Description
Chapel On The Rock near Allenspark, Colorado. The Chapel on the Rock (officially, Saint Catherine of Siena Chapel) in Allenspark, Colorado was built in 1935. Building on a large granite rock turned out to be a smart thing. In September, 2013 a mudslide brought a lot of debris down the valley towards the chapel. Fortunately being built on such a strong foundation the chapel was unharmed although the lone pine is now gone and the little stream was altered.
The chapel is located on the grounds of the Saint Malo Retreat Center, the retreat center for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Denver (the last I heard the retreat center is closed indefinetely due to damage from the mudslide). Because of this it is sometimes incorrectly called Saint Malo Church or Chapel. In the background is Mount Meeker.
