It's a short hike, but a bit steep. Fun to walk around and look at the gravestones, how old some are, how recent some were added. The views were wonderful!Full review by NicoleWilker

The hike up was difficult for me but I have asthma and I’m not used to the altitude and it was nearly 90°. There were beautiful views along the trail. The cemetery holds so much history! I enjoyed wa…Full review by r0bin49

Nice, quick stop in Glendale Springs. Short, but moderately steep hike up to the cemetery. Great views of the town on the way. We visited at dusk and took a little extra time to explore the potter…Full review by Charlyn D
How far and difficult is the walk? I walk with a cane and can't walk much but would like to see it. Thanks.

First, if you decide to make the trip, I recommend that you wait until late spring or summer. Several portions of the trail / path are shaded. During early spring and winter months, these shaded areas do not melt as fast as the sunny spots of the trail. The incline of the trail with snow can make for slippery conditions. The trail to the grave is friendly for a novice or first time hiker. I would say that about 40% is smooth and 60% madeup of 2" to 5" stones. Two reasons that you likely can make the trip: 1) There are benches along the way where you can rest. 2) The trail is quite scenic. So you will likely stop to take in the view even with a available bench. Regardless of conditions, given that you walk with a cane, I highly recommend that you avoid smooth soled shoes. Be sure to ware shoes with some light knobby tread. Its worth the trip. I hope this helps!
One person said it was a fake, but I have a book written by one of Doc Holliday's cousins, Karen Holliday Tanner that states he was buried there. Is there any other documentation that this really is the gravesite? Might be going there in a couple of weeks. Thanks

In the book The Illustrated Life & Times of Doc Holliday by Bob Boze Bell on Page 104. "What the Glenwood Springs paper didn't mention is that the winter weather prevented the hearst from making it up the steep road to Linwood Cemetery, which sits on a high mesa. Doc was buried at the foot of the mesa until he could be transferred. According to townsfolk he never was. As I mentioned before he is near by the cemetery, but probably in someone's yard along the trail to get to the Cemetery. The headstone is a tribute to Doc. It is probably best that no one knows the exact site because some fool will want to did him up. Littleton, Colorado has the same problem with Alfred Packer. However, you may want to learn about Kid Curry, his headstone is in Linwood Cemetery. The view from Linwood Cemetery is still worth the hike. Hope you go anyway & learn more about Doc Hollliday & Kid Curry.
On the Hike up there's a tree of ribbons about half way up, what's the story!

Sorry, can`t help. We were only there to celebrate my son`s wedding and staying at the Hot Springs.I don`t remember seeing them so perhaps they are a new addition?

That's my wishing tree. (It has it's own Facebook page: Annie's Wishing Tree) I started it several years ago while going through my cancer treatments. Living at the bottom of this hill I walk up there daily. I've loved that tree since I was a child always thought it was beautiful...the shape the bend the view. I would write down a wish a dream a prayer someone's name in remembrance or anything that was in my heart at the time on a piece of paper and tie it to a Ribbon and tie it to the tree...they grew and grew and grew over the years and the volunteer work I did at Children's Hospital helped with that as well because all the kids would send ribbons for me to tie to it with their wishes prayers and dreams. In April, I celebrated being one year cancer free and I like to believe that all the positive thoughts and prayers and happiness that went on to this tree had a lot to do with beating cancer after 4 1/2 years. I still hang ribbons every few weeks from the kids at children's hospital and from anyone else who sends them to me. It's very therapeutic for me to create a thing of beauty with so much love and emotions behind it. The more ribbons the happier and prettier the tree! Everyone is welcome to add as many ribbons as they would like but be respectful and please don't remove any one else's ribbons. Thank you so much for the question and I'm happy you enjoyed the tree and your hike.
