Start the day off right with Rise n Grind. This short hike with some elevation is to start our day with a bit of exercise and intention ~ (for me that's coffee or tea).

Welcome to Rise n Grind, for morning hiking and coffee. Our objective is to start our day off right with exercise and maybe a little mindfulness too. In addition to the hike itself, we’ll take a moment to pause on the summit, reflect on our intentions for the day and perhaps do some breathing exercises. Afterward there will be an optional stop for coffee, symbolizing a fresh start and the energy needed to conquer the day.
We’ll be hiking the Turkey Trot Trail in Mount Falcon Park. The route will ascend approximately 804 feet over 3.2 miles round trip.
Please note, this is NOT a beginner hike. You should be comfortable hiking 1.5 miles per hour pace without significant breaks. We'll hike with intention so folks can get to there day's work or TODO's. Please know your own abilities and be considerate of the rest of the group when you sign up.
Mount Falcon Park East Trailhead, 3852 Vine St, Morrison, CO 80465
You’ll earn elevated views over Red Rocks Amphitheater, the town of Morrison, and beyond to downtown Denver.
