Half the fun of this park is the road that gets you here! One of the most admired engineering feats of the world is a switchback road that rises from Golden to Lookout Mountain. The Lariat Trail, now known as Lookout Mountain Road, begins west of 6th Avenue at 19th Street in Golden. It zig-zags for 4.6 road miles, rising 2,000 feet to Buffalo Bill's Grave and Museum. The scenic drive has 56 perfectly-banked curves, including seven hair-pins!
