Often referred to as "Colorado's Last Great Ski Town", Crested Butte is a charming old mining town with many shops, restaurants, and bars centered around the main street - Elk Avenue. Our personal favorite places are Camp 4 Coffee, Niky's Mini Donuts, Teocalli Tamale and Bonez.
One of our go-to activities is to hike to the top of Mt. Crested Butte in the summer. You can either hike from the base all the way to the top (about 7 miles each way), or take the chair lift and hike from there (about 2 miles round trip). This hike can be strenuous and the weather often changes quickly so bring a lot of water and a rain jacket!
