[...] Colorado’s Mount Lindo Cross The cross is 393 feet high and 254 feet across, and can be seen from the highway and parts of the city it watches over.

I grew up in Arvada, and could see the cross from my backyard. Looking at the “Cross on the mountain” always made me feel good, if nothing more than to know that we were blessed to live there. We moved from Arvada in 1978, but I’ll never forget the Cross on the mountain.

I love this cross in Colorado. I remember the hue and cry that went up when some people wanted it taken down because it violated their civil rights. Pilots protested that it helped them navigate when flying over the Denver area. I looked for it every time I had been away from our home in Littleton, because as I drove west I could see it and think: I’m almost home with my family. I just want to say thank you for putting this cross up on the side of the mountains near a place that was our home for 28 years.

Hi Theresa,
I saw your comment on your mother’s ashes at Olinger Mount Lindo. I thought you would be interested to know that June 22, 2008 there is an event called Hike for Hospice that benefits Porter Hospice and St. Anthony Hospice. The event is at Olinger Mount Lindo and when hikers reach the top, they can release a dove in honor or memory of a loved one. You can register or find out more information at http://www.hikeforhospice.org, or call 303.715.7615. Hope to see you then! Thanks, Paige

This is one of the most spectacular and original places I have ever been. My Mother’s ashes are scattered here and I could think of no place else she would rather be. If ever in Colorado, this is a site to see. The hand made monuments at the top of the mountain are absolutely beautiful. As well as the view!!!!!!!
