Hi all,

We're doing a FULL DAY loop in/through and around Golden, CO. CLICK HERE (http://bit.ly/xnk9BI) for route!

This will be an urban/front range walk starting from central Golden, winding South through neighborhoods, cutting the foothills back North and looping back to our start. This will mostly be residential paved streets, sidewalks with some greenways/parks.

If you have never done a walk like this or if you have concerns about whether you can do it, please don't hesitate to contact me directly - (see email below)

  • Mileage: 12.9 Miles

  • Difficulty: Mild (NOTE: All of these walks are advanced based on their length. If you have concerns about your ability, please feel free to contact me at email address below!)

  • Terrain: (Urban) Mostly paved sidewalks w/occasional gravel trail, alley and roadside. (optional grass and dirt as well)

  • Schedule: We will meet at 8:00am at Higher Grounds Coffee shop on 14th & Washington. We should be done walking no later than 4pm and an optional 'wind down' beverage/dinner at restaurant of choosing when finished.

  • Parking: This can be tricky in downtown Golden. Be sure to give yourself some extra time to park on nearby streets for free parking.

  • Weather: Will keep you posted as we get closer!

  • Breakfast & Lunch: Please plan to have breakfast before you arrive, buy something at coffee shop or bring your own with you. Mid-day Lunch Break: those who want a local dining experience we'll be stopping at/near El Tapatio (Mexican) near 6th & Jefferson County Parkway OR come with packed lunch as well. There is also a Loaf 'n Jug nearby and plenty of other food places along the way if you want to pick something up.

  • Donation: I'm always taking donations via pay pal (on my main website www.walk2connect.com ) or small donations ($3-5) at the time of the walk to cover printing/planning expenses. ; )

  • Distance considerations: Please look over public transit options or plan to have someone available to pick you up if you don't think you can go the whole way; however, you will be surprised at what your body can do! (you can always take a cab back as well). Study the route and plan to have someone find us and drop you off half way or at our lunch break.

Plan to Bring:

  • Comfortable socks & shoes (pref. NON cotton socks!)

  • Light backpack w/water and snack foods (almonds, bars, fruit)

  • Gloves, scarf, beanie (depending on weather)

  • Sunglasses & Sunscreen (and hat if you wear them)

  • Layers of clothing depending on anticipated temperature and light rain gear just in case. I would avoid big/bulky winter coats as you will warm up once we walk and its way easier to shed/store light clothing.

  • Camera

These walks are very informal and give us all unique opportunities to connect with one another, ourselves and our surroundings. Feel free to visit my website at: www.walk2connect.com (http://www.walk2connect.com/) to read testimonies from a few people who are doing this already!
