During your visit enjoy our world-class outdoor recreation, cultural attractions, local charm, and the Coors Brewery, the largest single-site brewery in the world.

Whatever your style, we’ve got an activity for you, from white water kayaking to fine dining to shopping. Spend an afternoon on Clear Creek, climb aboard the trains at the Colorado Railroad Museum or drive up Lookout Mountain and visit Buffalo Bill's Grave and Museum.

There's so much to do and see in Golden, you'll create memories for a lifetime.

Be sure to visit the Echo Lake Lodge Restaurant and Gift Shop for a bite to eat, or to pick up a few souvenirs. It is also the the last stop for water and restrooms before reaching the Summit. While you are here, you will need to check-in at the Forest Service Station and pay the Mount Evans Summit fee of $10 per vehicle to proceed driving up the remaining 14 miles on the highest paved highway in North America!

On your drive up you will pass several mountain lakes, and wind through the gorgeous Alpine Meadows, an ancient Bristlecone Pine forest with miles of undisturbed tundra, amazing plant life, and plentiful wildlife. You may even see Mountain Goats, Marmots, and many more animals along the way – We only ask that you DO NOT FEED any wildlife on your adventure.

Once you reach the Summit of Mount Evans, you will be at 14,265 feet with incredible views of the entire Front Range and the Continental Divide. Many of the flora and fauna life zones at the Summit are the same as those found at the Arctic Circle. *The Mount Evans Summit, or the upper section of the road way is open from Memorial Day through Labor Day weather permitting.

"Oh My Gawd Road" aka Virginia Canyon Road www.clearcreekcounty.org/scenic-drives “Oh My Gawd Road” is the breath-taking, hairraising shortcut to nearby Central City, another historic gold rush town known as the “richest square mile on earth” – This scenic dirt road gets its name from its spectacular views as well as its narrow and curving lanes. The canyon is filled with old mining sites, and like the travelers of yesterday, many people drive the road in search of gold as they travel between Idaho Springs and the gambling communities of Central City and Blackhawk. Open year round.

Take I-70 to Exit 241 in Idaho Springs. Follow Colorado Boulevard into town, and stay to the right at the fork, take the second right onto Virginia Canyon Road and follow the road up through the residential neighborhood, which then curves to the right onto the dirt road.

BIKE

One of the best ways to experience Golden is to pedal your way around town. With 24 miles of interconnected trails, bike lanes throughout town, and world-class mountain biking, the whole family can enjoy all Golden has to offer on two wheels. On April 20, the Golden Bike Library will open for its second season, so you’ll likely see the Golden Bike Library bikes, with their signature yellow baskets, all over town.

This unique bike share program allows visitors, residents, local employees and students to “check out” a bike for a limited time-period for local use in Golden. What makes a bike library different than a traditional bike share program like “B-cycle” in Denver is that the “library” has adult bikes available in three sizes, as well as children’s bikes. Additionally, the bikes feature lightweight frames and 21 gears to navigate Golden’s hills. Users can check out bikes for local trips, employment meetings, and recreation or to link to local public transportation.

The Golden Bike Library is centrally located at the Golden Visitors Center at 1010 Washington Avenue. Users can check out bikes Thursday through Sunday from 10
