Parking
On street parking is available close by, west of Washington Ave in downtown Golden.
The “Public Parking” NE of the Church is free for registered church members but not for us. Lowest parking rate is $5.75 for three hours; one pays using a QR code shown on signs there. For that parking rate, it says one is supposed to park on the upper (roof top) level. When driving uphill (southwest) on 14th St, the rooftop entrance is the 2nd entrance to the parking structure, immediately before the church.
For free parking: 14th Street usually has parking within a block of the entrance to the Church.
Coming from the north (CO 93) or northeast (CO 58, between North and South Table Mountains), come southeast on Washington Street, turn right (southwest) on 13th Street, Turn left on Cheyenne St. Go up the hill and turn right on 14th Street. Park on your right.
Coming from the east or or southeast on US 6 (6th Ave.), exit US 6 onto 19th St. going NE. Turn left on Illinois St. Go through the Mines campus and turn right on 14th St. If you can, park NE of Cheyenne St.
When 14th Street is full, Mines may have scheduled an event.
There is Golden city parking southwest of downtown Golden. This is downhill from (northwest of) the Church in the half block between 13th and 12th streets, between Arapahoe St. on the SW and Miners Alley on the NE. There is usually space here. The Foss Lot (SE half of the parking area) is private and says “Paid Parking”. The public Arapahoe Lot (NW half of the parking area) says “Paid Parking 7-5” and should be free.
To get to the meeting, go up the hill along the church by Arapahoe St.
You can also find parking in the streets below (north of) the Church and west of downtown Golden.
