Golden is known as one of the most livable places in the state of Colorado. The gold rush of the mid-19th century put it on the map.

If you want to learn more about the fascinating local heritage, visit the Golden History Museum. The Mines Museum of Earth Science at Colorado School of Mines is also worth including in your itinerary. No visit to the city is complete without going on the Coors Brewery Tour and exploring other small craft breweries. After a long day, it is vital to have a restful sleep to energize you for another adventurous day.
