Discover the Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun, a historic monument perched 1.4 miles up Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado Springs. Built between 1934 and 1937 by Spencer Penrose, this tribute to Will Rogers offers breathtaking views of the Pikes Peak Region and Eastern Plains from its 8,136-foot elevation.
Owned and operated by the El Pomar Foundation, the Shrine is accessible with Zoo admission and provides a unique experience with its chapel and interior rooms, though visitors should be prepared for unpredictable weather conditions and a short uphill walk from the parking lot.
