Crested Butte

This quaint but meticulously upkept storybook town is real treat. Not to mention having a Christmas-like feel to it after being covered in roughly 50 inches of new snow.

For lodging, we ended up staying at the Cristiana Guesthaus as mentioned earlier. It was a fun bed and breakfast that had free Wi-Fi service, an outdoor hot tub, and common space on both the lower and upper levels for people to eat, lounge, and enjoy each others company. As for our room, it was tiny but clean and nicely kept. For some reason I couldn’t help think of this as a radically scaled down version of Le Chateau Montebello. I suppose I was just reminiscing of an age now long past.

The following are a few pictures of the town after spending the morning on the slopes:

At around 3pm we left the city and began a four hour drive back home, which is quite beautiful if you have never experienced what Highway 50 has to offer.

For us, the exploration of Crested Butte has just begun. There still more to experience of the mountain resort as well as the town. I also hear that the Wildflower Festival is a sight to behold, not to mention how great I imagine some of the back roads would be while traveling on two wheels.

   The Crested Butte photos are great. All of your photos are good, Brooke. You should try to sell them to some travel magazines. I really enjoy getting to see the adventures you both take. I want to tell you how happy I am that you and Kate are getting married! I am a proud Mom.
