Coal Creek Canyon is a beautifully scenic location in Colorado; nestled in the Rocky Mountain foothills amongst Golden, Boulder, Nederland and Denver. Canyonites (canyon residents) reside between roughly 5000 feet above sea level and 9000 feet. Surrounded by open space, and containing wonderful hikes -- cooler in the summers, winter wonderland in the winters -- Coal Creek Canyon is a great place to live, and is populated by great people.
