Crested Butte


The Scruton's invited us on a road trip to Crested Butte for the day, with LOTS of sight seeing opportunities in between. We traveled on McClure Pass and Kebler Pass to get there...both passes are highly recommended by locals to experience. It was gorgeous! And the weather couldn't have been better.
Stop #1... Mt Sopris. After this I lost track of stops... we took a lot!! It took us over 3 hours to get there, but on the way back it was closer to 2 hours... that tells you we stopped for tons of pictures.

Apparently, they think this is a good stop for pictures! Ha! 









More Aspen... and one to jump on for fun!

We found Grandpa McMillan's name.

Finally in Crested Butte... very colorful and artistic town.

Photobombed!

Every building was brightly and colorfully painted.





Ice cream time!

Home made ice cream and home made waffle cones. Yum!
Riley chose milk chocolate and Reece chose dark chocolate with Almonds. (Is that a normal kid choice?)
I chose salted caramel...delicious!

Busy bee, up close and personal. (Thanks Celia)



A little town with a lot of charm.

On our way back down to Glenwood we made 2 stops... we couldn't resist a second stop at the reservoir. 





And a tiny water fall closer to home...







More nature...
