Overnight Trek = Challenging
Join us to see the wildflowers of Crested Butte after the town’s famous festival is finished and the crowds have dispersed. We’ll head out for our own private tours as we amble through the town, the woods and the meadows—so the ability to walk a lot is a must, though you can catch a break by riding the ski lift up the mountainside to take in the view. We’ll drop by the ghost town of Gothic to learn about its botanical projects and head south to nearby Gunnison to savor some history. Let’s have a blooming-good time!
Includes three nights’ lodging, bus transportation, guides, all entrance fees and six meals, including a Welcome Dinner.
