I had the privilege to map the geology of the north part of the Ft Carson base in 2002-2003. The area is very rugged, much like Glorieta, and is full of rocks. Not the best hunting grounds. I remember driving down one of the base roads in a remote area, and was ambushed by several men that were dressed like terrorists (masks, black clothing and machine guns). They thought I was part of the exercise. I explained who I was and we all had a laugh, but I nearly soiled myself!

The area north of the base is extremely rugged with a few thousand feet in elevation changes, very remote (don't get lost) and full of mountain lions. I am not trying to scare you away, but this is no walk in the park.

Hello Mike and List,

Fort Carson is a large and active military base, a lot of training there
before deployment in Iraq. I doubt they would welcome visitors. But you could try
just west of the base along 115, mostly ranch land I believe.
Also a major winter storm is expected here today. It is gray cold and light
drizzle in Denver right now, it could already be snowing there.
Sorry, I don't mean to be discouraging, but those are the facts.

When you say "Fort Carson Reservation" Is that a military base or an
Indian reservation?
