Things To Do
It’s called the “last great Colorado ski town,” but Crested Butte is also worth a visit after the snow melts.
It’s a little more than four hours southwest from Denver, but it’s worth the drive. This small, former mining town feels like it exists in its own little bubble of relaxation. Speed limits are extra slow, the downtown looks and feels old-fashioned and the scenic drives just beg for you to take your time and take in the views.
There’s a ton of adventure awaiting in Crested Butte.

Take a stroll down Elk Ave. When was the last time you did this? Not for exercise or to get somewhere, but to just breathe and take in the sights. Crested Butte is an extremely pedestrian friendly town with historical buildings, mountain views, and plenty of places to stop in and visit. Why not grab a Crested Butte shirt or memento from Mountain Tops while you’re at it?
