#### One of the most popular rock climbing destinations in the United States is also known for its hiking, fishing and cross-country skiing opportunities.

Thrill to a day full of adventure at Eldorado Canyon State Park and explore nearly 1,500 acres (600 hectares) of forests, plains, cliffs and a creek. The most popular activity here is rock climbing, and there are more than 500 climbing routes.

Whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned climber, you will find a route tailored to your ability. Challenge your skills on cliffs that reach heights of 700 feet (215 metres) or just enjoy the sight of experienced climbers in action.

Travel through the wilderness on foot or by bicycle along its numerous trails. Follow the old wagon road up the south wall of the canyon on the Rattlesnake Gulch Trail. Go to the west end of the valley for the Eldorado Canyon Trail that winds its way up nearly 1,000 feet (305 metres) to a high ridge. The views from here are well worth the strenuous hike. For a gentle walk with great vistas, take the Fowler Trail. The first section is wheelchair accessible, and along the route you’ll see a number of wildlife interpretive signs. Most of the trails are open to mountain bikes and several routes connect to Boulder’s trail system.

Eldorado Canyon State Park is known for its excellent fly fishing conditions. Pick up your rod and see what you can catch in the creek. You can also go rafting or kayaking along many sections of the waterway.

When the snow falls, go snowshoeing or cross-country skiing along some of the trails. The park is not at a high enough elevation to receive sustained periods of heavy snowfall, so the Eldorado Canyon Trail can be hiked all year round.

You can visit Eldorado Canyon State Park during daylight hours only. There is no camping within the grounds and you are expected to leave before dusk. Expect to pay a small entry fee. On-site metered parking spaces are available, but they fill up quickly, so it’s best to arrive early in the morning.

The park is located just 10 miles (16 kilometres) outside of Boulder. In half an hour you can go from abseiling a cliff face to drinking coffee in a downtown cafe.

Great place and friendly staff. Definitely the place to stay for Goldens in Golden. We stayed two nights. Food was great at the restaurant and ate there twice on the patio with the dog. Only hiccup I valeted the car and received a parking citation. Table Mountain Inn has assured me they will take care of it.

Beautiful property with plenty of stuff to do around the lodge. Rooms and common areas are clean and well kept. Quick access to the interstate and dining options. Could not have been happier with our stay. If we come back to Denver we will definitely stay here again.

The Eddy is a really cute boutique hotel in Golden. It felt tucked away in a private corner, but was also really close to Downtown Golden and other places of interest. The design of the hotel was particularly thoughtful- the rooms were somewhat small, not tiny by any means, but everything was set up to keep your room organized and it had everything you need. The sconces outside of each room were a nice touch. I really liked the coffee, tea, and water station at the end of the hall. It provided all sorts of fancy coffee drinks and hot chocolate from an automatic machine and even extra syrups to add to your drink. Also the fragrance of their in room soaps and lotions was really nice. The only thing with the room - the in unit HVAC system circa 1980 felt a little chintzy and there was definitely some noise coming from the floors above in evening - thumping and bumping from people moving around. Check in was a little confusing because the front desk looks like a restaurant host station, and is in fact, in the restaurant. It wasn’t clearly marked as hotel check in. So that was a bit confusing but the check in person was really nice and they offer you a little glass of pale ale as a welcome. Also, parking is really simple. Plenty of spaces available right outside the front door. The food and drinks at the restaurant were very good but some of the wait staff seemed a bit bothered they actually had to serve people food and drinks. Overall a great stay and I would recommend.
