Lookout Mountain

Highlight • Viewpoint

Lookout mountain is the go-to climb for cyclists all over the area. The climb starts off moderately steep, levels off mid way, then picks back up at the top. Traffic is generally light and most cars are courteous. Once you hit the top, you are treated with panoramic views of downtown Denver at the Buffalo Bill Memorial viewing platform.

Windy Saddle Park Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

This point offers amazing views of an open canyon (with a bathroom just in case). Many people drive up to this point, but they are missing the canyon hike on the way up. You can head back down from this point, or continue on to the much longer (and scenic) Lookout Mountain Trail.
