National Sport Launch-West Model Rocket show
National Sport Launch-West is the model rocket event you may not know about but one you should make plans to attend over the upcoming Memorial Day weekend.
It’s quite the spectacle with giant model rockets being launched in the San Luis Valley’s high elevation and with a waiver from the FAA to fly as high as 52,000 feet above ground.Directions from Alamosa to National Sport Launch-West site near Capulin:
Drive South on Highway 285 for three miles. Turn Right/West on CO-370 aka County Road 10. Follow 370 for 10 miles to CO-368. Turn left/south. Follow 368 for 2 miles to the 12 Road. Turn right/west. Go one mile to the 9 Road. Turn left/south. Go one mile to the entry gate. If you miss CO-370 in Step A above, keep going south to County Road 12. Turn Right/West. Follow 12 all the way to the 9 Road in step D above. This route has fewer turns, but more dirt.
