Located in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, elevation 8,000 feet. .Talk about a hippie haven, you will not find another town like this one. I think the term “far out” describes this place the best. Besides lots of hippies, Crestone has many Spiritual and Healing centers, Environmental activities, Human potential organizations and the annual Crestone Music Festival is held every August. Located nearby is Valley View Hot Springs, another hippie haven of it’s own!

Paonia, Colorado
This is a Hippie Haven from way back. In fact all of the hippies in Boulder that didn’t become wealthy yuppies (and some that did) are now in Paonia and have been for quite some time. Paonia is on the western slopes of Colorado. It still is an affordable place to live for hippies, unlike Boulder. We even have a person in the next town over, Hotchkiss, who is named Hippy Lereaux (quite an infamous character, a real outlaw).
Alma Colorado
Basically one blink and you have passed it. It is a great little hippie town, basically the last town in Park County just before you get to Breckinridge. The town consists of numerous Volkswagon vans, a coffee/bookstore, some used clothing stores and oh yeah – the famous South Park Saloon. Any doubts – go when they have their annual Festival in the Clouds!
