WHAT WE OFFER!
A PLACE
Our ministry is blessed to occupy 200 acres of beautiful mountain land. There are nearly 5 miles of private trails and roads to enjoy, aspen and pine woods, rock outcroppings, incredible views of the Sangre de Cristo mountains and a variety of wildlife and flowers. Our setting lends itself amazingly to both adventures and solitude.

We can provide a cell phone lock box, a map of trails, a day pack, a portable chair, hiking poles and a backpacking stove for a hot drink or a meal on the hillside.

Remi dog optional.
EXPERIENCES
Sometimes clarity comes when we engage some things that are new, refreshing and creative. In addition to our invitation to just "spend time on the mountain" you can also engage the following:
​
-
Help us with a work project - maybe building a trial, helping to create another "quiet destination", repair a deck, cut firewood etc., etc.
-
Make a craft in our shop to take home. A wood burning, a candle holder, a wooden ring, and a knife kit are all possibilities.
-
You may choose to go on a day hike in the big mountains either on your own or with Dean and Heidi.
-
"On the Mountain" activities can include:
-
Mountain biking​
-
Archery
-
Cold tub
-
Climbing wall
-
Disc golf
-
-
There are also many nearby destinations for a day or half day off the mountain.

TIME WITH US

Dean & Heidi would look forward to some time with you if needed and/or wanted. We would love to hear your story, listen to your heart and offer our thoughts to encourage and to guide your journey.
It may involve a cup of coffee, a walk or some "table time". This is a big part of what we want the new focus of this ministry to include.
Dad (Jay) and mom (Dorothy) requested to not have their picture and bio on the site but for all who know them - they would love to spend some time with you if you visit the mountain. Their lives are a wonderful witness in so many ways. Their attitudes and wisdom continue to inspire.
