Need some new driving roads, used to live in Lakewood and there was a lot of good ones fairly close, now live in west side Littleton and only really know of deer creek canyon. Anything else nearby I can check out less than an hour away? We usually take deer creek canyon to turkey creek past tiny town and up to 285 and back, but we miss the elevation of lookout mountain or coal creek canyon especially. I’m sure OPPO knows some other good ones and I’m hankering for a drive tonight!

Pictured: where I hope to be this time next month if my vacay gets approved!

105 from Sedalia to Palmer Lake. Road to Deckers from Sedalia. Early season early morning hillclimbs to Winter Park vs medicated X5s and hooners in STis. Turkey Creek Road. Everything between Colorado Springs and Granby, basically.

RMSolo.org. More fun. Check it out -

no idea, I’d be interested too.

lookout is nice, as is 285, but noth so pstrolled.

i can tell you if you take the twisties on this side of town you end up face to face with awrospace security.

I heartily agree with those first two. I haven’t been thru Deckers in a while, think I need to do that soon.

I haven’t gotten tired of Deer Creek Canyon.

My go-to mountainy drive is usually 74 from Morrison through Kittredge and Evergreen, then 73 from Evergreen to Conifer, then back through Deer Creek Canyon.

Every other one I keep thinking of are further away than you want and kind of long. I need to explore more.

Try Hwy 93 north from Golden to Hwy 72 West (Coal Creek Canyon). Turn right on Hwy 119 (Peak to Peak) to Nederland, then Boulder Canyon back down in to town.

Yeah this'll have to wait for a longer day off but looks great, we like fishing in Pine and are considering moving to monument so it'll be a nice trip.

Ended up doing this exact thing in reverse! Saw mt. Lindo on Google maps and thought it looked promising, got there and it’s a heavily rutted dirt road so a no-go in my lowered Miata. Went past tiny town and randomly decided to turn right onto north turkey creek I think? Half an hour of where are we? later and we ended up in evergreen lol and found our way back. Will definitely have to try in daylight, it was a little too tight and wooded to really push it much in the dark.

That's a good one there's just so much construction and stuff in golden, we find ourselves avoiding it lately, especially the lookout mountain area.

Also deer creek canyon just has so many bicyclists, especially on Sundays, and tiny town creeps my wife out at night lol.
