Crested Butte is known for its mountain biking, skiing, hiking, snowshoeing and wildflowers. Depending on the season, your budget and how adventurous you’re feeling- there are plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors in this special place. Whether you are a world class athlete or you are visiting with your family, you’ll find something to do in this fantastic town.

Now that you’ve worked up an appetite, this tiny ski town has some big dining options. The Last Steep, Secret Stash, Teocalli Tamale and Lil’s are a few local faves.
