The 10 Best Sacred & Religious Sites in Colorado, United States
Colorado is home to no less than twenty-six ski resorts such as those in Vail and Breckenridge; other winter activities include snowboarding, sledding, sleigh rides, snow hiking and snowmobiling. The state is blessed with national parks, grasslands and forests where in warmer weather you can enjoy hiking, mountain biking or rock climbing. Wildlife abounds, from bears to moose and raccoons to wolverines. More interested in local history? Head for either the Ute Indian Museum or the Koshare Indian Museum, and don't miss the forts such as Fort Garland and Bent's Old Fort. For a complete change, why not take a ride in a hot air balloon from South Park Valley or Boulder and admire Colorado's picturesque landscape from above?

Attended a wedding at the Beaver Creek Chapel. The most picturesque place of worship in the Colorado mountains. This Chapel is run out of Vail, Co. and has services for 3 denominations. It is simple, quaint and just beautiful inside including a balcony and a large window behind the alter. The exterior is designed in gorgeous stone. Worth a stop!

A series of sculptures depicting the last hours of Christ's life. The Shrine is located on a mesa. Visitors walk a 1-mile path to reach it.

I had found information about Stations of the Cross through researching our trip to Southwest Colorado. This site is worth the short drive from Highway 160 out of Fort Garland on CO 159 South. It was a beautiful drive and the shrine was amazing. The art work is beyond describable, the hike is easy if you take your time to read the info at each station and includes gorgeous vistas of the San Luis Valley. The chapel is quaint and peaceful. Don’t miss the walk through the hillside where saints and martyrs’ sandstone busts and stories of their untimely deaths through Mexican history are told. Very educational. One of our favorite parts of our trip. San Luis was also celebrating Santa Ana y Santiago with a parade and other happenings in town. The San Luis people are so friendly and you gain a huge sense of community from them. What a wonderful side trip it was.
4. Fairmount Cemetery

Surprisingly, I discovered that Fairmount Cemetery is the burial site of Colorado's most notorious mass murderer, Colonel John Chivington. He was the architect of the Sand Creek Massacre where on November 29, 1864, a camp of peaceful Southern Cheyenne and Arapahoe Native Americans were massacred under his command of 675 soldiers of the US Army 1st Cavalry and Colorado militia volunteers. They slaughtered approximately 400 unarmed Natives where more than two-thirds of the victims were women, children, and tribal elders. Upon their return to Denver, they held a parade proudly displaying the body parts (politely speaking here) of their victims. I am of full European heritage and my Irish ancestors came to homestead near Brighton, Colorado around 1848. Therefore, it would not surprise me to learn that I may have had ancestors who participated in that most shameful atrocity. It seems that for those of us who have deep ancestral roots in Colorado history, that Fairmount Cemetery holds a place in our personal family memoirs.

The Potter’s House of Denver is an expansion of The Potter’s House of Dallas led by Bishop T. D. Jakes; however, the Denver campus is an independent church. Our hope for The Potter’s House of Denver is to continue the rich history of diversity that exists at The Potter’s House of Dallas. At The Potter’s House of Denver you will experience a loving environment to grow spiritually.

The pastor is on fire ...not condemning, not judgmental ...but loving, passionate, inviting. Pastor Michael is the real deal! I live this church and always can hardly wait to attend the service when we are in town. My wife and I actually have adopted this as our church and watch the sermons on you tube when we are home.
