Palmer Lake

Driving:
From I25 in exit County Line Road at the northern border of El Paso County. Proceed west less than two mile, then turn left on Hwy 105 (just past the RR tracks) into downtown Palmer Lake.
Public Transit:
The Airport shuttle between Colorado Springs and Denver stops at the park and ride lot in Monument. From there you'll have to get picked up by a friend. Otherwise you'll have to walk over a mile along the El Paso Trail or try to talk a cabbie into driving up from Monument just to carry you less than two miles.
