Crestone is a statutory town in Saguache County in Southwestern Colorado, United States. The population was 73 at the 2000 census. It is
a small village at the foot of the western slope of the Sangre de Cristo Range, in the northern part of the San Luis Valley. Crestone was a
small mining town, but little paying ore was discovered. In the 1970s, a large land development, the Baca Grande, was established to the
south and west and several hundred homes have been built.
The Crestone area, which includes the Baca Grande and Moffat, Colorado, is a spiritual and new age center with several world religions
represented, including: a Hindu temple, a Zen center, a co-ed Carmelite monastery, several Tibetan centers, and miscellaneous New Age
happenings.
Crestone is easily accessible to visitors, a National Forest Service campground is about 3/4 of a mile north of town, and other lodging is
available, including several bed and breakfasts. Activities in the area include camping, fishing, hiking, climbing, as well as spiritual
explorations.
Crestone is named for the 14,000-foot peaks that lie just east of the town: Crestone Peak and Crestone Needle. The Crestones, as they are
known collectively, in turn, took their name from the Spanish word crestón, which, according to Walter Borneman and Lyndon Lampert's
book A Climbing Guide to Colorado’s Fourteener’s, means: “the top of a cock’s comb”; “the crest of a helmet”; or, in miners’ jargon, “an
outcropping of ore”.
