With over 12,000 acres of thick forest, 100 miles of trails and aspen trees as far as the eye can see, is it any wonder that the Golden Gate Canyon campgrounds in Aurora, Colorado are some of the best around? The park and campground are open all year long to accommodate campers throughout the seasons.
In addition to the awe-inspiring views and plentiful trails and mountains to hike, there are also a bunch of attractions to see. You can get fly-fishing lessons, take a guided hike to Frazer Meadow, go horseback riding or participate in winter sports, like snowboarding or skiing.
“Less than 3 miles from the end of the road. The visitors center is informative and you need to stop there to pay your entrance fee ($7 per day per car if you don’t have annual state parks pass) and pick up trail maps. Even the moderate trails can be a challenge with the altitude and steep inclines. Expect to take a half day to cover a 6-8-mile hike. If you are a strong mountain biker you’ll also enjoy the multi-use trails.” – Claire, Skyscanner Review
