ummm. not that far. According to the GPS coordinates, it is just a few miles from where I am sitting. I believe that the property is indeed Government owned; being part of Ft Carson, but I am unsure if there is anything really to it. I know of roads leading that way and will have a look (provided that there is public access granted, which I kind of doubt).
There is a lot of fighter jet and artillery training going on (presumably not at the same time lol) in that area during the summer months.


Edit- Correction, looking at a map I just dug up, I am certain that it is part of Ft Carson and that there is no access. I have used the turn-around area at the gate for viewing with my scope (very dark skies there). I can only get within about 1.5 miles of the exact coordinates you gave. I'll still have a look if you'd like.

What you are looking at is the Air to Ground Range on Fort Carson.
