The Lariat Loop National Scenic Byway is a 40-mile looped roadway connecting the historic towns of Evergreen, Morrison, and Golden.
While in Golden, make sure to visit our local attractions:
*Colorado Railroad Museum
*Colorado School of Mines
*Mines Museum of Earth Science
*Golden History Museum & Park
*Miners Alley Performing Arts Center
*Foothills Art Center at Astor House
*Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum.
While Colorado’s 14ers lie to the west, Golden is just a few blocks from some of the best hiking trails in the foothills of the Rockies. Located just west of Golden are Mount Zion and Lookout Mountain, these are two gems on the Lariat Loop Byway. Lookout Mountain is the final resting place for Buffalo Bill Cody, perhaps the most famous American of the West. Golden is accessible by light rail, Interstate 70, and US Highways 6 and 93.
