Mount Falcon Park"Each trail will reveal a bit of history and nature's awesome views"'
- Nancy Davis, Littleton, CO
Historic sites and scenic vistas await park visitors. Castle trail leads from the plains at the east end of the parkto the foothills via a narrow road which once carried Stanley Steamer autos. The trail then branches to exploreforest and meadows and the many points of interest at the trail summits'
HistoryThe story of Mount Falcon is largely the story of John Brisben Walker, who once owned over 4,000 acres of land
in this area. During the early 1900's Walker lived in an elaborate stone house on Mount Falcon while planning
the construction oia summer home for the Presidents of the United States, which was to have been located on
a ridge to the east of his home. Walker's home burned in 1918, and all that remains of this once splendidedifice are the massive stone walls and numerous fireplaces of a unique mountain castle'On this site the crumbling remnants of a broken dream and the views of the plains to the east and mountainsto the west combine to create an inspirational setting. The construction of the Summer White House neverproceeded beyond the laying of the foundation and cornerstone, though thousands of Colorado school childreneach donated 1O cents toward Walker's dream. American involvement in W.W. I, combined with a waning ofWalker's good fortunes, brought an end to this project. From the site of the Summer White House one may lookdown on Red Rocks Park, one of Walker's dreams come true'
John Brisben Walker was a man of many visions. He made fortunes on land speculation in West Virginia and his
purchase of Cosmopolitan Magazine, but other ventures were less successful. Walker's purchase of the Stanleybteamer Company was a losing bet against Henry Ford's internal combustion engine. Although he held vastfortunes at various times in his life, Walker died penniless in 1931 at the age of 83.
TrailsThe present multi-use trails lead to historic sites and scenic vistas throughout the park.
These trails lead from the plains at the east end of the park, up the foothills on a narrow road which once
carried Stanley Steamers, and through forests and meadows to the many points of interest at the top'o Eagle Eye Shelter, once the home of a
more recent tenant, provides a panoramicview from Indian Hills, to Evergreen, andMou nt Eva ns.
o Atop Mou nt Fa lcon itself, a woodentower rises to yield intriguing views of theruins, Red Rocks Park, and the plains.
