Steep. Bring your gears. Wonderful views. Ride it early during the week

The Frisco Historic Park & Museum features a collection of preserved buildings and artifacts, including 11 original structures from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These include the 1902 Schoolhouse Museum, a log chapel, a jail, a trapper's cabin, and several historic homes, as well as Native American items and mining-era relics. Admission to both the park and the museum is free.

This is a scenic spot to look out over the reservoir. The dam itself was built in the early 1960s and required relocating the original town of Dillon, which is now sitting beneath the water. Today, the reservoir holds Denver’s largest water supply and sends it through a tunnel under the Continental Divide. Surrounded by mountain towns, Dillon Reservoir is a popular locale for boating, fishing, and summer concerts at the lakeside amphitheater.

Lookout Mountain is a popular climb for local cyclists and visitors. Traffic is normally light and friendly, but the climb is steep at points. However, you are rewarded at the top by wonderful views of downtown Denver.

Great place to check out the crazy history of railroads from Colorado's mining past. Lots of narrow-gauge trains, you can do rides, and the museum building is a replica of an 1880s-style railroad depot.

From the Dillion Reservoir Recpath there are great views of the south end of the Dillion Reservoir. The edge of the water is only a few feet away, and with the occasional tree obstructing the view, it is overall a great way to see the reservoir.
