Colorado Springs East (CO4) sits in Ellicott, Colorado, east of Colorado Springs. The field elevation is 6,145 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is 4,500 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts you at about 7,145 ft MSL. The airport sits high enough that density altitude will matter on warm days. Expect performance to change fast.
Runway 17R/35L is asphalt. Runway 17L/35R is gravel-dirt. Published remarks say 17R/35L has medium intensity runway lights. Call ahead about one hour prior with the airport manager if you need the lights. The remarks also say 100LL is available by appointment only. No on-field FBOs are listed. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival if you need fuel or local handling.
There are a few surface and obstacle notes that matter on a first visit. Threshold markings on 17R/35L are worn and hard to read. Runway 17L has a 5 ft berm near the threshold area. There are fences, a road, a light pole and a power line noted near the runway environment. Review the current Chart Supplement before you go. If you need clearance delivery, the published contact is Colorado Springs Approach.
