Things To Do

Rafting at Three Rivers Resort & Outfitting

Rent Paddle Boards with Wheelies and Waves Adventure Company

They also have a location in Gunnison. Where to paddleboard: Lake Irwin, Long Lake, Emerald Lake, Taylor Park Reservoir, Mirror Lake, Blue Mesa Reservoir

Go Horseback Riding with Harmels on the Taylor

Fishing

The Three Rivers Resort offers guided fishing trips (fly and spin) down the Gunnison River, and also rents all the fishing equipment you need to do it yourself. Blue Mesa Fishing offers guided fishing trips on Blue Mesa in Gunnison. We love Long Lake for catching cutthroat trout, the Beaver Ponds for catching brook trout, and any spots along the Gunnison River for catching brown and rainbow trout. You can also catch kokanee salmon in Blue Mesa.

Stroll down Elk Ave

A must-do if you're visiting Crested Butte. There are also some great places to eat here. Some of our faves: Secret Stash Pizza, Butte Bagels, Paradise Cafe. ****Sunday: Crested Butte Farmers Market on Elk Ave****

Go Off-Roading

Take your 4WD high-clearance vehicle, or rent a UTV from Colorado Adventure Rentals. We recommend checking out Mirror Lake (pictured), just past Tin Cup. There is also a cute place to eat in Tin Cup called Frenchie's.
