name of presdential nuclear retreat mountain in colorado?

a buddy of mine were discussing the aftermath of a nuclear attack and we were talking of a secure location where the president would be moved to and we remembered this mountain which i believe was to be in the colorado region, however, it may be elsewhere..

its been bugging me all night-does anyone know the name of this bunker where the president and co would be tranported to in case of a nuclear emergency?

Maybe you're thinking of Cheyenne Mountain . The home of NORAD, it's a virtual city carved into a mountain near Colorado Springs.

Not sure if it's what you're thinking of, but a pretty cool place nonetheless.

Isn't it Mt Cheyenne, the central command for all american and candian airspace, built into a mountain, able to withstand a direct nuke hit, has very big coiled springs to make it bouncy?

thanks for the quick replies fellas, unfortunatly it isnt ringing any bellls..

maybe im thinking of another mountain, perhaps in north dakota?any ideas?

I doubt they would move him there, who desont know about the place? My bets he will be moved to a location that none of us know about.

Maybe you're thinking of Mt. Weather, FEMAs headquarters in Virginia. Its almost 50 miles away from DC. Its an uderground city carved into a mountain. It has its own water system, mass transit system, and is where the president would go if there was nuclear war or martial law was declared. It even has a second president and vice president if needed.

Hope this helps

There are quite a few of these around the nation. There is Cheyenne Mt in Colorado, There is one in Nebraska if I am not mistaken, because if I remember correctly it is where air force one went on sept 11, there is Mt. Weather VA, Site R where Dick was hiding on 9/11 in PA, there is one being built in the Napa Valley in CA, and rumored many others scattered through the country

I bet you are thinking of US Startegic Command's Global Operations Center at Offut AFB. Nebraska. This superhardened bunker, was design to survive a nucler attack. Here's a link: STRATCOM Global Op's Center.

Hope that helps!
