Before You Go

Good to Know

△Altitude Awareness
+

Crested Butte sits at 8,909 ft. Give yourself a day to acclimate — drink extra water and take it easy on arrival. Most guests feel great within 24 hours.

◇September Weather
+

Days are crisp and sunny (60–70°F) while evenings drop to 35–45°F, so pack layers. A warm sweater, light jacket, and comfortable walking shoes are essential.

◈Peak Foliage Season
+

You're arriving at one of Colorado's most spectacular times. The aspens turn brilliant gold and orange in late September. Every direction looks like a painting.

○Book Early
+

Crested Butte is a small mountain town, and fall foliage weekend is one of the busiest of the year. Book accommodations as soon as you can.
