the start of the Crater Meadow trail and Red Cones? On the map I can see a stream about halfway, but it might be seasonal. Then when you get to Red Cones I see another stream that I think is pretty reliable, unless it's a drought year.
