Winery at Holy Cross Abbey
Since July 2002, The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey has been attracting visitors from all over the world. Located on the pastoral and serene grounds of The Holy Cross Abbey, nestled against the spectacular backdrop of the Wet Mountains, the winery and tasting room are shining examples of what draws visitors to Cañon City and Fremont County.
The tasting room is open daily, and was voted Best Front Range Tasting Room by Colorado Vine. There is ample parking, and the beautiful tree-shaded park has picnic tables where you can enjoy your lunch and a bottle of wine. The gracious staff will guide visitors through a tasting of multi-award winning wines. The gift shop is filled with items from all over the world, as well as many items that are distinctively Colorado.
The winery is also host to an annual harvest festival. Always the last week-end of September, 2010 marks the 9th year the fest has been ongoing. Celebrating the year's grape harvest with music, food and the arts, the highlight of the festival is the crushing of the community grapes for the wildly popular Wild Cañon Harvest wine. The wine contains grapes from over fifty growers, while seventeen different varietals of grapes have now been identified as part of the blend. The wine is traditionally released the week of Thanksgiving, and has become the celebrated holiday wine of Cañon City.
This years' harvest fest will take place on Saturday, September 25th and Sunday September 26th. The Winemakers' Dinner will kick off the festivities on September 24th. Award winning wines will be paired and served with exquisite cuisine. Reservations for this event are highly recommended, as it is expected to sell out quickly.
The winery is also a wonderful place for your gift shopping, as they can now ship wine to most states. Your gifts can be taken care of from start to finish. If you can't visit the tasting room to shop, check out the winery website at abbeywinery.com.

Holy Cross Abbey as seen from above - Canon City Colorado
This was video captured by my Mavic drone of the Holy Cross Abbey Campus. This was in late September just around the Golden Hour and lighting was perfect.
This beautiful and historic building is one of my all time favorite places to visit and is located in Canon City Colorado. If you are planning a trip to the Royal Gorge you'll pass right by it on the way. Stop in for a self guided or guided tour.
SimplyGhost.com along with Colorado Para-Tech and Ghostlights hosted yet another of many events that weekend in which guest stayed at the sisters house for two nights and we all took part in paranormal investigation of the Monastery, Ullathorne Hall, the Sisters House, gym and the cemetery.
This event was the “Spirits of the Abbey” event held on the 21st and 22nd of September 2018
If you have never joined us at one of our events, you should it's always a good time and something always happens that leaves us scratching our heads. No one leaves without at least one personal experience and some pretty great memories.
Dark Side Of The Abbey Canon City, CO
---Any questions find us on fb-----So we keep showing you guys advertisements for our haunted houses. Let me tell you about them. Our first one in DARKSIDE OF THE ABBEY. It is your “traditional” one but see I don't like that word “traditional” because how many haunted houses are truly haunted? Not only haunted but have had many ghost hunters investigate the Abbey and have seen a lot of very scary things in the basement! So lets take all of the crazy ghosts and add a haunted house to it. Every year our haunted house keeps getting better, and better!!! So picture this you are standing in line in a dark hall (same hall that,well... never mind). You're in the basement waiting for your turn to enter in to the asylum. The Nurse comes and gets you to check you in. Then the security guard comes and gets you from the nurse and walks you through the sally port into the asylum. From there, you're on your own good luck!!!
Our second haunted house - Dark side of the Abbey UNPLUGGED, isn't like your normal haunted house. Its one that will mess with your mind. This haunted house is on the fourth floor same place that a monk hung himself!. You are guided into the Abbey blinded folded and walked from the first floor to the second floor and across the third floor up to the fourth floor. Then you will be brought to a set of doors! That is the time when your guide will take off your blindfold and you enter through the door as it closes behind you! Just then it all hits you, and you realize that you are standing in pitch black and you have to get off the 4th floor on your own. All your senses will be tested and lets just say it will be a shocking good time!!
