Templed Hills Retreat Center

Woodland Park, CO 

From Colorado Springs, take Exit 141 to 24 West into Woodland Park. At the intersection of Highway 67, take a right towards Deckers.  After four miles you will see a sign on the left for Templed Hills retreat.  Follow the dirt road to a second sign and turn left and follow the road up the hill to the retreat.

You can also come in on 24 from just west of Vail, over Tennessee Pass, Through Leadville and Buena Vista.  This is a very scenic drive.  Just make sure that at Buena Vista you turn left to follow 24.  There will be a second turnoff to the left on up the road that 24 takes into Woodland Park.  Turn left at the 67 intersection and follow the above.

Air travel can be made directly into Colorado Springs from LA, Las Vegas, Reno, and most major hubs.  It is sometimes cheaper to fly into Denver...sometimes into the Springs.  Rental cars are available at both Airports.
