About Crested Butte

Crested Butte began as a coal mining town, and its colorful false-fronted main street is now a National Historic District. The peak of Mount Crested Butte rises above it at 12,162 feet, its steep extreme terrain matched in summer by meadows that have made the town the official wildflower capital of Colorado.
