There’s a very large herd of Elk - easily 100+ gathered just west of rt 6 across from Fossil Trace. One bull was closest to 6 at the flashing crossing thinking about crossing towards the golf course. Very cool to see so many down this way so early. 🦌🦌🦌

We are headed Golden next week for concert at Red Rocks. It's a short trip but we are hoping to pack it with seeing the area. Looking for some cool restaurants, breweries and some places we should make sure we visit. We love finding those hidden gem restaurants.

Is there any place around Black Hawk or Golden areas I can park my car and sleep in it where I won't be told to move on? I'm not that picky honestly. I'll sleep in Nederland, Pinecliff or anywhere.

Thanks

Moving to Golden for a job in Littleton and planning to drive this route daily. Anyone with experience on this commute? How’s the traffic, best routes, and any tips for avoiding congestion? Thanks!

My significant other and I are moving to Colorado in early 2025. He has a job in Boulder and I will likely be commuting to Denver. We were curious about the commute time from Golden to Denver. Google maps says it takes approximately 20-25 mins but I’m wondering if that’s totally accurate? I’d be in office probably everyday.

Hi, we’re coming to visit next spring and I’m wondering what are some good places to hike around/in Golden?

Good evening!! As title says, I live on East St and am just curious if we will have trick or treaters this year or if Golden does something different for Halloween. Just moved here this year and am curious what happens on Halloween!!

Hello all! I will be passing through Golden in a campervan in a couple weeks and want to park overnight for one night (preferably at a campground but anywhere safe will do) close to downtown. We want to be able to walk back to our van after exploring the downtown area and not have to worry about driving anywhere if we decide to have a beer or two. Please let me know of any recommendations! :)

Need to get car temp tags and none of the jeffco DMV locations have any appointments listed for this week. Does anyone know if any of the Jeffco DMVs still take walk ins?

I know the big one at the courthouse is appt only, but what about the smaller locations?

I don't mind going and sitting there for hours if need to, just can't realistically wait until any of the available appointments.

Colorado office seekers routinely make their stances known on issues like the economy, taxes, energy development and gun control. But as more people struggle with mental health challenges, state candidates should let voters know how they stand on mental health policy, too.

Hi again! This month's women in data science networking event will be held on October 31st at 6:30 pm, at the Rayback Collective. Feel free to dress up, if you'd like!

Hi!! I’m 26f looking to move to Golden in the spring for a job at Anschutz Hospital or St Joseph’s. Is it realistic to think I can commute (and be on time for work!) 3 days a week? It would mostly be night shifts 7pm-7am. I’m not a city person so I really want to live IN the mountains rather than just looking at a mountain :)

Concerned about traffic and rumors of road closures due to snow? Maybe 3 days of traffic would make living in such a beautiful place worth it?

Also, are there many young professionals for friendship and dating in Golden? I’m an outdoorsy gal and love to go to the gym. Not a skier. I don’t want to be super isolated.

I just returned from a 4 day visit to Denver, CO Springs, and Golden. Golden was amazing (I know it’s very expensive).

Thanks for the help!!

Well they were only open since May, I believe, and they have already temporarily closed, maybe for good. I hate seeing businesses fail, but they were so overproced, a $7 single taco was pretty steep. I am thinking that was why they lost business and closed. Hopefully they will rethink their concept and reopen somehow, it's literally 1 block from my house and it's nice to have something so close.
Anyone know what happened?

Can anyone tell me anything about the woman who walked across c470? This was my best childhood friend. I don't know what happened.

Hey everyone! I’ve found some groups that meet in places like Denver and Lakewood, but I haven’t come across any in Golden. Does anyone know of any board game groups that meet in Golden? Would love to join if they exist! Thanks!

Hey all,

I’m looking at places to live in south Golden, and Ive been wondering about how disruptive the Martin Marietta mine is to folks living over there. Particularly in the apartments near the Red Rocks Hotel or in the Heritage Dells neighborhood.

I’ve seen the lights from the Apex trails at night and they seem exceedingly bright. The truck traffic and general dust produced by the min during the day is also a major turn off. People that live in the Heritage Dells area - how much do these things impact you? Do mining operations stop during the winter months, or is it a year round thing?

River Surfing

Hello all,

I heard rumor that their are some places you can river Surf in Golden area. I am curious if anyone knows more about this or can point me in the right direction to get started thank you! If there are in other spots in the area feel free to point them out as well!

Dear Golden community,

I'm a guy in my early thirties, planning to move from Europe to Golden this fall to live with my husband.

I'm very excited to be close to world class nature and a cool city like Denver at the same time.

We like hiking and hipster coffee, so I think we have a good chance to fit there :)

What would be your tips to meet new friends in Golden?

My boy is 9 but very spry and active. He’s lacking on the friends in Golden though and I would love for him to have some dog on dog socializing. He very much has the Australian cattle dog play style of wrestlemania and zoomies. I do avoid dog parks as he can be selective about who/ how he plays with. He’s also completely up to date on all shots. If you’re interested in a meet in greet with your cattle dog please message me!

Are they taking down the sign because this is no longer where the West lives?

It’s a joke. They are not taking it a down, just refurbishing it.

I saw that the courts opened up last week and wondering if there is a reliable time to show up for drop in. I know there needs to be a critical mass of people to make it work.

Alternately, if anyone is looking for a singles or doubles partner, I don’t have a partner. Thanks!
