Crestone, on the lower slopes of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, offers an historic mining town with many 1880-1906 structures still in use.
Over twenty spiritual centers of diverse world religions are a few miles south and many can be visited. Two major trailheads to five fourteen thousand foot peaks and the San Isabel Wilderness are accessed through the town. The community is a national leader in alternative building and energy with an annual fair and home tours in late summer. |
