This is on the same road that encompasses the Cheyenne Mt. Zoo. If you pay for the zoo, then the shrine is free. I had no intentions of going up to it as I am not an avid Will Rogers enthusiast. Foreign people may be not be interested in the back story, BUT go just for the view! It is... More

After spending 1/2 day at the zoo we went up to the shrine. So glad we did as it is absolutely gorgeous. The song lyrics, "I can see for miles and miles" is so true of this place.
