The little town of Golden, Colorado is situated less than 30 minutes drive from Denver. My friend and I stopped there for a late lunch/early dinner after hiking up to St. Mary’s Glacier. We were headed to see The Local Natives and The National Bands at Red Rock Amphitheater. After walking a few blocks through town and taking some photographs…we stopped at The Bridgewater Grill for our meal. We were seated on the outside patio with a view of the small river/large creek. It’s attached to the Golden Hotel. The food was good…I would recommend it.
This statue of a man fly fishing is cool. At first I thought he had a bull whip…
The sign as you enter town, “Howdy Folks, Welcome to Golden, Where the West lives” is a nice touch!
I asked Gina if she would kiss the Indian…
There are quite a few statutes in Golden…
There’s another one of a buffalo across the street…
Golden, Colorado’s claim to fame is that it’s the home of the Coors Brewing Company. We didn’t have time to take a tour.
I hate to say it, but that’s the end of my trip to Colorado. We went to see the concert at Red Rock and I didn’t take my camera in. We left the next day to fly home to Cincinnati. I love Colorado…hopefully I can go this winter to ski!

I’ve really enjoyed this trip with you. Colorado surely does seem like a place to spend some time. By the way, I think your “bull” statue, might be a buffalo.

Thanks Michelle for coming along and I made the change to buffalo. I must’ve had “bull” on the mind because I initially said the guy with the fishing rod had a bull whip and then this! 🙂

Hey – I’m really glad that your trip to Golden was a positive time. Golden is a unique town, but don’t ask me to explain that. It just is. We live about 45 minutes west of Golden, at 8800 feet. Yeah, the statues … really cool. They have a big deal during the Christmas holiday. Thanks for the “ping” on my post. I look forward to reading more about your adventures and travel. Peace, T
