Forest and Meadow Loop
This short, educational hike, which meanders through meadow and ponderosa forest atop Lookout Mountain, offers wonderful views of the high plains and Denver, as well as comprehensive interpretation of the area’s natural and cultural features. The new Lookout Mountain Nature Center serves as the jumping-off spot for the hike; it offers interpretive programs for both the young and old (the nearby Boettcher Mansion serves as a conference center). Signs along this easy trail describe the ecology of montane wildlands.
