Lookout Mountain Park

Theresa Hoban

This park is excellent and has a Nature Center that is very educational and comfortable for all ages. The volunteers were super nice along with the ranger who supervises them. Shout out to the volunteer who went to the University of FL …GO GATORS - she was super nice as was the other lady volunteer! There is a lot of information on the local wildlife and hiking trails. The area is well maintained and beautiful views. Take the time to visit this center and bring the kids. It’s also super dog friendly. There is a kids area and a place for us elders to rock in rocking chairs.

Spectacular (sometimes nerve wracking) long mountainous drive from Golden, CO to the top of Lookout Mountain. The view from the top allows you to see for miles: the mountains to the left, downtown Denver to the right. Never knew this is where Buffalo Bill was buried. There is also a museum there, however, we only visited his grave. Not sure why he seems to be so highly honored (when he slaughtered so many buffalo), but it is important to always remember history so that some events are NOT repeated.

We drove the Lariat Loop and hiked a mile or so at Windy Gulch (that's not quite the right name - Windy something...). We took a couple of hours to go through, stopping a few times for the views. We were impressed with the bicyclers - looks like a hard ride, but everyone seemed to enjoy it - cars were good about going around the bicyclists, which doesn't happen everywhere. The switchbacks were fun and views spectacular. We came back the next day to check out Buffalo Bill's Museum as well.

This is a very nice place to visit. The park has a museum for Buffalo Bill. The park also includes his burial site. There are great views and many pull off on the road for pictures. A lot of walking trails, look for mountain goats, there are also bathrooms and parking. While you are here go and see the mansion on the top of the mountain, it an amazing place with a gift shop below. Closed on Mondays.
