Crestone Artists Tour Directions

Crestone is located in the beautiful San Luis Valley only 3.5 hours from Denver and 3 hours from Santa Fe. Framed by the stunning 14,000-foot Sangre De Cristo mountains to the east and the San Juans to the west, with a scenic valley between them, you’ll find a place like nowhere else in Colorado.

To get to Crestone from Boulder/Denver and areas north: use google maps to get to highway 285 south past Salida to highway 17 south (to Great Sand Dunes). On highway 17, just after the town of Moffat, look for a small green sign that says “Crestone”; turn left (east) onto County Road T. Drive Road T until you pass the Baptist church. At the big white “Baca Grande” sign on your right, Camino Baca Grande is immediately on your right and straight ahead is a Kiosk pull off (a good place to get oriented and enjoy the view). From this area you will clearly see signs and flags directing you to the various studios open over the weekend.

From Albuquerque/Alamosa/Taos, use Mapquest to get to highway 17. Take highway 17 north, past Alamosa. Just before the town of Moffat, at the deserted octagonal building, turn right (east) onto Country Road T, toward Crestone. Follow directions above.
