Great place to hike or ride your bike. Be prepared to get the heart rate soaring:) About 12-15 min drive to trail head.

Not too far. This trail is much more demanding: 5800' at trailhead, 7300' at Buffalo Bill's grave. That's a 1500' gain in altitude over about 3 & 1/2 miles. Start in high plains & then ascend to montane. Nice view of Golden at top.

This is a great hike right near Golden. The top has incredible views, & then you can head to Golden after for some food and drinks! Moderate hike as a lot of it is uphill.

Beautiful trail up Lookout Mtn. About 4 miles if you take it up to the very top but great pull offs and views the whole way up. Awesome for mtn biking too but not for beginners.

Steep and challenging hike up to Lookout Mountain (where Wild Bill was buried).
