Golden Loves “Meeting People”
Colorado’s First Capital is Perfect for Small Meetings, Reunions and Weddings

LOCATED JUST 12 miles from Denver with highway access to Denver International Airport, Golden is easy to reach, and yet offers a completely different mountain experience for small meetings, family reunions, weddings, even girlfriend getaways.
The key to the historic Old West town is that it is pedestrian-oriented and sits in lovely Clear Creek Valley, surrounded in all directions by rocky buttes and mountains. Everything in town is easy to reach by a short walk. And what a walk it can be. Pretty Clear Creek flows through the center of Golden and is followed by a paved bike path that stretches nearly three miles up into the mountains to the west, and more than 15 miles east all the way to downtown

Denver. All of downtown Golden’s hotels are on the Clear Creek Trail or just a few blocks away, as are more than two dozen restaurants, five outdoor beer gardens, a live theatre, a concert music hall and several museums.
The people of Golden love to live outdoors and the historic town has become one of the top centers for outdoor recreation on the Front Range. Opportunities for “team building” activities abound, including bike riding, rock climbing in Clear Creek Canyon, hiking mountain trails, golf on one of Colorado’s most beautiful courses (where you can see dinosaur tracks made by a T-Rex!), fly fishing, kayaking and rafting.
Meeting and wedding sites in picturesque settings can also be found, from a millionaire’s former mountaintop lodge to the Colorado Railroad Museum where a pavilion is surrounded by narrow gauge steam locomotives and working trains, to gorgeous creekside settings just a few minutes walk from first class hotels and fine dining.
Golden is also just a few minutes drive from the amazing Red Rocks Amphitheatre, making it the perfect place to combine a wedding or meeting with an unforgettable, bucket list concert night. With more than 700 hotel rooms, ranging from delightful bed & breakfasts to brand new, state-of-theart hotels, and its ideal location, Golden can offer all the opportunities of a mountain town event, just minutes from a major international airport. •
