Please check local regulations for: Windy Saddle Park
Location: Golden, Jefferson County, Colorado, United States
Lookout Mountain is easily the most popular and scenic road within the Denver vicinity. The road is well paved and offers continuous views of mountains and the city. After you pass Windy Saddle Park, you break 7k feet of elevation and enter the evergreen trees. If it is a cold day, this is typically the coldest part of the climb and drops a few number of degrees. Cars are generally considerate going up the road, but cyclists also need to be considerate, so stay single file and be aware of your surroundings.
