Rampart

Hmmm. It sounds familiar. Is it along Rampart Range Road? As I recall, I went hiking around there about 12 years ago.

St Peters Dome is up off of Old Stage Rd.

Closed huh, yeah I haven't been up there since 96.... guess I won't be heading that way.

Going through some old posts and saw this one.

I go to Rampart every once in a while. I totally agree that it is much better to go early and on weekdays. I made the mistake of going there once on a Saturday afternoon with the wife. I will never make that mistake again. Between the mall ninjas and gangstas, I thought the range was about to become two-way.

As for Saint Peter's Dome, it's a shame it is closed to shooting. I live just off Old Stage Road, so it sure would be convenient. To the best of my knowledge, you can shoot within the confines of a National Forest, as long as you obey all the rules, however, there is no place in Pike National Forest to shoot inside of El Paso County. I wonder if Teller County has some places to shoot farther up Old Stage Road?

I've seen people shooting up off of Forrest Road 379 more than once and a guy that I know at work goes up there to shoot. I'm not sure its allowed but I have never seen any problems up there.

I've seen people up there this summer shooting......I go Mtn Biking up in that area, Jones Park, Cpt Jacks up that way.
