Our Lady of the Rockies Statue (elevation over 8,000 feet) on top of the Continental Divide overlooks a series of mountain ranges and valleys traveled by early day Indians and Explorers Lewis and Clark, followed by pioneers that homesteaded cattle ranches and miners who dug the rich ores - behind each of these noble endeavors were women.
Our Lady of the Rockies and an adjoining interfaith chapel are a tribute and honor to all women of every creed and nationality and are a symbol that expresses thanksgiving for the loving memories and actions of women, Our Lady of the Rockies was built by volunteer labor and financial contributions.
