Visiting Lost Valley

There are two preferred ways to visit Lost Valley. We have free tours twice a month to see our property and find out a little bit about what we do. We also offer a 2 days/1 night (usually Wednesday/Thursday) Visitor Days once a month for those who want a slightly longer visit and a glimpse of community life through meals, an overnight, and participation in our weekly community cleaning party.

(Please check Upcoming Events for a listing of scheduled tours and Visitor Days.)

Notice: We are now in the wet winter months and that means it is off season for privately arranged visiting or volunteering. We will still offer the scheduled tours and Visitor Days as posted on the Upcoming Events calendar. However, we will not offer for visitors or volunteers to come on other days.

Free Tours

Scheduled tours start at 2 pm and are free (with an invitation to donate) to everyone. They begin at the cob kiosk near the parking lot.

Visitor Days

Visitor Days also offer free 2 pm tours, but for those staying on for the remainder: Wednesday evening dinner and activities, Thursday breakfast, cleansing and creation party, and lunch, we request a donation of $25-$75 per person or $35-$100 per family.

If you would like to come for a tour or Visitor Day overnight, please contact our Visitor Coordinator to make a reservation. Another good way to experience the community is through participating in our workshops, volunteering or interning in one of our programs. Call 541-937-3351 or check the rest of our website for more information.
