Only 30 miles away from Denver, 12,000 acres of Golden Gate Canyon State Park
awaits you with hiking, picnicking and camping among dense forest, rocky peaks
and aspen-filled meadows.
The mountain splendor of Golden Gate Canyon's wildflower meadows, glorious
autumn colors and spectacular view from the famous Panorama Point of over 100
miles of the Continental Divide make the park ideal for sightseers and
photographers. Miles upon miles of mountain trails for hiking, biking and
horseback riding and 155 campsites make Golden Gate Canyon accessible to
everyone. Golden Gate Canyon is a great place for young anglers and fall color
viewing.
Golden Gate Canyon State Park, 92 Crawford Gulch Road, Golden Colorado 80403;
303-582-3707.
