Presented by Erika Walker, the great granddaughter of John Brisben Walker.

Erika Walker is the co-author of Denver Mountain Parks: 100 Years of the Magnificent Dream. John Brisben Walker was a Denver civic leader who convinced Mayor Speer to create the Denver Mountain Parks system in 1910. Walker's story is that of a man of determination and will. He was a man who made and lost many fortunes. His failures never stopped him from striving to bring another dream to reality.

"The most extensive, magnificent system of parks possessed by any city in the world,” trumpeted a full-page ad in The Denver Post in 1910. It announced the vision of entrepreneur John Brisben Walker and his partners to create a system of mountain parks just west of the city.

Admission is $8/10 (m/n). Proceeds benefit the Little White Schoolhouse.
