“For within your flesh, deep within the center of your being, is the undaunted, waiting, longing, all-knowing. Is the ready, able, perfect. Within you, waiting its turn to emerge, piece by piece, with the dawn of every former test of trial and blackness, is the next unfolding, the great unfurling of wings, the re-forged backbone of a true child of light.”
― Jennifer DeLucy
Mt. Goliath Natural Area, Colorado
Mount Goliath is a peak high on the shoulders of Mount Evans located outside of Idaho Springs within the Arapaho National Forest. Here in this fragile alpine environment Denver Botanic Gardens oversees the highest cultivated garden in the U.S., managed in conjunction with the U.S. Forest Service. Visitors can enjoy the garden, the Dos Chappell Nature Center and/or hike the M. Walter Pesman Trail. Amid grand mountain vistas, the 1.5 mile (one way) Pesman trail winds through subalpine and alpine areas of wildflowers and bristlecone pines.
