Welcome to the Buddhist Center of Steamboat Springs

Founded in 1996 by Tim Olmsted, the Buddhist Center shares the Buddha’s teachings and supports those practicing Buddhism or exploring other spiritual traditions in the Yampa Valley and beyond.

We provide a welcoming environment to explore the Dharma through meditation, teachings, study, and community.
