Phenomenal biking 🚲 weather today. The bridge is part of the Peaks to Plains Trail and goes over Clear Creek, just west of Golden. Photo taken from near Sensation Point along Lookout Mountain Road (shown in the historical post card).

Metal and concrete bridge crossing over Clear Creek near Golden, Colorado. Autumn foliage present on deciduous trees. View is from above, photo taken from near Sensation Point on Lookout Mountain Road which is several hundred feet above the creek.

Historic postcard text: Sensation Point, Lookout Mountain Road (Denver Mountain Parks, Colorado). Image: Narrow mountain road, which rock walls along the right side, and a steep drop-off on the left side. A railing borders the road on the left side, to prevent travelers from falling over the edge.

There are several historic cemeteries in the hills behind Central City, including Catholic Cemetery, Foresters Cemetery, Knights of Pythias Cemetery, Redman Lodge Cemetery, Rocky Mountain IOOF Cemetery, and Central City Cemetery. A great place to enjoy nature and reflect on the past.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day, to all who celebrate.

Artist: Laurie Steelink, member of the Akimel O'otham tribe, Gila River Indian Community (from the 2023 "Desert Rider: Dreaming in Motion" exhibit at the Denver Art Museum)

Pony, 2022
From the artwork label:
Acrylic paint, found objects (metal car hood, plastic hubcap, metal Mustang running pony emblem, alloy steel red wheel spike lug nuts), cotton and synthetic yarn, adhesive stickers, Masonite, and electric light fixtures.
Pony is a portal to another realm, transporting the artist back to childhood feelings of rebellion, angst, and a longing to connect with her ancestry. The four colors refer to the Native American symbols of the Medicine Wheel and the four directions.
