Golden

Golden is best known in Colorado for the Coors Brewery, founded here in 1873 by Adolph Coors. Clear Creek runs through the city as it leaves the Front Range foothills, while North and South Table Mountains shape much of the surrounding terrain. Golden served as the capital of the Colorado Territory from 1862 to 1867, before the role moved to Denver. The Colorado School of Mines, established in 1874, has given the city a long-standing focus on engineering and earth sciences. Its compact downtown combines Western-era brick storefronts with creekside parks and trails. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Golden and Colorado.
