The exit off I-25 in Colorado Springs is the Nevada exit and also Hwy 115 to Canon City. Its about 30 miles to where Hwy 115 crosses Hwy 50. Take the ramp to the right onto Hwy 50. Then 10 miles to the Dozier Avenue light, and turn right. On your right will be the Super WalMart. Take Dozier Ave, it eventually curves to the left and becomes Central Avenue. Follow Central Ave to the first stop sign. This is the intersection of Central Ave and Field Ave. Turn right onto Field Ave and follow it North. You will pass two schools, go up across the Orchard Park mesa, then past the McComb sawmill. Next will be the "Y" where Field Ave and Red Canyon Road join. Look to the right and you will see a yellow diamond sign with a reflective green "0" below. From that point it is 9 miles to the start of the gravel "Shelf Road". Just before the gravel starts you can turn to your left...voila there you are at the Sand Banks. How do I know, well my place is about a mile North of that reflective green "0", look to the right for the house up on the bluff...the Hacienda at the Hideaway!
