This is a cool town! People in casual clothes meander the sidewalks, commute on mountain bikes and revel in the Colorado sunshine. A genuine sense of hospitality comes from such simple pleasures as wildflower hikes and bicycling through amazing scenery. Walk around our rustic and friendly town with its Victorian ambiance and reflections of turn-of-the-century mining life. Crested Butte or "the Butte", is known as "The Last Great Colorado Ski Town." The downtown business district is like a western movie set come to life in the 90's. Colorful buildings, shops, movies, and local watering holes make for a terrific Old West welcome. Crested Butte is designated a National Historic District.

We are easy to get to, just 28 miles from Gunnison Crested Butte Airport at the north end of the Gunnison Valley in the midst of the Elk Mountains. Drivers from Denver arrive in about four hours and Crested Butte is a must stop when driving through the Rocky Mountains. And once you're here, our dependable shuttle service between town and Mt. Crested Butte eliminates the need for an automobile. There are three miles between the towns and shuttle pick-up points are conveniently located and clearly marked.
