- Golden was one of Colorado's first established communities beginning as a mining camp in 1859. At first it was very prominent, even becoming Territory Capital, but when Denver won the railroad, Golden had to turn to other alternatives including the Colorado School of Mines, Coors Brewery and coal mining. Today, Golden has become quite prestigious with the School of Mines regularly listed as one of America's Top 25 colleges, plus abundant recreation and vivid nightlife available year round.
Ski Lodge consists me and the rest of my family as we explore the great State of Colorado and more. Initially created to get everyone out of the house, it has turned into a vast collection of history, photography and general information. We are most active at skilodgecolorado

Nice place but really a lot of people that day. Thank you!
Nice job! You picked the busiest weekend to go because classes at School of Mines started the following Monday, the 21st, so there were lots of parents in town, upperclassmen moving back, and special events for incoming freshmen. If you go back, I highly recommend the Mines Museum. I went expecting it to be kind of lame but, unlike the other museums that underwhelmed you, it was really cool and it's free. Gemstones and minerals from around the world, plus displays about the history of mining.
We'll have to check it out! Thanks
Agreed! The Mines Museum is amazing and, if you haven't toured Coors, it's worth a visit as well. D'deli is a great choice for lunch but get their early before they run out of bread. You just hit it on a very busy weekend with Mines fall semester beginning. Our son is a grad of Mines but we still stop in Golden when we're in the area. Great video.
@skilodgecolorado, if you had to suggest an area for a 58 year old single woman with a 27 year old son, to live in Colorado, where would it be? Keeping in mind my comfort zone for home price is no more than 200k. I like to go walking, riding a bicycle and hiking (as long as I don’t get eaten by a bear) 😎
