Central City & Golden Heritage
Gold Rush History, Mountain Views, Victorian Charm
Follow the path of Colorado's original fortune seekers through the foothills west of Denver. Begin in Golden — where Clear Creek runs through a walkable downtown framed by mesas and Table Mountain. Climb Lookout Mountain to the Buffalo Bill Museum & Grave, with 200-mile views stretching from the Continental Divide to the plains. Then wind through the canyon to Central City, one of the richest square miles on Earth in 1859, where Victorian opera houses and historic saloons still line the streets.
