As snow on the plains this Christmas and new years has been scarce to say the least, we took a run to Lookout Mountain, about an hour from Denver, to get a view of some of the snow-capped Rocky Mountains in Colorado and hike the trail.
This is a prominent foothill west of the city of Golden. It's an official state Park loved by cyclist and hikers right beside the museum bb of the poplar folk hero Buffalo Bill Cody.
Although I don't take chances with Colorado weather so carried my thickest coat for surety, I certainly never needed it as we actually drove around with windows down and certainly didn't need it once we started hiking.

The area is replete with cyclists.
As a cyclist myself what stood out were the signs delaring that one full lane of the two-laned roads were reserved for cyclists!!What a lovely right to have as a rider.
