The Chapel on the Rock (officially, Saint Catherine of Siena's Chapel) is a popular tourist landmark in Allenspark, Colorado visited by thousands every year.[1] The chapel is located on the grounds of the Saint Malo Retreat Center, the Catholic retreat center for the Archdiocese of Denver,[2] near Mount Meeker. In 1999, Boulder County designated the chapel as a historic site.[3]

Pope John Paul II prayed at the chapel during his visit to Denver for World Youth Day in 1993. Afterwards, the chapel received his personal blessing.[1] The Pope later hiked in the surrounding woods and spent some time at the Saint Malo Retreat Center.[4]
