JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. — Changes are coming to one of the most iconic, scenic roads on Colorado's Front Range.
One is much more imminent: For long-held security concerns, automated night-time gates are expected to start Nov. 11 along a 4-mile stretch of Lookout Mountain Road. One gate will be posted around the Chimney Gulch Trail pullout, up the road from Golden, and the other up around Lookout Mountain Park, before the Buffalo Bill Museum.
That stretch is also the focus of Jefferson County officials eyeing changes to the way drivers and cyclists use the road.
