Visit the Golden Historical Park and take a walk along the beautiful Clear Creek Trail. For a chilly adventure, take a cold plunge in Clear Creek in Parfet Park!
Staunton State Park is a relatively short drive from the front range and has great hiking trails, rock climbing and mountain biking. It's one of Katie and Tomo's go-to mountain biking destinations!
Another beautiful CO state park. It's a great destination for hiking and rock climbing.
Downtown Golden is a must visit destination in the front range! Washington Ave has a great selection of local shops, restaurants, and there are several good breweries nearby (our favorite is Golden City Brewery, just a block from Katie's). You can also tour the Coor's Brewery if you're so inspired!
One of the best places to see the fall colors, especially Colorado's famous aspen trees! For more information and to see other fall colors drives, check out this article: https://www.colorado.com/articles/4-fall-foliage-drives-colorado
Located a short distance from Idaho Springs, Colorado, this hike to Saint Mary’s Glacier offers spectacular views and the chance to visit a beautiful alpine lake and glacier. Summer is a great time to visit the glacier. The snow-covered landscape during the winter also makes for some amazing views at the top.
The Peak to Peak highway is a gorgeous drive not far from Golden and Golden Gate State Park.
