3 Best Sights in Crested Butte, Southwest Colorado

Crested Butte Mountain Heritage Museum

Housed in an 1893 hardware store, this museum showcases the essentials for life in an 1880s mining town, such as clothing, furniture, and household items. There's an intricate diorama of the town in the 1920s, complete with a moving train, plus exhibits on skiing, sledding, biking, and Flauschink, a quirky local ceremony that welcomes the return of spring.

Kebler Pass

The scenic Gunninson County Road 12 runs northwest from Crested Butte over Kebler Pass to Paonia. The 31-mile stretch of road is beautiful but unpaved, so plan plenty of time to drive it. The road is closed to motor vehicles in winter.
