We highly recommend a visit to downtown Golden over the weekend.

Downtown Golden offers great outdoor activities, including shopping, restaurants, bars, and museums.

This park allows for an accessible walk of about .5 to 1 mile along Clear Creek, which runs through downtown Golden. There is a living museum with historic structures to explore.

The Coors Brewery is located in downtown Golden. The one-hour tour costs approximately $25/person but it must be booked months in advance so if you're reading this in early 2024, reserve your tickets now.

This is a 1.5 mile gravel hiking trail highlighting the 65 million-year-old tracks and traces from dinosaurs, birds, mammals, insects, and invertebrates, uncovered during a clay mining operation. Go to the website for directions.

The 2.5-mile round trip Dinosaur Ridge Trail has more than 15 fossil and geologic sites, each marked by interpretive signage. Go to the website for driving directions to the site.

We encourage you to take a trip out to the spectacular Red Rocks Amphitheater, which is the largest natural outdoor venue in the U.S. Please plan to visit in the morning as the site closes in the afternoon when the staff starts to set up for the evening's performance.
