NOTE When getting into Crestone, GPS devices are sometimes routing through roads that are not really accessible. These are rough roads suited for 4x4 vehicles and even some of those vehicles might not make it. Please make sure, while coming from Road T, to go all the way up to Camino Baca Grande and turn right. And then stay on Camino Baca Grande to get to the Ashram.

From Denver take Highway 285 south approx. 150 miles to Highway 17 south approx 14 miles to Moffat. One block past Moffat turn left at Crestone sign onto Road T.

Follow this road for approx. 2.6 miles where it will then turn into a dirt road and continue for another .8 miles until you see the driveway for the Ashram on your left. Please make sure to use a low gear when climbing the driveway and do not stop! If you prefer to use the web or a navigational device for directions, please make sure to confirm the correct location. One of the blessings of the Ashram is it's remote and tranquil location. This, however, poses a challenge when it comes to digital navigation as our address is not registered correctly with most providers.
