Jefferson County Open Space Rangers will be at the North Table Mountain Trailhead this morning from 8-10AM.
Stop in at the trailhead anytime between 8 and 10 a.m. to learn about the geology of North Table Mountain and the land use changes that occurred as it went from quarry to JCOS park. Then, take a leisurely hike up North Table Mountain on your own to observe the 63-65 million year old lava flows that comprise part of the mountain. The program will take place at the North Table Mountain West Trailhead at 4788 Highway 93 Golden (map). Learn more….

Golden History Moment
63 Years Ago
The October 2, 1958 Colorado Transcript included a brief article announcing that Phillip and Margaret Isley, residents of Lookout Mountain, planned to run for office. Phillip hoped to represent Colorado in the U.S. House of Representatives. Margaret was running for State representative for Jefferson County.
In explaining their platform, the Isleys declare their objectives include a declaration of peace and disarmament race, establishing a federal world government, creation of a federal peace economy planning commission and appropriation of $2,000,000,000 annually for the next 10 years for conservation of natural resources.
They didn’t win, so why was this article of interest? It mentions that the couple operated a health food store in Lakewood. That store was the first in the chain that is now known as Natural Grocers. According to the company website, the chain now includes 159 stores in 20 states!
