Golden is an old gold rush mining town located just west of Denver. It only takes about half an hour to get there from Downtown Denver, so it's another very convenient option for your Denver day trip needs. This city is home to some lovely hiking trails, as well as unique attractions like the Colorado School of Mines Geology Museum and the Colorado Railroad Museum, offering amazing insight and glimpses into the fascinating past and mining heritage of the Denver area.
