Golden, Colorado has really impressive open space and trails. While I was there for a month for a temporary work assignment, I got to go hiking right out my door almost every day on a mesa that looks into Denver, Boulder and spans the front range of the Rockies, and is home to coyotes, deer and plenty of other wonderful wildlife smells for Bon. These bushes were so delicate and pretty that I had to get a closeup of them, with their sporadic paper circles that shimmered in the light.  Free parks, plenty of open space, well-developed trail systems – Jefferson County offers a lot to its residents. Preserving space and land is something I wish the east coast would learn to at some point.
