Travel & Accommodations

Welcome to the Mile High City! While Denver is famous for sitting one mile above sea level, Golden is even higher. If you're visiting from a lower elevation, give yourself some time to adjust by staying hydrated, wearing sunscreen, and taking it easy your first day. And if you're celebrating with a drink (or two!), keep in mind that alcohol tends to hit a little harder at altitude. We want you feeling your best all weekend long!

Travel Note

Getting Around

Downtown Golden is very walkable - especially Washington Ave, where you’ll find restaurants, coffee shops, and the Clear Creek trail. For longer adventures or heading into Denver, rental cars and rideshares (Uber/Lyft) are widely available. If you have some extra time, we definitely recommend getting out and exploring! Enjoy a hike in the nearby foothills, take a relaxing walk along a local creek or trail, or head into the city for shopping, dining, and live music. There’s no shortage of things to do! Be sure to check out our ‘Things to Do’ page for more local favorites.
