Linking Lookout (US 6 & 19th St. Interchange)

Need a passport this year? Make your appointment now!
If travel is in your New Year's plans, but you need a passport to make it happen, it's worth planning ahead.
The City of Golden is unable at this time to accommodate walk-in applicants so call ahead at 303-384-8000 to make an appointment. And it's best to do it sooner rather than later. The calendar is filling up, and it still takes 4 to 6 weeks
after your appointment for the government to process the application (unless you want to pay for expedited processing).

Recycle your Christmas Tree
Not sure what to do with your tree now that the presents are gone and the lights have come down? Why not give it a new life as mulch that nourishes Golden's gardens this spring? The City of Golden provides a quick and easy way for you to dispose of your Christmas trees after the ornaments and lights have come off.
Drop off your trees through Jan. 27 at the old recycle site off of Golden Gate Canyon Road. Please place your tree near the sign posted for tree recycling. Trees must be stripped of all ornaments, hardware, strings of lights and tinsel. This is for live trees only. The trees will be turned into mulch, which will eventually be available for free at the public pickup site on 11th Street, just west of the Clear Creek History Park. For further details, contact the City of Golden Forestry office at 303-384-8141.
