You can see William Frederick Hayden Park on the right, and Denver on the left from Carl's Point. A perfect spot to take a mid ride photo or simply take a break and enjoy the view.

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.

Tucker Gulch, stretching for about eight miles, plays a significant role as a watershed running from east to west. It cuts through the prairie, situated roughly one mile north of Clear Creek Canyon, and runs parallel to it. The name "Tucker Gulch" is derived from Alfred Tucker, who ran a tollgate within the canyon entrance during the 1860s. Cycling is not allowed here, so you'll have to dismount and walk your bike.

From the mountainside of Lichen Peak you have a nice view down to the City of Golden and into the surrounding hills and mountains.
