Dharma in the Rockies: The Great Stupa
It’s highway driving for the first two hours north of Denver.

Beyond the last town, at eight thousand feet, we turn right onto an all-dirt road. Valleys filled with sage and wild horses greet us, tucked amid mountains that soar.�It’s highway driving for the first two hours north of Denver.
