Shrine of the Stations of the Cross — Local services in San Luis

Visited here with my father and brother. It was a nice side trip on our way home. We drove specifically to look at his Stations of the Cross.

Information isn't obvious or easy to find for how to visit. I think you park at the visitor center across the street from the start of the trail at the bottom of the hill. I added pictures of the sign and pedestrian bridge that crosses a creek to the gate.

The stations is pretty and unique. The walkway has a rocky base and is well maintained. It wold be nice to have a few benches along the walkway. I don't recall seeing any.

I think this is a great place for a family or small...

I felt the spirit of God as i walked up the trail and read the inscriptions. I felt a palatable sense of reverence during the hike it felt very sacred. I appreciate the faith of those who built this and of those who have walked up this trail before me and I am grateful that it is...

This site is located in the oldest town in Colorado in the town of San Luis. We did not know that the Stations of the Cross were located on the side of a hill. We would have to go down a whole bunch of steps, then back up to the top of the hill to get back to our cars. I'm sure it is a beautiful experience, but being unable to walk down or up many steps, I was unable visit the stations. This is not a viable destination for anyone who might be...
