Lookout Mountain Golden, ColoradoThursday June 18: Golden, Colorado (just west of Denver). We are in Clear Creek City Park N39° 45.197' W105° 13.193'. The campground is located on the south side of 10th street at the end of the road. Clear Creek City Campground is one of the nicest (location wise) campgrounds you can stay in (our opinion). located on Clear Creek 3-blocks from downtown Golden. They have paved interior roads with small backin sites (mature trees are so wonderful); 50-amps, water and sewer, $28.91 per-night 303-278-1437. There is a 2-week max stay before you have to leave the park and they do not take reservations. View of Golden, Colorado & the Coors Brewery from Lookout Mountain
Coming down off Lookout Mountain there are magnificent views of Golden with the Coors plant dominating the landscape. Red roofed buildings in the bottom right corner are on the Colorado School of Mines Campus. That is downtown Denver in the picture to the right.
View of Denver from Lookout Mountain west of Golden, Colorado
That is Denver in the distance with Golden, Colorado up closer. The views from Lookout Mountain are really cool.
Magpie on Lookout Mountain Golden, Colorado
Magpies are beautiful birds. In pictures they look to be black and white. However the extremely long tail is actually a dark blue when sunlight hits it just right. This was just what we needed to signal an end to our beautiful drive.
