I was fortunate and granted a tour with my spur of the moment visit. I'm glad I researched online before I did visit as it made the information I received from the guides much more anecdotal and interesting. Worth visiting. When the blacktop road ends you are at the 117 acre property and in addition to the signs you'll see 2 steal post poles. To the right a dirt road decends steeply to the temple about 750 feet away. The road is in very poor condition and I don't recommend it to anything less than a 4 wheel drive. I walked it. I recommend you do too because.... To the left of the poles is another road and even though it's part of the property it should be treated as private property. Father Juan and others live here. This is the road to the Pillars. Walk it too. Ask Father Juan if its OK to visit. The Pillars are about 1000' down on your left. There is a hiking trail to and from both sites. I didn't hike it thru (because I wanted to meet Father Juan so hiked the road) but did inspect parts of it and it transverses through some beautiful forest. I found a wooden bridge (two actually) and stairs to and from the road. In 2003 a fire destroyed much and in some places only foundations remain but the forest seems to have recovered well. The whole site is very interesting with lots to see. Serene and quiet. Alive with forest sounds. Glad I visited. Highly...

ย ย ย Read moreHi, I am called Peace. I am the resident Temple troll. My boss Rev Juan wants everyone to know that the Temple and all the grounds are open to everyone. This includes the Pillars of God, the awesome energy and views of the Holy Ground. The road down to the Temple is washed out. Several cars and SUV's have flipped on it. Please just park at the top, out of the way and walk. It's a great circuit and there are a lot earth changes happening so please be careful until we can make things safe. I was just given the task of placing signs in...
