Music

Legendary venue with great concerts, but also open when there aren't concerts. There's hiking trails, a few cool roads past crazy rock formations, a concert venue museum thing, and a bunch of people working out up and down the venue steps during the day.

Sightseeing

3.5 Miles away is downtown Golden. A great little walkable town with an old western vibe (though modernized).

Local eclectic dive bar of sorts. A little weird. In a good way. Can attract a pretty large local crowd. In a really old stone historic building too. Have to see it to experience it. Walking distance. Tuesday night - $2 pint night Thursday night - Karaoke Saturday night - ladies night
