Through partnerships with conservation agencies, our work extends the environmental health beyond our 600 acres. For example, firefighters were able to establish a containment line against the Cameron Peak Fire on land that DMC treated in 2018 during Phase I of a 3-phase conservation forestry project. In the video below, Mac McGoldrick, DMC’s director of built and natural environments, describes the eco-forestry and conservation work at DMC in collaboration with our partners. Thank you Fort Collins Conservation District for this beautiful video! Learn more about our eco-forestry work.   What is Drala Mountain Center?

Our accommodations range from fine lodge rooms with private baths to shared same-gender dormitories and economically-priced seasonal tents on wooded hillsides. Meals, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, are included in lodging. This is a place where many wisdom traditions are hosted, and we welcome all people inspired to explore the nature of self and society. Join us and enjoy our beautiful location and warm hospitality.     Our COVID Policy Currently we require overnight guests to provide proof of a negative antigen test taken within 24 hours of arrival, and to bring sufficient tests to test daily during the stay.
