Golden, Colorado.

On our last day before retuning home we had lunch in a town called Golden.  Golden  lies just north of I-70 and west of Denver at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. Situated between Lookout Mountain and the Two Table Mountains. 

It is a very pretty town with interesting buildings.

The town has a historic feel to it and it proudly incorporates its rich cultural past into many of the shops and resturantants located in the town.

Dotted throughout the town are many statues which depict a bygone era.

This weekend we saw many hot rod type cars mostly driven by baby boomers.

Located between North Table Mountain and South Table Mountain is the Coors Brewery.

As it was the 4th July weekend there were many groups taking the opportunity to flex out and enjoy happy times with friends and family.

The  cost of a beer in Golden.

Those baby boomers not driving hot rods were riding expensive (for the USA) motor cycles like this beautiful machine from the recently revived Indian Motor Cycle Company (this model retails for around $20,000 plus state tax).

Lunch was at the Golden Hotel, overlooking scenic Clear Creek and the Rocky Mountain Foothills and is located in the heart of the historic downtown Golden, Colorado.

We had a great few days with Trish and Murray (thanks guys, enjoy your forthcoming trip to the UK) in Wyoming and Colorado and it was a relaxing way to spend the 4th of July break.

Cheers Bev and Ross
