Crested Butte is a former coal-mining town at the head of the Gunnison Valley whose brightly painted Victorian storefronts and laid-back culture have helped it remain one of Colorado’s least-developed ski towns. Crested Butte Mountain Resort sits a few miles up the road in the town of Mount Crested Butte and is known for steep, extreme terrain. In summer, the surrounding meadows are famous for wildflowers, and the area is considered one of the birthplaces of mountain biking.
Getting to Crested Butte by car means a long drive from any major city, with the trip from Denver taking well over four hours. The nearest commercial airport is in Gunnison, about 30 miles south, and flying private into Gunnison–Crested Butte Regional Airport cuts most of that travel time. From there, the drive up the valley is short and scenic. Visitors come for skiing, hiking, mountain biking, fly-fishing on the Gunnison and Taylor rivers and the town’s relaxed dining scene.

Things to do in Crested Butte
When to go. Crested Butte’s ski season typically runs from late November into early April, with deep snow and quiet slopes much of the winter. July is wildflower season, when the meadows are at their most colorful. Late September brings golden aspens along Kebler Pass. Summer days are warm and nights cool. Spring and late fall are off-seasons, when some businesses close and dirt roads can be muddy.
