After years of talking about going to Crested Butte (neither of us had been before), we finally booked a trip with the boys to celebrate my birthday and our anniversary. I can't believe we hadn't made this place a priority before.
Not only are the views stunning, but this small town is a hopping place with something going on nearly every weekend. We were lucky to be there during a 48 hour bike "race" consisting of folks dressed up in all sorts of costumes (a banana, tin man, guy dressed in a pink tutu and the highest pink heels I have ever seen etc). It was quite entertaining to watch these folks do laps around the town.
Before leaving Denver we asked some friends who have 3 kids and make a yearly trip to CB about good hikes. The suggested one that goes up to a stunning waterfall and so we decided to do that one day. All of these pictures are taken on this hike (unfortunately I didn't take pictures on anything else we did that long weekend.)
The boys enjoyed the hike and for the first time were both able to do the hike without any carrying. In fact at times, Brian and I were running to keep up!
The waterfall could be seen at the top of the hike from a very high cliff (and Adler likes to point out that there were no railings, which was true). It was one of the most spectacular waterfalls I have ever seen, but we did have to watch our step and stay back from the edge.
Adler doing what Adler does.
