Last year there was no road clear up to Camp Tigiwon; the 
final 4£- miles having to he made on horseback or on foot. In 1929, 
however, a good automobile road almost certainly will be completed right 
to camp, Mr. F, G, Bonfils, publisher of The Denver Post, is donating 
all the funds for this road. 
Camp Tigiwon is 7j miles from Minturn, and 4j miles off the 
main automobile highway down in.the Eagle River Valley. It is 4 miles 
from camp on to the summit of Notch Mountain (directly facing the Mount 
of the Holy Cross, one mile away) where the religious services are held. 
"Tigiwon" is a Ute Indian word, meaning "Friends.” 
The camp is upon the brow of a beautiful plateau, 10,000 
feet above sea level. It has an abundance of magnificent pines and 
clear, healthful water. The view from camp over the Eagle River Valley 
to the rugged, snow-crowned Gore Range is one of the finest in Colorado. 
A substantial log postoffice has been erected there, with daily mail 
service and long distance telephone connection. There is a large cook 
tent, where excellent meals are served; and a big meeting tent (for use 
on the occasional rainy nights.) On clear nights the pilgrims gather 
about a monster campfire and sing, tell stories, listen to natural 
history lectures, and otherwise amuse themselves, The sleeping tents 
occupy a semicircle about the campfire. 
Upon arriving at camp, each pilgrim pays a registration fee 
of $1. This goes to defray part of the general expense. Sleeping tents 
may be rented for $1 per night per person. A cot and clean, warm bedding 
rent for $1 per night. Meals are 75^ each. Good, gentle saddle horses 
rent for $2 a day. When one considers the difficulty of hauling tents 
and supplies into this remote region, the charges are most reasonable. 
However, if pilgrims wish to take in their own tents, bedding 
and cooking supplies, they are perfectly at liberty to do so. Everyone 
is welcome, no matter how they come. In that case, only the $1 
registration fee is charged. There is a good commissary in Camp Tigiwon, 
at which the necessities and some of the luxuries may be purchased. 
Accommodations will be provided this year for 1,000 persons. 
If some of the pilgrims take their own camp outfits, they can be cared 
for in addition to the 1,000.

The Pilgrimage Association (recently incorporated as The 
Mount of the Holy Cross Pilgrimage, Inc.) is willing this year to rent 
all its Camp Tigiwon equipment, after the main pilgrimage is over, to 
any other organizations or groups of persons—-such as the Christian 
Endeavor society, the Epworth League, the Boy Scouts or Campfire 
Girls—-for pilgrimages of their own. The rental of the equipment 
will cost very little—-far less than these organizations themselves 
could haul it in for. 
Persons desiring to arrange for their own organizations to 
go to Camp Tigiwon for separate pilgrimages should write to Dr. 0. W.
