Sit on the porch

- Get comfortable in your favorite chair with a blanket over your lap and enjoy some hot cocoa while listening to the sounds of nature around you.

You’ll see nearby Longs Peak and Golden Gate Canyon State Park to your west, as well as Denver to your east.
If you’re looking for somewhere special for lunch or dinner after your drive up Lookout Mountain, check out The Tavern at Cordillera (located in Broomfield); it serves farm-to-table food with locally sourced ingredients from other local farms and vendors.
Explore Allenspark on Mount Evans
There are many things to do in Broomfield Colorado, but one of the best is to hike Mount Evans. This mountain offers some amazing views of the area and can be done by anyone with a good pair of walking shoes.
Mount Evans gets its name from Rt. 7’s first superintendent, Albert Bierstadt named it after his friend and fellow artist Edwin James’ wife Isabelle (Isabel) Evans. It was once used as an observatory for studying astronomy, but now it’s open for hiking year-round. Three different roads lead up to Mount Evans: Echo Lake State Wildlife Area Road (closed in winter), Echo Lake Park Road (open year-round), and Kenosha Pass Road (open Memorial Day – Labor Day). You can drive up this road in your own car—just remember that you need chains if you’re going during winter! Or you can bike or walk up this mountain if you want a more relaxed pace.

The following list provides information about some of the best places to visit in Broomfield if you’re looking for something fun to do on your next trip:
- Vineyard Cellars Winery & Bistro – This family-owned business has been making premium wines since 2010 by hand at their vineyard in Boulder County near Longmont.
