We're excited to welcome you to Poncha Springs, CO. About 2.5 hours from Denver (3 hours from the airport), this small town sits at the edge of the beautiful Collegiate Peaks mountain range. The "big" city of Salida, CO is a few minutes down the road located on the Gold Medal Waters of the Arkansas River. Please be aware that during this time of year there will be "leaf-peeper" traffic so plan accordingly when driving in and out of the mountains.
How's the drive you ask? Easy! While the drive will take you 2.5 + hours - the views are incredible! You'll have the opportunity to watch the leaves turn from green to gold as you drive through small mountain towns, over "passes" and through valleys that offer 360 views of 14,000 ft peaks. Relax and enjoy the Rocky Mountains.
The venue is really just a field in Poncha Springs at the corner of US HWY 50 and HWY 285. If you're headed south on 285 (likely coming from Denver) you'll turn left (west) Country Road 128 and then turn left again (north) on Halley's Ave, from there you'll see the signage. The closest address to this intersection is 10815 County Road 128, Poncha Springs, CO 81201.
