Sarah’s Guide to Lakewood & Surrounding Area
Sightseeing
Amazing view of the Front Range
Extensive Hiking & Mountain Biking Trails
This is a great family hike and the trails are generally busy. Use good trail manners and move over for people ascending or passing. Also be mindful of the flora and stay on trail. Bikers are to yield to hikers and horses. But it is a hard ride! So if they are ascending help them out by allowing them to pass.

Embrace Colorado's active vibe and run the stairs like the locals do. I grew up doing this and it never stops being brutal.

This attraction is a great way to get out into nature while exploring some of Colorado’s dinosaurs. It can be a great walking tour or they also have a shuttle that runs regularly.

This is a great hole in the wall river spot. Mostly only locals know about it. We always skip past Lair ‘O the Bear to come here. It has picnic benches, hiking and exploring trails and a nice slow stretch of the river to play in. Cell phone service is terrible, so don’t expect to make phone calls.

I grew up in Green Mountain and our summers wouldn’t be complete without the faint roar of engines echoing through our backyard. (Don’t worry, our house is far enough not to hear.) Racing goes on all summer. The Mile High Nationals takes place every July. They also have smaller events, local enthusiast races, high school competitions, etc.
It’s closed for the winter, but during the holidays they host a drive-thru Christmas light attraction that is awesome. It’s pay by car, so load up the gang and get some hot cocoa on the way!

Food scene
This quaint restaurant in Morrison has indoor seating or a walk up order window. It is known and loved for the huge sprinkles ice cream cones! The ones in the picture are the small size. You may get into a debate over the better choice: sprinkles or chocolate dipped. Don’t miss this gem after a day on the river or window shopping with friends.

Authentic Mexican food. We have a friend from Guadalajara who eats here, it’s legit! The drive through line is almost always snaked around the parking lot. And it is slow to get through, averaging 20 minutes. But we love it! Try the breakfast burritos or really any burrito, it’s called Burrito Express for a reason. 😀
