Golden is one of my favorite easy escapes from Denver — a small town at the foot of the mountains with sunsets, happy hours and Clear Creek Canyon right on its doorstep.

Travel resources
Tools and services I personally use that may make your trip easier.
I use ClassPass when I travel because a traditional gym membership tied to one location doesn’t work well with how often I’m away from home. I’ve used it for workouts around the U.S., including Georgia, Colorado and Oregon.
