I was hoping for more narrative/photos or something.

I kind of feel like a victim of click-bait now.

That's pretty great, I wasn't sure if Denver had much of anything anymore. I'll have to find it

Its not much... Denver's golden age of exploring is long gone.

That's the vibe I'm getting but we're still putting in the effort. We had to go out East this past weekend to see a school. But this place looks worth the visit.
When was the Golden Age?
Also, how the hell do you put pics in this thing? Are DropBox or Imgur links acceptable?

---The Golden Age was before there was such a thing as a geo tag / hashtag feature on IG.... The amount of clout chasers that burn spots for 15 likes on a post is truly pathetic... but, it is what it is.------

There is this super crazy feature here that answers all your questions. It's like a magic 8 ball, but easier!

I too remember that time! Way back when I actually liked instagram. I was on Instagram when there were less than 1000 people, but I usually try to avoid it now.

The golden age here in Denver was about done with when I started years ago. Property values are and have been far too high...

Golden Age was before IG blew everything up - and before gentrification tore everything down. Gates, General Iron, the Eaton and Loveland sugar mills, the Globeville smelter - we lost all these spots and more in the last decade. The rooftops were looser and less supervised, drains had only the barest of access control, private security was almost nonexistent. Thankfully there's still a few things left if you know where to look and most of the good stuff (as always tbh) is hidden away outside the city.

This looks like Burnham but I can't be certain. Get it while you can, before it lights on fire again.

The "actual" golden ages? Before any of us. In Denver? Probably mid '70s to early '90s. The last good slice there? Late '90s to about 2010. If we're talking Colorado mining farther West? For 19th century stuff, first quarter of the 1900s to about 1960. For more modern hardrock mining? 1960 to about 1990.

A blast from the past!! Hope you are well, my friend! Let's go mountain exploring again someday soon, I hope to be back in Colorado by winter.

Nice find! And yes, from my short experience, it seems that Denver isn't great for exploring, unless you like drains maybe. Abandoned buildings generally get torn down or repurposed. There are still a few from what I've seen, but they are rare, and considering the homeless here, you may end up wandering into someone's spot without realizing. However, if you're willing to drive, there's definitely stuff to see in CO. The amount of ghost towns is pretty crazy, due to the silver rush a long time ago.

RIP the Trainyard, Denver PD keeps way too close an eye on it these days.

And unfortunately Denver isn't a very good place for exploring, not in the city itself at least. It really shines, however, as a fantastic jumping-off point to explore the various mines and ghost towns of the Front Range. Colorado has some of the best of those I've ever seen, they just take considerable logistical planning to successfully explore.
