Things To Do

Crested Butte Wildflower Festival

TAKE THE LIFT TO THE CRESTED BUTTE SUMMIT TRAIL

In the summer the Silver Queen chairlift runs at Crested Butte Mountain Resort. Once you get off the lift it’s a 1.25-mile hike to the summit of Crested Butte Mountain. This hike is moderate-difficult. Its well-marked and goes through tall timber, across tundra and up a boulderfield at the end. The view from the top is amazing in all directions. The hike back to the base area is six miles or you can take the chairlift down. You must purchase a ticket to ride the chairlift.

STARGAZE AT BLACK CANYON OF THE GUNNISON NATIONAL PARK

Black Canyon National Park is a designated International Dark Sky Park. This means there is very little artificial light pollution at the park, making the stargazing spectacular. The park doesn’t close at night, which allows access for nightlong sky viewing. Several overlooks are further back from the road and are shielded from headlights on passing cars. On the South Rim these include Chasm View, Dragon Point and Sunset View. On the North Rim these include overlooks along Chasm View Nature Trail and Kneeling Camel View. The hiking and views at Black Canyon are also stunning during the day!
