San Isabel Mtns (Spanish Peaks) and Lathrop State Park


 The above two pictures are of a Catholic Shrine located on Hwy 12 in Walsenberg.  From what we were told, the shrine has been there for over 50 years.  People place statues of Mary, Jesus, the Pope, etc. and tie ribbons, and other miscellaneous items to the fencing to pay their respect.
