There are so many things to do around Denver and Golden. Take advantage of the city and the natural beauty all around!
Even at a mile high, Denver itself is pretty flat. The western suburbs like Golden, Boulder, Morrison and others are right at the edge of the mountains. Just remember, the farther west you go the deeper into the Rocky Mountains you’ll be. What looks close on a map might be a long drive around the peaks.
