Finding Peace in the Mountains: A Winter Journey to The Great Stupa in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado

Just a short scenic drive from the heart of Red Feather Lakes village lies one of Colorado’s most breathtaking hidden gems: The Great Stupa of Dharmakaya at Drala Mountain Center.

While stunning in the summer wildflowers, there is a special, hushed magic to visiting in the winter. We took a trip up there early this year, and the experience was nothing short of a true mountain sanctuary for the soul.
