Mount Falcon

Today we went to Mount Falcon for the 2nd time with some friends from church. The weather was questionable, but the Lord kindly kept the rain away until the very end.

"The story of Mount Falcon is largely the story of John Walker, who once owned 4,000 acres of land. During the early 1900's Walker lived in an elaborate stone house on Mount Falcon. Walker's home burnt in 1918, and all that remains of this once splendid edifice are the massive stone walls and numerous fireplaces of this unique mountain castle."

I didn't take any pics of the remains today, but you can see them on my Jan 19th post.

"Walker planned the construction of a summer home for Presidents of the United States, which was to have been located on a ridge to the east of his home. The construction of the Summer White House never proceeded beyond the laying of the foundation. American involvement in World War I, combined with a waning of Walker's good fortunes, brought an end to this project."

Look closely and you can see Denver in the background

Storm rolling in!

Red Rocks in the distance!

Make a wish!
