At the top of Lookout Mountain, there's a free observation deck to view the entire Denver Metro area. Below the deck is a restaurant, museum(for a small fee) and gift shop. A short trail leads to one of Buffalo Bill's legendary grave sites. More trails radiate from the main building for gentle, fun hikes. We love ending up on the observation deck at dusk to watch the city lights all come on--beautiful!!
