Windy Saddle Park

Really nice park with some trails and a lot of great pull offs with beautiful overlooks of the city and mountains. Some ice and snow this time of year, but the shorter stair hike is in the sun so it had melted by the time I got there. Bring spikes and you'd be fine!

Loved it. Quick little hike to the top. Lots of stairs. Well manicured steps though. The views are marvelous. Will definately be back.

Super cool place to visit and hike. Amazing views and the name says it, it was windy! Small parking lot and clean bathrooms at the stop. Definitely won’t regret stopping by on your way up or down.

I've been coming here for years and it's a popular spot but never too crowded to enjoy a little solitude. Some of the best views of Boulder, Denver, etc and Eastern Colorado that you're going to get without a park pass or driving an hour further into the mountains. The roads are very treacherous depending on whether and watch for wildlife as I've personally spotted mountain lion and deer alike.

Gorgeous views and scenery. At least three hiking trails to choose from. Slow, easy drive uphill. Climb the steps for nice views of Denver, the Golden flat tops and the surrounding mountains and wildflowers. Bring water and a hat. as it does get very hot in the summer. We were there on an overcast afternoon and caught some great shots of the ominous rain clouds. There’s a museum and nature center nearby we’ll visit in the future, but easily doable on the same trip if you’re not in a hurry.
