13,500 feet according to their very interesting site at: http://www.springsgov.com/Page.asp?NavID=389 They've even had Concorde operating five flights there in 1985 so I'm sure Southwest would do well with their 737's even though the airport is 6100+ feet in elevation. And maybe some folks didn't know this but Western Pacific built a beautiful res center on the west side of Colorado Springs very close to the Garden of the Gods but never occupied it because they went bust first. Cheap Tickets bought the facility and has a major res center there - it's beautiful.
