"MOUNT HOLY CROSS IS WORLD FAMOUS, in fact one of the World's Wonders. This superb natural symbol of faith is situated near Redcliff on the Ocean to Ocean Highway west of Leadville. Nowhere else in the world has the Creator engraved a religious symbol so perfect and of such great interest. Even those who are not religious cannot gaze upon this symbol embodying the nobler aspirations of mankind without a feeling of awe and reverence."
