We have easy, moderate, and difficult activities -- walks in town, hiking, a trip to the back country, and exploring on Mount Crested Butte! These activities are all optional, but will give you some fun things to do on your trip here :)

There is a FREE bus that runs from the Mountain Base Area (where all the hotels are) to town. We recommend utilizing this option for town activities if you don't want to stress about parking.

If you want to explore on your own, check out our guide to CB below.

Travel CB is an amazing resource for all things Crested Butte. Their website is here: https://travelcrestedbutte.com/

The Mountain Express is the FREE bus shuttle that runs all over town and to & from the Base Area on the mountain. Buses run every 20 minutes from 7:35AM to Midnight.
