Have you heard of Crestone, Colorado? As it is a small, 141-person Statutory Town, many Coloradans have never heard of it and couldn't tell you where in the state it is located. That being said, why should you know about Crestone (or better yet, why should you visit)? It is because this small town in Colorado has some significant and surprising landmarks as well as an equally surprising nickname: the Bermuda Triangle of the West.
Welcome to the “Bermuda Triangle of the West,” AKA Crestone.
Incorporated in 1902, Crestone is a Saguache County community surrounded by the stunning San Luis Valley, making it the perfect place for... UFO sightings?
According to some, there are more UFO sightings in Crestone than there are in Roswell, New Mexico, thanks to the clear, wide-open skies with no light pollution.
Psst... While you can look for UFOs in town, we recommend venturing over to the world-famous UFO Watchtower, which is located just down the road from Crestone!
In addition to being a so-called "Bermuda Triangle," Crestone is also the "New Age Religious Capital of the World,” as the tiny community houses a surprising number of places for worship and healing.
From a Buddhist center and Mesopotamian-inspired Ziggurat (a shrine or dwelling place for the gods) to a Catholic retreat, Tibetan centers, and Academy of On, Crestone is genuinely one of the most diverse and surprising towns in the west.
The only funeral pyre (a pile of wood where corpses are burned in some traditional funeral ceremonies) in the country? Crestone has that, too!
