Things To Do
Needle Rock Trailhead
Climb the volcanic spire namesake of the wedding! A short but steep hike that would be an excellent way to spend Saturday morning before the festivities. Make sure to park in the actual marked trailhead parking lot and not someone's driveway....
Kebler Pass
This gentle mountain pass connects the Paonia/Somerset area to Crested Butte, traveling between the West Elk and Ragged Mountains through the largest single aspen grove in the lower 48 states. Full of hiking (like the Ruby Anthracite trail) and beautiful scenery, it's worth the trip, either just in part or all the way to Crested Butte and back.
BIG B'S DELICIOUS ORCHARDS
A fun farm shop full of locally pressed ciders and acres of pick your own produce. August will be a wonderful time for peaches, tomatoes and more!
Orchard Valley Farms and Market
Another pick your own orchard in the Paonia area plus local wine and farm products.
Dominguez-Escalante National Conservation Area
To the west of Crawford begins the expanse of Colorado canyon lands that stretches to the state border and beyond, a dramatic descent from the heights of the Rockies. Dominguez-Escalante NCA protects the first massive canyon just outside Delta, Colorado and is full of hiking and climbing opportunities. Plan for high heat in August, start hikes early and bring lots of water.
