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 very shortly after 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 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 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 to the East.

Next Event

Our next launch will be this Sunday September 24th.
 
NOTAM is issued and we are good to go!
 
I will be on site at 7 AM. We should be set up and ready to launch at 8AM. Our normal altitude is 7,000 AGL and we can get windows to 14,200 ft AGL. Please let me know when you arrive if you will be needing a window. We usually launch until we are out of rockets or it becomes too windy. I would say it averages out to about 2 PM. 
 

Any Vendors please let me know if you are coming and I'll help get the word out. 

As always there is no camping on site. There is usually camping available at 11 Mile, the Chapparal general store and campground, and Antero Reservoir. 
 
You can monitor the launch situation here or at Tripoli-Colorado Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/118340628179345 
 
Any last minute calls will be made Here with the Thumbs up Thumbs down.
