Crested Butte is in central Colorado on the preferred "western slope" of the Rockies. The closest "large" town is Gunnison. Part of the appeal of this remote location is its distance from the traffic and congestion of the I-70 resorts and front range cities. The air is pristine, the views are breath taking, and the water is pure. It’s pretty easy to get here, but much harder to leave. There are many methods of transportation to choose from: by air, car, or even on foot, bike, or skis.
Driving time from Denver is around 4 hours and just under that from Colorado Springs. If you’re flying into closer airports, it’s only a 90 minute drive from Montrose and 40 minutes from Gunnison. The drive through the scenic mountains of Colorado in the summertime is one worth taking from any of these locations.
