 Free Townie Bikes
July 21, 2010
We are now proud to offer our guests another great Crested Butte experience. Cruiser bikes to ride around town like the locals. Crested Butte is a very bike friendly town and though walking to everything is simple, riding there is all the more fun. If you are up for a challenge, try our tandem bike out. We are always looking for new ways to improve our guests experience and thanks for some great guest feedback we have a fleet of new bikes.

Rustlers Gulch Trail
July 13, 2010
The north end of Gothic Road offers some incredible trails for hiking and mountain biking. One often overlooked trail is Rustlers Gulch. This trail is open to hikers only and offers an incredibly peaceful valley to explore. There are creeks along the way, some old mining ruins and even a small waterfall. During the middle of the summer there are tons of wildflowers and in late summer it offers some incredible views.

Touch of Snow
July 6, 2010
Crested Butte can get snow any month of the year. Our early snows offer incredible scenery early in the mornings. However, any snow before November melts away quickly allowing all our trails and wilderness access to remain open.

Blue Lake is a challenging, yet rewarding, destination for a day hike. Found 7 miles at the top of the Oh-Be-Joyful Trail, this trail offers views of waterfalls, beaver damns, and incredible valley, flowers, abandoned mines, wonderful views and an incredible lake. This trail can also be riding by horseback.
