Summer Trip - Part 3: Crested Butte

Dave says: When our time in Park City was finished, we still had one more bike destination to visit. Crested Butte has been on our list for a while but we had never visited. This year, we had some great friends to be our guides and show us around on the best trails. Crested Butte has big mountain views and incredible wild flowers. Unlike the smooth and flowy trails of Park City, every ride felt like a backcountry adventure. Even though we were feeling pretty fit, we were grinding our way up some relentless climbs and then plunging down through some fun techy descents. Somehow Alisha was doing all this while sick with a lingering cough. Highlights included Teocali, Dr Park, and the 401. The bike park was also really good, especially the double black Psycho Rocks.

The kids had a good time in Crested Butte. Camp was right near by and they also had lots of adults to hang out with and entertain them. Every morning they liked to go play in the flowers right next to the condo. We also found surprisingly good food in Crested Butte at pretty much every restaurant we tried. Crested Butte may have crushed our legs but we're already looking forward to our next visit.
