Getting your player ready...
For this weekend’s adventure, take a pass on the Interstate 70 slowdown and max out on off-pavement adventures and end-of-summer celebrations in Golden. Minutes from Denver, you’ll discover new ways to cool off, relive the state’s first mining boom, connect with some foothills folks and critters, and bike or hike to panoramic mountain views you’ll never match anywhere else this close to town. – Kathlene H. Sutton, special to The Denver Post
Getting around: Head west on Sixth Avenue/U.S. 6 to Golden.
