Denver Neighborhoods: Golden

The Wild West is still alive in Golden, Colorado's territorial capital until 1867. Upon arriving in Golden, you are welcomed with an old-fashioned wooden arch over Washington Street, reading, "Howdy Folks! Welcome to Golden, Where the West Lives" Today, the town is home to six museums; Coors Brewery, one of the largest brewing facilities in the world; and a downtown filled with shops and restaurants. The famed Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre is just up the road in Morrison. If you're looking for outdoor adventure, Golden is also home to miles of hiking trails for all levels, some stellar rock climbing and Clear Creek, which runs through the center of town and offers whitewater rafting, tubing, kayaking and excellent fishing. With its secluded, small-town feel and plenty to see and do, Golden is a great day trip option from Denver.
