Remote work doesn’t have to be from your glum home office; work from a Golden patio & enjoy creek side walks & gourmet snack breaks between video calls
Another video call from your basement home office today? Working from home has its challenges so why not zoom into Golden? Located only 15 minutes from downtown Denver, Golden is easy to get to and is the perfect spot to set up your remote workspace for a day.
Sit on the patio of the creek side Visitor Center, at a local coffee shop, or in the patio seating along Washington Avenue or 14th Street where you can enjoy mountain views with a cup of Joe and breakfast burrito from a local cafe. Position your laptop “just so” or pick your favorite Zoom background and nobody will ever know that you’re working in a small town paradise of Golden. Don’t let the babble of gorgeous Clear Creek give you away!
When you zoom to Golden and work remotely, you make the most of remote work. In Golden, a work break means more than folding laundry or trudging into your kitchen to snack on leftovers. A zoom to Golden work break means a quick bike ride along Clear Creek, a stop i
nto a local mountaineering shop, a sunlit stroll to grab a gourmet cupcake or ice cream cone. Heck, maybe even an IPA in a beer garden. It’s the perfect way to shrug off your zoom fatigue and restore your sanity.
Here are a few favorite spots to work remotely in Golden:
Back Patio of the Golden Visitors Center – there are socially distanced tables and chairs and free WIFI from the Visitors Center, which is located at 1010 Washington Ave.
Along Washington Avenue or 14th Street – the city expanded street side café space along both Washington Avenue and 14th Street. Pick a seat and order food from a downtown Golden restaurant to enjoy while you work.
