How to find us

Directions

If you are coming from the East  (from Colorado Springs):

  • Take Highway 24 west-bound from Colorado Springs.
  • Turn left (south) onto County Road 23. This turnoff is located approximately 15.5 miles west of Lake George. The turnoff is at the sign (on the left side of the road) for the Chaparral Store.
  • Go about 2.8 miles south on Highway 23 until you reach the "T" in the road
  • Turn right onto County Road 59.
  • Go approximately 5.5 miles west, past Chaparral store and the ranch house, until you reach the gate to the gravel pit and launch site on your right (North side of the road).

If you are coming from the West  (from Fairplay/Hartsel via Highway 285):

  • After passing through Hartsel (don't blink!), immediately turn right/south onto Highway 9
  • Immediately turn left/east onto County Road 59.
  • Drive approximately 5.3 miles east. The gate to the gravel pit and launch site will be on your left (North side of the road).

Important: Please do not approach the launch site from Elkhorn Road (CR 15) off of Highway 24. This is a private road and the gate will likely be locked. Instead, please take CR 59 from Hartsel to the West or CR 23 to CR 59 from the East.

Important: Please do not speed when passing the ranch east of the launch site on CR59! The ranch is home to our land owners, who deserve our respect for their property and safety.

Next Event

Many thanks to all the folks who helped put up and take down equipment on Sunday morning. As predicted, the winds picked up and a red flag fire warning was issued so we had to shut down launches early  We did get four perfect launches off, including two sucessful L1cert flights before the range was closed  around 10 AM.

Our next launch (weather permitting and assuming no red flag conditions) will be on May 18. I will update the website and launch status as we get closer to the launch dates.

Our standing wavier is up to 7,000 ft. AGL but our waiver can be extended to 14, 200 ft. AGL. Please let me know if you are planning on going high when you arrive so I can call in the launch window. We generally launch from 8AM until around 2PM or until the wind picks up. As always, please check the website for any last minute changes or cancellations before heading to Hartsel..
