Golden is the Home Rule Municipality that is the county seat of Jefferson County, Colorado, United States. Golden lies along Clear Creek at the base of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. Founded during the Pike's Peak Gold Rush on June 16, 1859, the mining camp was originally named Golden City in honor of Thomas L. Golden. Golden City served as the capital of the provisional Territory of Jefferson from 1860 to 1861, and capital of the official Territory of Colorado from 1862 to 1867. In 1867, the territorial capital was moved about 12 miles (19 km) east to Denver City. The United States Census Bureau estimates that the city population was 18,867 in 2010.

We had an amazing time with Aaron yesterday. He was very patient with us unfit people. Very knowledgeable and was enthusiastically motivating us! We had such a blast! The hike was not too bad with a couple of stops to recoup our breathe(again for us unfit people) we were just thinking it was only going to be 1 climb, it was actually as many as we could do within the time frame to leave, we each did 3 climbs, we were 4 in the group. It was challenging but very doable and we are actually very greatfull for the experience we are now considering coming to Colorado more often to rock climb and we will definitely be taking our tours with Apex Ex from here on out. Thank you for sharing y’all passion of rock climbing, we are now growing our passion for it too.

North Table Mountain Park is a gem in Golden's backyard. Great trails for hiking and biking. Areas for rock climbing as well. On a recent hike with my dog after a recent snow, we passed cross country skiers too.
