Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun
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.
