Headed to Golden next week trying to plan some outings. Have researched the 3 hour train ride to pikes peak but came across the hike up the stairs to the falls in the same area. One over the other?
Love hearing fireworks when the state is in a stage 3 drought and most of it’s on fire and we just had three tragic deaths of wildland firefighters. If you want to respect and honor our country, don’t be a fucking idiot and set off explosives. Genuinely sickens me. End rant.
Half the state is on fire and I’m still hearing too many dummies lighting off fireworks during a fire ban. The hotline in the screen grab will be active through July 5th, and after that, violations of the fire plan can be reported through the JeffCom 911 app. Stay safe Golden!
Hi fellow locals, my family of four has been tubing on the creek a few times lately, and we all had lots of fun (even with all the rocks to the bum!). We would love to keep going but the logistics make it fairly tricky.
I’m curious how other locals who own their tubes work the logistics of this? Here’s what our setup looks like: (We have two double tubes)
- blow up tubes 90% at home
- jam inflated tubes into one car, requires keeping the car trunk open and using bungee cords to keep them in.
- drive two cars to gateway trailhead (one with humans, one with tubes)
- use hand pump to blow up the tubes the last 10%
- float down to Vanover Park
- one adult stays at Vanover Park and deflates tubes while the other adult walks back to Gateway Trailhead to get a car.
- Driver adult drives one car back to Vanover Park, picks up family members and tubes
- Whole family drives back to Gateway Trailhead to get second car
- Both cars go home
We plan to get an electric pump so we can eliminate the need to take two cars by pumping the tubes at the trailhead. Besides that, is there any unlock we’re missing to make the day easier?
this is a long shot, but my daughter was thinking July 4th and lost her GI pro (floating yellow wrist strap, in a dive housing)
if anyone finds it I can offer a reward, she is devastated a this was her camera.
It won’t respond to your call at the dog park, so you push it to the ground and HIT IT.

Disgusting and disturbing.
If you’re considering a home with Work Shop Colorado, go in with your eyes wide open. It is going to be terrible experience. They fall short of the luxury brand they claim to be.
The build experience was one thing. I’ll leave that to others.
If you buy from them, I would strongly suggest assuming you need to set aside your own warranty fund. You will need to push constantly, and be prepared to solve more on your own than you should have to on a new home. This includes things not built to code that you will be left to clean up. This includes things that never worked at closing that over a year later still don’t work.
Once the sale is done, they are gone. Warranty issues have been met with delays, deflection, half-measures, and a general unwillingness to stand behind the quality of the work. And not a small amount of problems. Not insignificant problems. Problems that should have been straightforward to address turned into a constant battle just to get basic follow-through.
I know the reaction will be, “well yeah, all builders are rough after closing.” Wrong. This is not normal builder sloppiness or the usual punch-list frustration. This has been materially worse than any builder experience I’ve heard from friends, neighbors, or anyone else I’ve talked to. The level of disregard after closing has honestly been shocking.
For the avoidance of doubt this isn’t some disgruntled outburst. It’s a genuine warning so people know what they’re getting into and what I wish someone had told me before I bought. And they have plenty of new units approaching completion and coming to the market soon around Denver and Golden.
If you’re buying from Work Shop Colorado, make sure every single thing you care about is fully addressed before closing, because once they have your money, you should assume the warranty document isn’t worth the paper it is written on. If anyone wants specifics, send me a DM and I’m happy to walk through the issues we’ve dealt with.
Hey yall I’m doubtful this will turn up anything but I lost a pair of prescription glasses with green frames and they had lenses that shaded green in the sun
Hello Golden folks,
So I notice that Golden has a lot of really hilly roads, like everywhere! I am considering relocating to Golden but I can't stop worrying about what the driving will be like in the winter. What is the true reality about driving in snow storms in Golden and surrounding areas when you need to go somewhere? I admit to being a scared winter driver so maybe Golden is not for me, but if the city is excellent at treating the roads each time that could help me feel much better about it. I do have a Subaru like most people in CO but even with AWD it's no guarantee you won't slip and slide. I don't want to have to get snow tires every years as I have no where to store them and it's a pain and it's expensive.
Would love honest thoughts from whosoever cares to share! Thanks
ps. I'm curious also how the roads are in winter when trying to get to the local hospitals. For example Hwy 6 to St. Anthony Common Spirit
Looking for recommendations for fun, lively places to watch the world cup games around Golden, Applewood, Lakewood, Wheat Ridge area?
Please and thank you!
Tragic. Wildland firefighters deserve so much more recognition, support and resources. They are heroes.
Hi! My boyfriend and I are looking to move in late August or by September 1st and the Zillow options are slim. Looking for a house or duplex that has a yard for my pup and at least 2 bedrooms. Max budget is $3k. Responsible renters with 5+ years of rental history and each have credit scores over 800. Wondering if anyone has any individual leads or potential property management websites to look at that might not be posted on Zillow. Thank you!
Hope you caught some good ones, water looked amazing today.
Hey guys,
Just wanted to make a PSA to watch your little ones while walking around. I just encountered a pretty large black bear on first and Ford.
That is all.
Darby is microchipped so the owner should have been contacted a few hours ago, but I haven't heard anything. Following up in extra channels in case someone recognizes this dog and knows the owner. Thanks!
Just a heads up! I’ve seen them posted up on other parts of Washington, but first time seeing them in this specific location.
Does anybody know how far of a hike it is to get to this spot at White Ranch Park? Never done the hike but want to take some photos for sunset and just trying to figure out how long of a hike it is to get to this specific spot. TYIA
To the people who blast their insane vehicle exhaust noise on Ford st next to the residential areas, I'm sorry about your smoll pee pee :(( 💔
Last night I was biking up the canyon around 5:30 and noticed the sprinklers at the Seventh Day Adventist church were running. Although it’s totally their right, was a little disappointed given the drought situation. On the way back ~3 hours later they were still on!!! Is this insane to anyone else?
How is the creek looking for tubing currently? I’ve got a friend coming in from out of town on July 1st and we were gonna take him tubing but I’m a bit concerned the water may be too low with the lack of snow and moisture we got over the winter. Anybody been recently or have any insight?
