| - Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station (CMAFS) at the Rocky Mountains' Front Range is 1 of 4 military installations in the region of Colorado Springs, Colorado (cf. Fort Carson, Peterson AFB, Schriever AFB, USAFA). Near the west of the station are the Cheyenne Mountain antenna farm on the private summit and Pike National Forest farther west (104° 52' West longitude) which has the USGS-defined Cheyenne Mountain summit. Structures outside of the nuclear bunker include the parking lots and roads, a heliport , and buildings such as a racquetball facility, the fire station (), and both the portals for the blast tunnel. A military gate limits NORAD Road usage from the Colorado State Highway 115 interchange, and perimeter signs have warnings, e.g., for state park hikers (a state park road intersects with NORAD Road). A fence with warning signs extends on the west side near the Robber's Roost summit.[1]
