Tours

“Inspired” is the word we most often hear from visitors who tour Sage Mountain Center. Whether you want tangible ideas for building your own place, updates on off-grid living, or just need a break from the pressure of conventional society, we offer you a fun and educational solution.

Sage Mountain Center facilities tours include off-grid solar electricity, lithium ion battery storage, solar hot water, wind generation, organic gardens, a large labyrinth, dry (composting) toilets, off-grid EV car charging, all-season greenhouse, and straw bale/cordwood building technologies. All are laid out in an environment designed to nurture the spirit.

Sage Wall and Trail hikes are by reservations ONLY. The moderate 2-mile trail system features spectacular views, safe and well-marked paths, 300’ elevation gain, the Boulder Batholith and mysterious Sage Wall. See our Trail Map. | OUR 2024 SEASON IS CURRENTLY OVER FOR SAGE WALL / TRAILS, SO CHECK BACK WITH US AROUND APRIL, 2025!
