THE WONDERFUL MOUNT OF THE HOLY CROSS 
Before the white man penetrated the wilds of the Rocky Mountains the red man saw the sacred emblem of Christian 
faith lifted high upon one of the loftiest peaks of Central Colorado. Two canons of great depth, filled with eternal 
snows, form this holy symbol, which is raised against the heavens like a mighty banner. Its sublimity could not 
be overdrawn, for it is one of the most wonderful spectacles human eyes have ever gazed upon.
