There's no shortage of gorgeous trails around Crested Butte! Check out the Crested Butte website for an interactive list of local hikes broken down by difficulty and features (mountain views, aspens, etc.)


The picture above was taken from one of the hiking trails on the ski mountain.

Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park

Colorado, USA
(970) 641-2337

A two hour drive from Crested Butte, this is a lesser known national park that features an extremely sheer, deep canyon and some of the best stargazing in the country.

Disc Golf

There are two courses in town: Big Mine Disc Course, which is confusing, and Ten-Three @ CB, located at the top of the Red Lady lift on the ski mountain. It is about a one mile hike when the lifts are not turning. You will be treated to excellent views and creative holes.

Itching for more?
