Lookout Mountain Park
Lookout Mountain Park, Historic district in Golden, Colorado
Lookout Mountain Park spans across 65.7 acres of evergreen wilderness, featuring natural trails and providing views over the city of Golden and surrounding landscapes.
The park emerged in 1889 when local businessmen proposed creating a mountain retreat, later becoming part of the Denver Mountain Parks system in 1917.
The park includes the Buffalo Bill Museum housed in Pahaska Tepee, a wooden lodge constructed in 1921 to showcase artifacts from the American frontier.
Visitors can access the park daily from sunrise to sunset through multiple routes, with parking facilities available near the main entrance and museum.
The burial site of William Frederick 'Buffalo Bill' Cody, placed on June 3, 1917, remains a central feature of the park's historical significance.
