Lookout Mountain Park

I love this Mountain...breathing it all in, was mesmerizing. This is a Beautiful view. The fact that you can see 4 States from the view is amazing. Ŵe really enjoyed our time here.There's plenty of telescopes which, cost .25 to look through

Very challenging but super worth it though. I had a great workout as we hike after parking. A bit steep to test your endurance and resilience, don't forget to bring water. Overall, the adventure and the vies from the top are really spectacular and would highly recommend.

Came here at the end of October with my fiance. Unfortunately, it was a foggy day and we did not get the scenic view that we antipicated but we took the small hike that took about 20 minutes from the top parking lot near the museunlm. It was light snowing which made the surrounding trees beautiful and the experience made it worth it for us. The trail is rocky and rooty so wear the right shoes because it could get slippery. We met some nice people along the way. Would love to come back on a clear sky day to catch good views.

A golden Adventure We drove the Lariat loop National scenic byway (built in 1913) -which offered so much beauty. The road starts Golden and climbs up the steep east side of Lookout Mountain-or Mount Zion. What a beautiful drive! The journey upward is part of the adventure of exploring Lookout Mountain: the beautiful trees showcasing fall leaves, horse ranches, colorful mountains, and a plethora of hiking trails. You can't miss the American culture must visit---The Buffalo Bill Museum and grave attraction at the top of Lookout Mountain. It is home to Buffalo Bill Cody's gravesite. You can also visit the local museum which highlights artifacts that showcase the life and times of Buffalo Bill before and at the turn of the 20th century and the Old West. Really fascinating. The drive took us a few hours - because we stopped to enjoy the local attractions and to take pictures of the magical vistas! Perk: Historical stops along the way and in the fall-beautiful foliage for days.

Hiked from Golden (via Chimney Gulch trail to Windy Saddle and up to top ) all the way up to Lookout Mountain Nature center.....9.5 mile 1800+ climb. The new snow made this a real bear to hike ( micro spikes really helped.Towards the top you have a fork with options to Lookout Mountain or Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave. Both Great options!Sure you can jog, bike, drive to the top as well.Gorgeous views both West and East.Definitely visit the nature center.

Best views of Denver without the hike. Great tourist shop at the top with some good snacks. Buffalo Bill's grave, maybe..

My favorite place to just sit in the stillness and beauty. Located In Golden,CO. Towering above Denver (can be seen by the picnic area) it is a fantastic place to view and escape. Directly across the street is a nature preserve with a venue to host weddings and other engagements. Beautifully designed and decorated. There is also an outdoor chapel. Other places to visit nearby: Wild Bills Store and grave site. COORS Brewing Company, tours available. The City of Golden & River walk. The over walk also offers tubing to float and enjoy the water. School of Mines. Don't miss this location though. Driving in from I-70 the accent is unremarkable. Driving up from 19th street is the way to go if you love a view! Hairpin turn with many pull off on the way up.

This is the site that the Buffalo Billy Cody Grave and Museum sit. It is a 7,377-foot peak and gives some awesomely gorgeous views of the city of Golden, downtown Denver and the foothills. It is relatively clean and they have those coin operated binoculars positioned around the park, so that you see up close and personal. It is a short drive from down town, about 25 minutes and you have to travel some windy roads to get there. They do have a huge free parking lot. I highly recommend visiting here. Visiting here gives you a two-for-one opportunity, where you can visit the Park and the Buffalo Bill Museum/grave. It is free and relatively easy to get to and is near the Red Rock Amphitheater and a short trip from downtown Denver.

I mean, if you're not giving this place anything less 5 stars you're crazy. This is such a gorgeous spot, even just the drive up to it was beautiful. It's a our second day in CO and this was on our list. Pretty easy to get to and plenty of parking. One side of this park has a view of flatland and the other is beautiful mountains. The little bit of snow made it that much prettier too. It's just such a perfect spot to come and take some pictures. There's also a little family owned gift shop! I loved it, I got some fudge which was TO DIE FOR! Really delicious. I also got a delicious hot vegetable soup. When I asked the woman behind the counter about it she said it's a 100 year old recipe within their family. It was definitely delicious. Then keep walking down and there's a Buffalo Bill museum and more sights. The view really is breathtaking, I highly recommend this spot for a little stop on your road trip.

Lookout mountain park offers a 360degree views of Denver and it is like a short drive of around 40 minutes from boulder. It is worth the drive up the mountains. Spectacular views and don't miss it.
