Whatever route you take to get here, you may find our construction makes it a challenge to find the front gate! So… as you are heading up County Rd 74e – Red Feather Lakes Road, here’s how to find our gate:
- We are 17.8 miles up the hill from the Forks Restaurant, about 1 mile past Boy Scout Road (CR 68C) – trip your trip odometer.
- Magic Sky Ranch is across the road – our gate is directly across from theirs.
- When the speed limit goes up from 40 MPH to 45 MPH – STOP! Our gate is just before the 45 MPH sign.
Driving to Aspen Grove from Denver (about 2.5 hours) or Cheyenne (about 1.25 hours) Take I-25 to Exit #281 (Owl Canyon Road).
- Go west on Owl Canyon Road 11 miles until it ends at Route 287.
- Owl Canyon Rd is an adventure! About 5 miles down you will come to a circle and the “To RT 287 sign.” The last 4 miles of the road is dirt road. The last mile of Owl Canyon Rd. the speed limit drops down to 35 MPH and then 25 MPH, but then ends at Route 287, which is paved and 65 MPH again!
- Turn right (north) onto Route 287.
- North on Route 287 about 3.6 miles to County Rd 74e – Red Feather Lakes Road.
- Turn left at the Forks onto County Rd 74e – Red Feather Lakes Road. (Landmarks are the Livermore Post Office and what used to be the Forks Restaurant.)
- Drive 17.8 miles. Our sign and gate are on the left hand side.
