I saw this website and a couple weeks ago I was in Lakewood and I thought I would pay a visit here. It was an incredible cemetery and quite a drive up to. The views were just incredible. I went there on a saturday and there was no one else there. I really enjoyed visiting all the graves and staring at the views. Would be a peaceful place for a final resting spot. Definitely recommend visiting for those who enjoy unique cemeteries.

Back around 1997 or so I was in charge of building the cremation garden at the top of the mountain and made the decision to shut down the cross for a couple days so we could hook it up to permanent power (it was run by a windmill and batteries before then).
That’s when I found out just how much it means to the residents of Denver area!

The Mt. Lindo cross is so awesome! Photos do not do it justice. When I moved to Conifer, CO and saw it for the first time, I was amazed. It is so strikingly beautiful. I knew when I saw that, that I was at home. It is impossible to explain the peace the mountains give, and the cross just adds to that peaceful feeling. I pray that it will stand always. What a blessing it is to all who live there.

I lived in Colorado for 8 years as a child and this cross always drew my attention. When I came back as an adult I HAD to see it. I have never been TO Mt. Lindo but plan on making a trip there when I visit again. I have grown as a Christian and the memory of the cross as a child is a special comfort and still have the need to search for it at night when I am there and share it with my son as well. Colorado is already a most important place for me and my family and our history but the cross is definitely included when i think of “my other home”.

I hope my dear daughter can watch this beautiful mount where her ashes scattered. She loved the mountains even though she was born on a Russian plain.
I was on the cemetery yesterday and saw the most beautiful deer I’ve ever seen. What a special place!

I live in Bailey Colorado, I am lucky enough to drive by this cross twice a day, everyday. It brings a sense of comfort, especially when you have to commute 285 twice a day. Ironically, I have lived up here for 8 years and just now know the story behind it. My son asked me why it was there, so I googled it!! Interesting story!

My husband and I just came from Conifer where went to dinner, he had never seen the cross before. I, too, grew up in Arvada like a previous poster, and could see the cross from my bedroom window, plus on the numerous trips to Pine while I was growing up. Ahh, the memories!
