“There are so many outdoor opportunities right off campus! 有很多徒步旅行的小径, 清晰的小溪 floats and climbing opportunities a small walk from campus!”

“Tubing on 清晰的小溪 should be a required excursion for every Mines student! Nothing feels better than the cool water on a hot summer day.”

“Chill at the Stratton Commons, hike up South Table or go for a 抬高 晴朗的日子里的瞭望山. A sunny day spent inside is a day wasted.”

“There are so many hikes in 金! The trailhead to South Table is even walking distance from campus! Downtown 金 is also full of 餐厅, coffee shops and breweries that are so much fun to go to with friends!”

“While living in 金, I have gotten into hiking a lot more. There are a ton of places to see, and some are a short drive from campus. In the summer, swimming in 清晰的小溪 is so much fun. You can even rent a tube and float down it. There are also a lot of places to go rock climbing around here, which is a good way to stay in shape and keep busy.”

“Downtown 金 is a beautiful little 城市 that has a lot to offer. Whether you want to get some pizza at Woody’s Wood Fired Pizza or just enjoy the scenery at 清晰的小溪, 这里有适合每个人的东西. I personally enjoy just walking down 华盛顿大街 and enjoying the nice architecture and grabbing a bite at 狼吞虎咽的 和几个朋友一起吃三明治.”

“金色太棒了。! One of the main reasons I came to ag亚游app网站 was because I loved the surrounding area so much. Whether it’s hiking south table with friends, floating down 清晰的小溪 in the summer, 沿着华盛顿逛商店, grabbing ice cream from 金 Sweets or figuring out which of the local cafés is your favorite, 金 provides a scenic mountain town experience every day.”

“There are so many things to do in 金! 我最喜欢的附近徒步旅行是, 当然, South Table—it has such a wonderful view, and my fastest time to get up was around 20 minutes (yes, I time myself whenever I make the hike). 我也喜欢市中心的戈尔登, which is filled with wonderful 餐厅 like Sherpa House, 金色的泰国, 布法罗的玫瑰, 胡迪和斯内夫! There are also so many cute stores for thrifting, antiquing and getting super cool stickers! I also like to walk down to 清晰的小溪 and sit by the water whole reading a book (when there’s no snow, 当然). This is even better in the fall during the Saturday farmer’s markets where I’ll always get some fresh fruit or a burrito!”

“Downtown 金 is just a short walk away. There are many shops and 餐厅 that draw tourists and locals alike. Woody’s Wood Fired Pizza may be the most popular restaurant in 金. They offer an excellent variety of pizzas, pastas and sandwiches. Otherwise, there are many other places to go locally. About 10 minutes away are the Colorado Mills which includes a mall, lots of 餐厅 and stores such as Target and Dick’s Sporting Goods. If you want to go to downtown Denver, it is only about a 25-minute drive.”
