Can You Visit the Cheyenne Mountain Complex?

Maybe—limited, controlled access only.

• Primary mission: NORAD/USNORTHCOM alternate command center; missile warning, space surveillance. Deep inside Cheyenne Mountain (Colorado Springs).
• Public tours: **Not routinely offered.** High security (blast doors, 2,000 ft granite cover).
• Exceptions: Rare community events, VIP/dignitary visits, educational partnerships (e.g., Space Foundation, USAFA).
• Contact: Peterson Space Force Base Public Affairs or NORAD Public Affairs for current policy.
