The Lariat Loop Scenic Byway is Colorado's only urban byway. This byway, which runs 33 miles, is filled with cultural, natural and historic landmarks. The Lariat Loop is filled with museums, good entertainment, tantalizing cuisine, and plenty of opportunities for hunting, hiking and horseplay. The byway starts on US 6 in Golden, traveling up Lookout Mountain Road, then southwest down to US 40 onto I-70 at Genesse. The loop continues on SH 74 from El Rancho through Evergreen to Morrison. Hogback Road then continues north to US 40, and then Heritage Road back to US 6.

The Lariat Loop Byway provides access to many attractions. The main attraction on the byway is Lookout Mountain. It is here where "Buffalo" Bill Cody's grave lies. The grave is located near the Buffalo Bill museum and Pahaska Tepee. The byway also travels by Red Rocks Park. This area has been referred to as "Garden of the Angels." The park is filled with huge red rocks combined with a 10,000-seat theater and orchestra pit, where performers such as Blues Traveler, Bill Cosby, Dave Matthews Band and many, many others have graced the stage.

Evergreen Lake is a popular area for recreation. Boating, year-round fishing, and ice skating are popular activities on the lake. Outdoor concerts are also held on the lake frequently. The northwest portion of the lake feature bridges and board walks through the wetlands.