Ghost hunter enthusiast: Have you ever wanted to do a ghost hunt through the Abbey? What about doing a Ghost Hunt on the day that the dead come to life? The Abbey is most active during the haunted house season (trust us, we never walk around alone) and many paranormal groups have done ghost hunts and have left with a lot of evidence. Westcliffe Paranormal and Venture Crew 121 are teaming up and putting on the first ghost hunt on Halloween!! We can only have a set number of people that can go so please if you are interested and want to go please let us know!!!!!!!!!!!
We are also looking for anyone that LOVES to scare people, people that have a high energy and get a thrill on making others pee their pants. Its the funnest volunteering you can do!!
Venture Crew 121 (branch off Boyscouts) wants to thank you all for supporting us. We also like to thank our sponsors for your help and donations. Please join us for our best haunted house year to date. We truly believe that our haunted house is the best in Fremont county!! Please share and like our page, thank you!! If you have any questions please private message us

Colorado Springs Royal Gorge
Colorado Springs Royal Gorge
If you are about to book a Colorado ski vacation this year, consider taking time out to visit Royal Gorge in Canon City near Colorado Springs, one of the jewels in the crown of Colorado.
There is so much for the visitor to do in this area it merits a hub all on its own.
With over 21 separate activities within just 360 acres, the Royal Gorge Bridge and Park is like nowhere else, so allow at least a full day to appreciate all that is on offer here.
The worlds highest suspension bridge, spans a quarter of a mile, 1,053 feet high above the Arkansas River below. Drive slowly across the wooden planks or walk if you dare, either way is a real thrill. Take time out to look at the mountains in the distance where one outline is comparable to the outline of JFK.
If you do walk across, dare to return by riding in the worlds longest single-span aerial tram at 671 meters high, with nothing but air between you and the river 359 meters below.
Another record book entry is the worlds steepest incline railway which will take you almost vertically down the steep cliffs to the riverside below, where you can look up to the bridge above, which now has the appearance of a cobweb in the sky and watch the white-water rafters scurry past towards the next set of rapids on the Arkansas River.
If the contents of your stomach from your last meal are still intact, now try the Royal Rush Skycoaster, a free fall experience from 1200 feet above the river, recognised as the scariest Skycoaster in the world, which plunges you at 50 mph towards the river.
These four activities alone should be enough to make anyone considering a ski vacation in the Denver Colorado area book an extra day or two in Colorado Springs, and children and less able adults are not left out either. Dont forget to take your camera of video camcorder with you, there's plenty to capture in this area.
Wapiti Western Wildlife Park
Wapiti Western Wildlife Park in 10 acres gives all an opportunity to see bison, mountain elk and bighorn sheep, theres a petting zoo, carousel ride, as well as the Silver Rock Railway train and covered wagon ride pulled by mules.
For meal breaks, visit the restaurants, gift shops, Plaza Theatre next to the visitor center for a 15 minute video show about the park, or visit the Rocky Entertainment Pavilion which has a rolling program of entertainment, located next to the visitor center and the water clock, one of only 3 water clocks in the world.
Elk roam freely here, and food pellets are available from the visitor center to hand feed them.
Having rested for a while, you should now be ready to do some hiking, rock climbing or cycling along the many scenic trails, and at the end of the day you can camp in the area and continue to explore this great area of Colorado.
Royal Gorge Route Railroad
Take a ride far along the foot of the gorge, clinging between the towering cliffs and the river from Cañon City nearby, on the Royal Gorge Route Railroad, Colorados only dinner train, with vista dome carriages and open air cars to take in the wildlife and breathtaking scenery on the journey of a lifetime. Gourmet lunches are available, with wine tasting, or book a murder mystery ride.
Across the way from the train depot is Dinosaur Depot, rich in the many fossils found in the area.
Visit the winery at Holy Cross Abbey to sample quality wines from locally grow grapes and take a VIP tour, and its in Cañon City where all of the white-water rafting and kayaking tours start.
I hope you agree this is a really worthwhile area to visit, not just as a beak from your ski vacation, but at any time of the year. From Denver, take the I-25 south through Colorado Springs to Pueblo, then turn west on highway 50 past Penrose and Cañon City to 3-A just past Parkdale.
