There were a lot of people out and about along Clear Creek last Friday afternoon in Golden. I saw quite a few tubers heading for the river, a number of Colorado School of Mines students comtemplating jumping into the rapids (bad idea), and many people just walking along the creek, enjoying the parklike setting. There were even a couple of kayakers fighting the rapids, as seen in the photograph on the left (no doubt true crazies).
The trail along Clear Creek goes from downtown Golden, Colorado into the foothills, and is a really pleasant walk. Close to downtown there are statues placed along the trail, such as the one in the photograph on the right. In the other direction, past the Washington Street bridge, is the Coors Brewery, which uses the water from Clear Creek to make it's beer. As I have questioned before on this blog, with all the people who use this river, does Coors treat the water before using it to make their beer? If not, perhaps that is what gives Coors its unique flavor. Yum.
