The address is: 63 Sunset Dr, Bailey CO 80421-1334 (for mapquest, GPS, etc.)
From Denver it is approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour driving. From DIA (Denver International Airport - airport code DEN) it is approximately 1.5 hours driving. Whether you are flying into Denver International Airport or driving from the Denver metro area, you want to get to C470 and take the US-285 Exit Southwest toward Fairplay. (From central Denver/Englewood take Hampden Ave/US-285 west)
NOTE: If you are flying to Colorado, you might wish to consider the Colorado Springs Airport - airport code COS if there is any significant savings in the cost of the flight plus rental car. It is approx. 40 - 50 minutes longer driving time and 14 - 43 more miles than from DIA. The scenic route is shorter but takes longer.
