Golden, Colorado; a city of sun and adventure nestled at the base of the majestic Rocky Mountains. With an impressive average of 245 sunshine-filled days each year, it's the perfect playground for lovers of the great outdoors, boasting stunning parks, invigorating hiking trails, and challenging biking paths alongside the rushing waters of Clear Creek.

Our story starts in 1859, during the mood of excitement and ambition that was the Pike's Peak Gold Rush. Golden City, as we were first known, was the go-to place for supplies and a taste of civilization. Now, we're home to the esteemed Colorado School of Mines, respected for its modern interpretation of engineering and applied sciences.

We're the proud birthplace of the Coors Brewery, started in 1873 and still part of our community fabric today, alongside more modern influences like our educational institutions and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

For the curious traveler, Golden has a wealth of attractions. From the historic Buffalo Bill Museum to the Golden History Center, from the excitement of the Clear Creek Whitewater Park to the tranquillity of the Golden Gate Canyon State Park, there's something for everyone. We even offer free admission to our cultural sites on the first Saturday of each month, and the Foothills Art Center has been a hub for local and international artists since 1972.

Famous faces from Golden include Adolph Coors, founder of Coors Brewery, and "Buffalo Bill" Cody. You can visit Buffalo Bill’s resting place and museum on Lookout Mountain, a place he loved so much he chose it as his final resting place.

So, come and explore Golden – where the spirit of the Wild West meets the beauty of the Colorado landscape, creating an unforgettable adventure.
