Sweet docu-story. I lived in the area for several years. The book Newport in the Rockies is a brief, interesting and well-rounded history of the castle plus the relationship between Palmer and Queenie (she didn't stay very long), he and the card playing locals. It also covers the adjacent small town call Manitou and it's history involving tuberculosis retreats and the funny story of how it's reputation caught on. I highly recommend it!

People might realize that Colorado City was the first settlement in the Pikes Peak Region...and Palmer had to ask for the help of Irving Howbert to even establish the city of Colorado Springs. Irving was the Clerk of Court for the region, long before Palmer came into play. 1859 was when Colorado City was settled and it was the First Territorial Capital. See it yourself at Bancroft Park. Palmer is amazing, no doubt. But there's so much more history before that, that people don't know. Palmer had to get approval and Howbert sold his own land to Palmer so he could build the Antlers Hotel. I love Colorado History!

Back in the 80s I used to hike from GotG over the hump and sneak around the castle and hike up the canyon. There is a water fall and at one point you have to climb past the "3 bowl" which you can't do without getting wet. It's where I proposed to my wife. Input this in google maps search box: 38.9068°N 104.9027°W. It's about 600' up hill from the castle. Once you get a few hundred yards into the canyon you are no longer on Navigator property. There may be other ways to get to the canyon. There is a lot of wildlife up there.

Colorado Springs is my hometown. In the many years I lived there, we never had a chance to see Glen Eyrie. The public was not allowed in much, if ever. The castle was owned, or controlled, by a religious organization called "The Navigators." I always wanted to see the home of the city's founder. Thank you for this video, but there is ONE IMPORTANT thing missing. And that is a tour of General Palmer's house itself, i.e. the "castle." I still haven't seen it. Just why was that not included?

I lived very near to Glen Eyrie a while back - It is owned by the Navigators, a Christian organization that used to be affiliated with Billy Graham, not sure if it is anymore. However, we tried to hold a Tibetan Buddhist event here. At the time, they said it was open to all denominations, we never received a call back, not one. I called four times, and was told every time, someone would get back to us, no one ever did. They have to keep the trails open for the public but they will only let you back there during certain times. They keep a very tight reign on the trail times.

My wife and I just finished watching this documentary about William J. Palmer, (September 18, 1836 - March 13, 1909) a pacifist Quaker turned Brevet Brigadier General in the American Civil war and Medal of Honor recipient. He did not want to kill, yet believed slavery was a greater evil than war, just like the evil of abortion. Palmer went on to found the city of Colorado Springs in 1871 along with many other industrial endeavors as a civil engineer, railroad tycoon, and philanthropist.

Perhaps to add a bit more about Gen Palmer’s family. Queen’s birthday name was Mary Lincoln Mellon. After coming back with her three daughters, she/ they returned to England and she passed away at Oak Cottage, Frant, East Sussex. Gen Palmer brought her body back to be buried and his three daughters returned too. After their father’s death, with the money they’d eventually inherited, at various times, all three of them went back to England. Marjory died in 1925 in Hove, East Sussex and her body was returned to Colorado Springs. Elsie died in 1955 at The Old Rectory, Erwarton, Suffolk. Dorothy lived in Chelsea, London and passed away there in 1961 aged 80. She’d been a spinster and by far, the wealthiest of the 3, leaving an Estate valued at £259,883; an extremely large sum in those days.
