Hotels & Motels

Details

The OUSA 2014 Classic Championships and Trail-O Championships will be headquartered at the M-Lazy-C Ranch, 42 miles west of Colorado Springs and five miles west of Lake George, Colorado.  [Google Map]

We also have arrangements with three hotels in the area: in Colorado Springs -- the Clarion and the Quality Inn (Choice Properties), and in Woodland Park -- the Woodland Park Country Lodge.  The split is for two reasons:

  • Friday's events are in Colorado Springs, and
  • The Woodland Park Country Lodge is booked full for Friday night with another event (this other event has been on the books for over a year).

The hotel information is:

  • Clarion Hotel & Conference Center - 314 W. Bijou Street - Colorado Springs, CO.  To get the best rate, use the special OUSA link (http://www.choicehotels.com/en/sports-travel), and enter Special Rate / Corp ID 00228560.  Rooms are available on a first come, first served basis.

  • Quality Suites Downtown - 314 W. Bijou Street - Colorado Springs, CO.  To get the best rate, use the special OUSA link (http://www.choicehotels.com/en/sports-travel), and enter Special Rate / Corp ID 00228560.  Rooms are available on a first come, first served basis.  Note:  This is the best location for folks who will be attending the OUSA convention. It's about 30-40 minutes from the hotel to Woodland Park, or one hour minutes to the meet headquarters at M Lazy C Ranch in Lake George. 

  • Woodland Park Country Lodge - Woodland Park, CO. Call 1-866-687-4466 for reservations. The hotel is sold out on Friday night, but we have held rooms for Saturday, August 9 and Sunday, August 10. Rate is $132/night for Saturday night and $122/night for Sunday night. Guests should call the hotel directly and use the word "Orienteering" to get the rate.  Any rooms unbooked by by July 9 will be returned to the inventory. However, if we sell out quickly, they will add rooms if they have them.

The M Lazy C is a working cattle and guest ranch with rustic cabins, wooded camp sites, a dining hall, and small general store.  See www.mlazyc.com.  The ranch has seven rustic cabins to rent, two bunkhouses (dorms), and RV and tent camping.
