Penitente Canyon
Penitente Canyon is the site of rich geological and cultural history. Part of the La Garita Caldera, the unusual rock formations and hoodoos in the canyon have become a premier rock-climbing destination. The canyon was originally used as a place of worship for the Brothers Penitente and the painted image of the Virgin Mary high on one of the walls is evidence of their devotion.
