Golden Gardens

Hike of the Week

When it's too frosty up above, head to this gem

Was it desperation or inspiration that drew me to Golden Gardens on this cold day in February? Truth is, there are times that even hard-core hikers consider abandoning the mountains for safer territory. With wind-chill factors down to subzero temperatures and mountain snow the consistency of porcelain, this seemed a good opportunity to rediscover the magic of Golden Gardens, one of my favorite city parks.
