About the location

Golden is the perfect little town for you to branch out and see any part of the Rockies your trip may take you! It's equidistant between the mountains and downtown Denver so it's the perfect home base for a weekend in the city and a backpacking expedition!

This guide will give you everything you need to know whether you're looking for a quick pit stop on your Colorado adventure, or a week long stay in the historic and quaint town at the foot of the Rockies!

Golden is the perfect travel destination for families, couples, and solo travel! This guide highlights 3 of the best hotels in downtown Golden, 15+ restaurants and breweries, and a full page of hiking trails (from easy walks to day long treks).

This guide includes a complete packing list for every season. Golden is beautiful year round and I've included options for activities in all weather.
