Drive another half mile and the cemetery parking lot is on the right at 118 Arapahoe Street. From the intersection with County Road 281, signs mark the way to the cemetery.

Mountain Wilderness Memorial was established in 1987 by owners Don and Barbara Blehm. The half-acre lot slopes down from the road and has a beautiful view of the north side of Pikes Peak. Lined paths wind among the markers and in the center is a small amphitheater for services. Landscaping includes aspen and evergreen trees, wildflowers, and natural grasses. Clients can select the area where they would like their bronze plaque.
