Flight
The scenic drive from Denver International Airport to Crested Butte is approximately 4.5 hours. We know this sounds daunting but we promise the trek and views are worth it. You can also consider breaking the travel day up and spending the night in Denver where there are plenty of affordable hotel options. If you plan to drive from Denver, we recommend stopping in along the way in Buena Vista for lunch or pulling off at the summit of Cottonwood Pass for views of the Continental Divide.
Flight
If long drives through the mountains aren't your thing, flying into Gunnison Airport is one way to avoid that. You can find flights in and out of Gunnison through United Airlines or JSX. Gunnison Airport to Crested Butte is approximately a 30-minute drive. There are multiple rental car options at the airport (Hertz, Avis, & Budget) or you can book a private or shared shuttle service from Gunnison to Crested Butte through Alpine Express. Please note that there are NO ride-share services from Gunnison to CB.
House Or Rental
There are tons of affordable and luxury short-term rentals in the town of Crested Butte and up on the mountain. We recommend booking through Airbnb, VRBO, or Iron Horse CB.
