Serving
as the gateway to the Rocky Mountains, Golden also has many hiking
trails, ranging from easy hikes along historic Clear Creek to challenging
treks into the foothills. Golden is the home of the American Mountaineering
Center and the Colorado Mountain Club, and boasts a world-class kayak
course and parasailing from the top of Mt. Zion. And all of these
opportunities are within walking distance of the Colorado School of
Mines.

-- mountain climbing, hiking, biking, kayaking, canoeing, and a host
of others. Feel free to visit the many available websites to learn
