Glen Eyrie is the conference center of The Navigators, originally built by the founder of Colorado Springs, General William Palmer. The story of The Navigators’ making the original downpayment of $108,000 back in 1953 is an inspiration in itself. Since then the castle and grounds have blessed hundreds of thousands of people, providing a quiet sanctuary to hear the voice of God.
Recently, the local PBS station made a 26-minute video of the past and present of Glen Eyrie. Watch…and then visit us!
[Jesus] said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” (Mark 6.31, NIV)
He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul… (Psalm 23.2, 3, NKJV)
My first visit to Glen Eyrie was this fall during a Christian Artist Retreat. It was a beautiful, warm fall day and exactly what I needed. Such a lovely, tranquil location. We were visited by one of the Big Horn Sheep herds with a few of their babies too. I hope to return many times. Thanks for sharing the video.
