Bundle the kids you’re out the door. A five-minute walk later you’re kissing them goodbye for the day at their award-winning community school. Across the street pick up your coffee while you check your email at Buckaroo Beanery. On your way home stop at the post office, chat with a friend on Elk Avenue, find that new bestseller at the library and pick up some organic, locally-grown veggies for dinner. All the while enjoying clear bluebird sky and fresh ski tracks stealing down the southeast face of the Red Lady.
A bit later, walk back into your living room and stoke the fireplace. The whole day is ahead of you.
Living in downtown Crested Butte isn’t just convenient, it’s also eco-friendly. In fact, once you’re in town, you’re likely to seldom start your car. The international dining, exciting nightlife, enticing galleries and casual local hangouts on and off Elk Avenue, are always a short walk or bike cruise from your front door. In this pedestrian and bike-friendly community, you can stroll to one-of-a-kind shops, Clark’s or Mountain Earth grocery stores, the Center for the Arts, and all the municipal buildings, not to mention trailheads for hiking, nordic skiing, biking and horseback riding. And when it’s time to head up to the ski area, a free shuttle is never more than a few blocks away. You can even catch a free bus to Gunnison to shop, catch a flight and more.
Go green, and put yourself in the heart of Colorado’s last great ski town.
