Things To Do
Hiking
There are so many great hiking trails in and around Crested Butte. Two of our nearby favorites are the Crested Butte Recreation Path and Judd Falls.
Chairlift Rides
Take a scenic chairlift ride on either the Red Lady Express or Silver Queen Express up to 11,400 feet above sea level. Once on the mountain, you can access several hiking and biking trails.
Mountain Biking
Michael and Sarah are both too scared to do this, but for the brave of heart, there are over 750 miles of mountain biking trails in the area.
Fourth of July
If you will be staying in town for the Fourth of July, Crested Butte is renowned for their celebration of the holiday. Festivities start with a parade up Elk Ave at 11am and finish with a water fight at noon. You can then find live music at the Red Lady Stage at the base of the ski area followed by a laser show and fireworks at 9pm.
Guided Fly Fishing
For Michael's adventure of choice, Dragonfly Anglers offers guided fly fishing tours in the area.
Golf
If you're too pretentious for the mountains, the nearby Club at Crested Butte has a wonderful 18-hole course.
Horseback Riding
Fantasy Ranch offers horseback rides that take you into the Crested Butte mountains for some really awesome views.
White Water Rafting
There are multiple rivers to raft locally with 3 Rivers Resort.
ATV Rentals
CB Motorsports is a self guided ATV rental company. They claim not to have lost anyone in their 15-years of operation. Could you be the first?
Kid's Adventure Park
The adventure park has rock climbing, bungee trampolines, and prospecting for treasures.
