Paonia, Colorado
This is a Hippie Haven from way back. In fact all of the hippies in Boulder that didn’t become wealthy yuppies (and some that did) are now in Paonia and have been for quite some time. Paonia is on the western slopes of Colorado. It still is an affordable place to live for hippies, unlike Boulder. We even have a person in the next town over, Hotchkiss, who is named Hippy Lereaux (quite an infamous character, a real outlaw).
Santa Cruz, California
I’m not sure there is really a large population of hippies IN Santa Cruz–it’s kind of a melting pot of all types of people–but if you’re looking for some really beautiful scenery, kind people, and totally peaceful chillin’, head to one of the towns a little bit north of Santa Cruz.

It’s one of the prettiest areas you can imagine…head there on your travels. You won’t be sorry!

I mean, how many places can you go where both… Continue reading
Delta Junction, Alaska
According to a contributor Delta Junction, Alaska is the “highest per capita weed smokin’ community – about 85% of the town here does!”
Flagstaff, Arizona
Home to the University of Arizona, Flagstaff. A large community or family of hippies came here for the diversity of “the kind” and other “party favors.” With the San Francisco Peaks and Sedona only twenty minutes away the opportunities for adventure are endless.
