Surrounded by 1.6 million acres of National Forests, Crested Butte offers endless things to do during your vacation and outdoor activities. Scenic hiking, balooning, mountain biking, rock climbing, and scenic byway drives blossom in summer months, while winter brings the most spectacular alpine skiing and snowboarding on the most double black runs in the state. Not to mention dog sledding, tubing, snowmobiling in some of the most pristine terrain in the country and ice skating. Whatever it is your heart desires, Crested Butte can satisfy your outdoor craving.
Being the number one spot in the country for mountain biking isn’t easy, but someone has to do it. From the Fat Tire Festival and the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame, to the Center for the Arts capable of seating over 2100 people, summer time brings people to Crested Butte like moths to a flame.
Whether you chose to enjoy the weather on a hiking trail, on a rock climbing wall or opt for taking it easy in the museums or on Colorado’s largest body of water, Blue Mesa with 92 miles of shoreline just aching to be fished, Crested Butte has something that will pique your interest.
