Golden Gate Canyon Road - By GJRonK

What a fun road! So many twisties--they just keep coming. Perhaps Colorado's 'Dragon'. Of course, now (in the fall) the leaves are changing, so it's colorful to boot. If you are visiting, going back to I-70 or Golden makes a wonderful loop. You'll pass through Black Hawk and can go through Central City for some remains of old mining towns. Mostly now, unfortunately, both towns are more into gambling spots, but you still see mountains of trees and valleys dropping off to the sides.
