Golden - "Where the West Lives"
Description
Lying along the nearby banks of Clear Creek, the city of Golden, Colorado sits at the fringes of the Front Range. The majestic Rocky Mountains can be seen towering in the backdrop, where the wilderness is always calling to nature lovers. Founded during the mid 1800s, Golden was first known as a mining camp that was set up at the time of the Pikes Peak Gold Rush. Originally the town was called Golden City in honor of Thomas L. Golden, and as Golden City it was the capital of what was then known as the official Territory of Colorado. Although, in 1867 Denver City became the official capital of what is now the state of Colorado.
