Mt. Crested Butte is located 3 miles up the road from Crested Butte. Known for its downhill skiing and snowboarding during the winter months and its epic bike park during the summer months, Crested Butte Mountain Resort is a playground for all to enjoy. The resort itself offers restaurants, shops, hotels, a climbing wall, zip lining, bungee trampoline and summer archery course to name a few.

There is much to discover outside the towns of Crested Butte and Mt. Crested Butte. Rural Crested Butte offers a variety of areas and neighborhoods to explore. A few miles north of Mt. Crested Butte lies the ghost town of Gothic, Colorado. In the early 1900’s a Western State Professor visited Gothic and acknowledged that the area had a very diverse ecosystem. In 1928, Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL) was born and is now home to one of the largest annual migrations of field biologists.
