I went for a walk along the Clear Creek Trail in Golden, Colorado the other afternoon, and the fall colors were at their peak, making for great photographs. It was a very pleasant day, warm and sunny, and many others were out and about, too, enjoying the afternoon and trying to forget the coronavirus, the election, and the zombie apocalypse, among other things. Happily, there were no zombies in sight while I was there.
Clear Creek, by the way, runs right through the town, and is the water source for the Coors Brewery, located further downriver. As I have mentioned before, Golden was the first state capital of Colorado. The legislature met on the 2nd floor of a corner saloon, and that building - now housing the Capitol Grill - is actually still there. Golden is separated from the rest of the Denver area by a mesa, seen in the background of the photo on the right, which has allowed the place to keep it's small town atmosphere. A wonderful place to spend an afternoon.
