Recreationists can obtain and print a downrange pass online at any computer with an internet connection and a printer or at a kiosk (kiosk is currently being replaced and is non-operational).  If unable to print a pass, then an electronic copy is allowed (i.e., on smart phone).  If pass not printed, the recreationist must provide a legible hand-written paper pass and have it on their vehicle dashboard at all times.  The Fort Carson kiosk is located out front of the of Range Control Building 9550 on Wilderness Road. The PCMS kiosk is located in a shed near the main gate off highway 350.
