Lakewood, Colorado

Where Denver meets the mountains — Red Rocks is practically in the backyard

Home Destinations Denver Metro Area Lakewood

Lakewood hugs the foothills along Denver's western edge, stretching from Bear Creek to the base of Green Mountain. The city's defining feature is its proximity to the mountains — Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Dinosaur Ridge, and the start of I-70's mountain corridor all sit within or adjacent to Lakewood's borders. The Belmar district has become a walkable downtown alternative with restaurants, shops, and a movie theater. Bear Creek Lake Park offers 2,600 acres of trails, a swim beach, and mountain views that feel far more remote than 15 minutes from Denver.
