We visited Lookout Mountain and the grave of buffalo bill. Great views here and a free attraction. the Coors Brewery we attended for a tasting (the tours book up far in advance so be sure to book ahead). The tasting is good value for money and the staff were informative and friendly! The tasting room is nice and has lots of historic photographs to check out! Of course there is a gift shop with some great souvenirs and pricing was not bad! We went to a concert at Red Rocks outside of Golden and we highly recommend checking this place out! We would have liked more time to check out downtown Golden so we will need to return!

Love, love this town. You have to try the Buffalo Rose and make sure you try the Deli in the center of town ... best sandwiches. The Tea Shop called Old BarrelTea is an absolute must and the liquor store directly behind it as well lots of local bourbon whiskey and spirits. Love the pace and the friendly people here and its BEAUTIFUL!

Lovely small college town hidden right next to Denver. The Colorado School Mines and Coors are the big draws. However the food scene in really good and there are plenty of shops to keep you interested. Great place to live, study and visit.

Golden is my favorite place to stay when visiting CO. It is close to Denver downtown, as well as the outdoor recreation of the Rockies. The city is clean and has markedly less drifter and homeless folks than Denver or Boulder. The microbrewery out near table mountain (New Frontier, I think) is a great place to spend a Saturday. Local venders, brewers, dogs and their owners all come together for music, shopping and entertainment on their very spacious patio. They also have some low difficulty trails and a dog park right there at the brewery! Table Mountain Inn is very charming and has very kind and helpful staff. Unless you are on a very tight budget, do your best to avoid the La Quinta.

Lots to see and do here, besides the obvious front range location for fastest commuter access to Summit Count skiing. Be sure to swing by Lookout Mountain and Buffalo Bill Cody site, also visit the park nearby to see the bison herd. Red Rocks amphitheater including the Rock & Roll museum is worth a half day. You can hike there across the ridge from Morrisey park down the road, in good weather, takes a few hours round trip. Worth a visit to historic downtown Golden, you can kill a whole day exploring there, plus tours available if you don't want to self guide.

I grew up and attended school in the area and of course it has changed dramatically. Very modern and more crowded now. No folksy-ness. Miss that because I grew up in nearby Lakewood but understand because of easy access to the mountains. Well located and easy road access to other parts of Denver as well. Had to attend an event in East Denver and easily arrived in under 20 minutes. Ate at Tomatillo’s in Applewood after a 4-hour drive from Grand Junction via I-70. Tasty Mexican meal!
