Summer/Fall Activities in Crested Butte

Experience the vibrant beauty of Crested Butte in the warmer months. Known as the Wildflower Capital of Colorado, our high-alpine home becomes a playground of endless sunshine and golden aspens. Whether you are seeking world-class mountain biking and hiking trails or a peaceful afternoon of trout fishing and alpine picnics, the possibilities for adventure are endless.

Mountain & Trail Adventures Challenge yourself with rock climbing and zipline tours, or explore the vast backcountry via horseback, 4-wheel drive, or motorcycle. For a classic Crested Butte experience, take the ski lift to the summit of Mount Crested Butte or drive the iconic Ohio and Kebler Passes to witness the breathtaking transformation of the aspen trees in the fall.

Water & Recreation Cool off with a day of rafting, kayaking, or stand-up paddleboarding on our pristine local waters. For those looking for a slower pace, enjoy a round of golf, disc golf, or tennis amidst stunning mountain backdrops.

Town & Culture After your adventures, retreat to Elk Avenue for "patio hopping," local farmers markets, and vibrant summer festivals. From outdoor concerts to family photo sessions in the wildflowers, there is something new to experience every day.
