Golden Gate Canyon State Park

Golden Gate is a preserved slice of the Rocky Mountains just a few minutes away from Denver. Rock spires stand out among rich forests and green meadows. Vistas offer outstanding views of the Continental Divide to the west. Well-marked and well-maintained trails meander down watery glens to open meadows, where settlements once stood. This refuge is rich in wildlife, from birds to bears. With 55 walk-in tent sites, your camping experience promises to be a good one.
