Located on Lookout Mountain is the Jefferson County Nature Center. The Nature Center is open from 10 am - 4 pm Tuesday - Sunday. Program activities are FREE. Pre-registration is required no less than 48 hours before each scheduled event (Phone 526-0594). The Nature Center has a great variety of nature-related programs. A quarterly schedule can be obtained by calling the Jefferson County Open Space office identified above. Many of the Nature Center’s programs take place out in the field, so bring appropriate clothing and footwear. Binoculars and field guides on the related subject are recommended. Program activities are approximately 2 hours in length. Some special tours can be made by calling the Nature Center for information on naturalist-guided programs for groups of 5 or more. These are good Cub Scout activities. Trails at the nature center are open all year until dusk. How to get there: Take US 6 to the west side of Golden. At the. stoplight just west of the Colorado School of Mines take Lookout Mountain Road which goes west and eventually up several switchbacks on the side of the mountain. When you get to the top a sign along the highway will mark the road into the Nature Center.
