Not too far. This trail is much more demanding: 5800' at trailhead, 7300' at Buffalo Bill's grave. That's a 1500' gain in altitude over about 3 & 1/2 miles. Start in high plains & then ascend to montane. Nice view of Golden at top.

Food Scene
Like Chipotle, but better: more options for both food & drinks. It's a 15 min walk from here: no need to drive & worry about having too much. Good selection of reasonably priced beer, $4.50 Margaritas from 3-8 daily, free chips & salsa when ordered from bar, friendly staff & customers.
