Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church

Reviewed By jaynelld - New Orleans, United States

We attended Mass here while visiting Estes Park. It is a beautiful little mountain church with a very large congregation and/or many visitors. Plan to arrive about 20 minutes early to get a seat for Mass. The priest gave a wonderful homily. The church and grounds are lovely.
