THE PILGRIMAGE TO THE MOUNT OF THE HOLY CROSS 
The 1929 pilgrimage to the Mount of the Holy Cross, in 
Colorado, will take place during the ten days commencing Monday, July 8. 
The pilgrims go up to Camp Tigiwon, the base camp, on Monday, the eighth, 
and get settled. The first actual trip to the Cross takes place the next 
day. That is the time of the year when the Cross appears at its "best. 
The pilgrimage is an annual, nationwide affair. It is 
strictly non-denominational, and is operated on a non-profit basis. 
Everyone, everywhere, is invited. While religious services are held every 
day on a magnificent eminence overlooking the Cross, attendance at these 
is not obligatory: everyone does just as he or she pleases. At the 1928 
pilgrimage virtually every religious denomination was represented. 
You can stay as long or as short a time as you like. Some 
persons stay the full ten days; others remain only two, three or four 
days. Parties are coming and going all the time. 
The Mount of the Holy Cross is in Eagle county, central ,, 
Colorado, in the very heart of the grandest part of the Rockies. Its 
» previous isolation kept all but a very few hardy mountain climbers from 
visiting it. This condition has now been changed, however-and is 
improving still more each year. 
The Mount (or, more properly, Camp Tigiwon) may be reached 
from Denver over the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad-a trip of 
300 miles. A rate of $14.70 for the roundtrip from Denver is granted 
for the pilgrimage, with proportionately less fare from points closer 
than Denver, One leaves Denver at 7:20 p.m. and arrives at Minturn, the 
gateway, at 8:20 the next morning. Breakfast is had at Minturn before 
starting up to camp. Returning, one can leave Camp Tigiwon about 
3 p.m., have dinner in Minturn, catch the train there at 6:30, and be in 
Denver the next morning at 7:15 o’clock. A Pullman lower berth, Denver 
to Minturn, costs $3.75; an upper berth, $3. 
Or one may go from Denver by automobile---a one-day trip of 
195 miles, over a fine highway through wonderful scenery.
