الوصف
Explore Colorado's mountain towns on a day trip from Denver. Visit Gold Hill, Nederland, and Central City, and enjoy a BBQ meal, a fresh-baked cookie, and a scratch-made pastry.
Meet your guide at Denver Union Station and head northwest toward the Flatirons and Boulder. Ascend beside rushing Boulder Creek through towering granite canyon walls as your guide shares how early prospectors trekked into the foothills.
Climb off the beaten path to 8,300 feet into Gold Hill, an unpaved 1859 gold-rush town of preserved log cabins. Stroll the historic dirt main street and enjoy an included fresh-baked mountain cookie at the rustic Gold Hill General Store.
Cruise south along Colorado's oldest scenic byway, established in 1918, taking in high-alpine vistas of the Indian Peaks Wilderness and golden aspen groves. Explore the eclectic mountain town of Nederland near Barker Meadow Reservoir.
Enjoy an included scratch-made artisan pastry at New Moon Bakery & Cafe and have free time to browse local mountain shops or see the historic Carousel of Happiness.
Wind down into historic Gregory Gulch, where John H. Gregory discovered the first lode gold vein in May 1859. Admire the 1870s stone and brick Victorian architecture of Central City, including the Teller House and Central City Opera House.
Sit down for an included Memphis-style slow-smoked barbecue meal (brisket or pulled pork) at JKQ BBQ inside the historic 1860s livery stable before returning to Denver via Clear Creek Canyon.
