This is a 65-70 minute trip from the airport itself to Delos.
Phone: 719-481-6542. Note that cell phones sometimes work and sometimes don't while driving these roads.
Here is a map that starts 80% of the way through your trip.
___ Head out of the airport, follow signs to 'Airport Exit'
___ Pass 'Rental Car Return' on right (presuming you are coming from
the United side of the airport)
___ Pass 'Gas Service Plaza' on right (again, from United side)
The next interchange has two exits; don't be fooled and
accidentally get on 'Tollway North'!
___ Turn right at second exit (#6A) -- 'Tollway South'
___ Note Mile Marker 27 (MM27) on right after a bit -- we'll
use mile markers (MM) for reference for a while; of course you'll
have to do your own interpolation.
___ MM22.55: Pay toll
___ MM20.4 : Cross I-70
___ MM15.5 : Pay toll
___ MM 6.7 : Note sign: 'Parker Road 1 mile'
___ MM 5.7 : Exit right at 'Parker Road' exit
___ Stay on left side of multi-lane exit road
___ Encounter stoplight at 'Parker Road'/83
___ NOTE YOUR MILEAGE RIGHT NOW -- all future mileages shown in the
left column are deltas from this mileage
___ 0.0 Left onto 'Parker Road'/Highway 83
Now, it's all very easy for a long time -- just stay on Hwy 83
until directed to turn, a total of just over 38 miles.
___ 0.4 Note stoplight; continue
___ 0.8 Note stoplight; continue
___ 1.4 Note stoplight; continue
___ 2.1 Note stoplight; continue
___ 2.6 Note stoplight; continue
___ 3.3 Note stoplight; continue
___ 4.5 Note stoplight; continue
___ 5.0 Note stoplight; continue

Also, police patrol the 35 mph area near here
___ 7.0 Note stoplight; continue
___ 8.2 Note stoplight; continue
___ 8.5 Note stoplight; continue -- Parker is about done by now
___ 11.7 Note stoplight; continue
Enjoy the countryside for almost 20 miles
___ 32.5 Cross 'Palmer Divide' Road; enter El Paso county. This road
is usually referred to as 'County Line' Road.
___ 34.6 Cross Highway 105
___ 36.8 Cross Hodgen Road
___ 37.3 Note Arena Road on right
--> GET READY TO SLOW DOWN CUZ NEXT TURN IS HARD TO SEE
--> This is where the map starts
___ 38.08 Turn right onto 'Stage Coach Road' -- you can't see the sign
until you're almost ready to turn; this is 0.78 miles from Arena
Road. Watch the sign emerge from behind the trees. Follow Stage
Coach Road to its end, a "T" intersection.
If you miss Stage Coach Road, continue to 'Old North Gate
Road', which is another 0.8 (?) mile (the forest 'ends'
there) -- very easy to turn right -- then just follow the
instructions below without using the mileage references
and ignoring the notion 'first mailbox'; find Stage Coach
Road and then look for the mailbox.
___ 39.33 Turn right onto 'Roller Coaster Road'
___ 39.48 Turn right into first driveway; it is signed by a small marker
that says '15235' vertically
___ 39.6 Park in parking lot -- you're at Delos!
