Overview
At nearly 8,000 feet above sea level, Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun serves as the final resting place for Spencer and Julie Penrose, as well as a destination to experience extraordinary architecture and sweeping vistas. Commissioned by the Penroses in 1937 and named for beloved humorist Will Rogers, who famously died in a plane crash during its construction, the Shrine is accessible through Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, which Spencer Penrose founded, and provides expansive views of Colorado Springs and the plains beyond.
