Olinger Mount Lindo offers amazing views of downtown Denver and the foothills.
Each year, Hike for Hospice, a fundraiser for Porter Hospice and St. Anthony Hospice is held at Olinger Mount Lindo. For more than twenty years, these hospice programs have helped thousands of people through their end-of-life journey, giving them comfort and peace at a time when they need it most.
All funds raised from Hike for Hospice go directly back into our hospice programs to provide assistance for patients and their families including: chaplain and bereavement support, integrative therapies, services at the 18-bed residential Johnson Center; and palliative care for children through the Butterfly Program.
This year, the event will be held Sunday, June 22, 2008.
Hikers enjoy beautiful views as they climb to 7,600 feet to the top of Olinger Mount Lindo, home of the illuminated cross. Hikers can release a dove at the summit in honor or memory of a loved one while overlooking downtown Denver and the foothills. Leashed dogs are also welcome to hike.
For more information and to register, contact Kathie Repola, Executive Director for Porter Hospice and St. Anthony Hospice Foundations at (303)715-7615.
