Crested Butte is a Mecca for Mountain Bikers...
Surrounded by National Forest Lands, rich with single-track trails and home to Fat Tire Bike Week for more than 20 years, Crested Butte's reputation as a mountain bike mecca prevails. Many believe that Crested Butte is the birthplace of the mountain bike. We can't verify that rumor, but we can laud our magnificent trail system.

Ride any of our local trails and experience first hand why Crested Butte is designated the Wildflower Capital of Colorado. The blanket of snow has left the mountainsides and valleys and made way for a magnificently colorful display of wildflowers.
