Lake: Pueblo Reservoir
Quickest route from C/S to Pueblo Reservoir Noth Shore??
Post By: JKaboom      Posted: 7/16/2012 11:01:01 PM     Points: 922    
So last time I went to Pueblo Reservoir North shore we took I-25 to Hwy 50 then in on McCullah

I was wondering if it would be quicker to take Hwy 115 down to Hwy 50 this next time when we go on Saturday.

Not that I am in a big rush but just want most efficient route from C/S.

Its 50 miles going I-25 to 50 and 1 hour drive and taking 115 to 50 is 65 miles and takes 1hr 20min

You can also take Exit 108 (Purcell BLVD) to Pueblo West, that's the route I take. It'll save you in gasif nothing else, gets you to a slower speed limit, a few miles shorter, and bypass quite a few stop lights.

JKaboom,
ReceationFisher is right, take the Purcell cutoff its much easier and I think faster just cause you bypass all the traffic on 50, no traffic lights at all.

Tight Lines

If going from the Springs definetely take the Purcell Exit (by Beacon Hill speed way) as that cuts off about 20 minutes in travel time. No traffic lights but the speed limit is only 45mph through there. Be sure not to speed as i have seen a car pulled over on Purcell each of the past 3 weekends I was down there.
