Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

If you can still pedal while going down it's not that steep.

I prefer to climb up lookout and loop around the back hitting colfax. No turns going downhill and the speeds are amusing.
The last time I was up lookout we happened upon a herd of elk.
Anyhow, I will be riding up it on my March century this Saturday. I need to start adding a bit of climbing on my centuries but Lookout is a wee bit on the easy side.
Yeah, I found lookout was best as a 3x hill repeat. I couldn't bring myself to descend the other side more than once. the switchbacks are too tasty, even though you have to really reign it in.
