Sightseeing
Great old west and modern west town less than 20 minute drive from our studio apt...river walk with bronzes, Coors tours, great restaurants, can float the river, School of Mines, wonderful museums-try the Quilt Museum (men's quilts are a hoot) or the Golden History Museum. There is a Tourist Center. Not far out of the Golden City Center is the Golden Train Museum & up on Lookout Mountain is the awesome Buffalo Bill Museum that I talked about in its own separate listing.
