You may not find gold, but if you’re looking for a beautiful day trip, your prospects are good. You’ll meander along the winding curves of Coal Creek Canyon and through sweeping turns past old mines on the peak to peak scenic byway and through Golden Gate Canyon. At the end of it all, you can still find the mother lode at the Coors Brewery in Golden.
Warnings: watch for stray wildlife, water,rocks and even ice on the mountain roads; beware of sand and loose gravel along the switchbacks
