Getting On Base

Entering a military base for the first time may be daunting for visitors, but with a little preparation, getting on base is as easy as 1-2-3.

1.

From Interstate-25 take Exit 156 (North Gate) or Exit 150 (South Gate). This entrance is open to visitors from 5:30 am to 10:00 pm every day.

2.

When entering the gate, have all vehicle occupants’ identification ready for presentation. Valid forms of photo identification include a driver’s license or passport. Expired IDs will not be accepted. Children and teens under the age of 18 do not require identification.

Visiting foreign nationals with passports must first report to the Pass & Registration Center to obtain a pass to enter the base. The Pass & Registration Center is located outside of the South Gate at Exit 150 on the right side of the road and is open 7:30 am to 3:45 pm Monday through Friday.

3.

You may be asked to share additional information such as proof of insurance and vehicle registration. If applicable, have your car rental agreement handy. All vehicles are subject to inspection by security personnel, so we may ask you to pop your trunk. Weapons (concealed carry) and marijuana, while permitted in the community, are not authorized on the installation.
