The Spirit of Praise Mountain
For more than thirty years, Praise Mountain has been a place set apart for prayer, reflection, fasting, worship, and spiritual renewal.
Guests come from many different churches and walks of life, united by a shared desire to step away from the ordinary and make space to encounter God.
The spiritual practice of fasting has long been part of the spiritual heritage of the mountain. Each guest is encouraged to engage this practice according to their own convictions, traditions, and physical needs, in ways that deepen their attentiveness to God.
As you spend time on the mountain, we simply ask that you help preserve the quiet and peaceful atmosphere that has blessed generations of those who have come seeking God by approaching your stay with openness, expectation, and grace.
Your Time on the Property
Guests are welcome to enjoy:
- Walking trails
- Prayer caves
- The chapel
- Forest and meadow spaces
- Quiet places for prayer and reflection
The cabins are intentionally spaced throughout the property to provide privacy and solitude. We simply ask that you respect the quiet of neighboring guests during your stay.
Wildlife & Mountain Conditions
Praise Mountain is located at nearly 9,000 feet in the Colorado mountains.
Wildlife is a regular part of life here. During your stay, you may see deer, elk, foxes, coyotes, ground squirrels, hawks, pronghorn antelope, moose, and many other native species. Bears also occasionally pass through the property. Feel free to say hello to our resident llamas and alpacas.
Mountain weather can change quickly. Even during the summer months, mornings and evenings may be cool, so we recommend bringing layers.
Staying Connected
Cell service is limited throughout the property and varies by location and carrier. Many guests appreciate the opportunity to step away from constant connectivity and embrace the gift of quiet.
Supporting the Ministry
Praise Mountain is a nonprofit ministry supported entirely through the generosity of those who stay here and those who believe in its mission. While the suggested donation is $35 per night, each guest is welcome to give according to their circumstances and desire to support the ministry.
Donations may be made securely online before or during your stay, or by cash or check in the donation box located in your cabin.
