Crested Butte Lifestyle  

 Nestled high in the Colorado Rockies, at the headwaters of what the old timers call the Paradise Divide, surrounded by protected federal lands of breathtaking splendor, lies a town like no other. Where the best of the old and the new West come together in a special lifestyle.

From its 1800's mining days to its emergence as a 21st Century destination resort, Crested Butte remains a real community. A warm welcoming place where newcomers don't stay strangers for long. Where kids ride their bikes to school, and folks gather to talk at the post office. Here, there are no stop lights or fast food chains. Benches all over town beg you to relax. Here, we respect our past while planning for the future. We preserve our heritage as a National Historic District, protect our open spaces and ranching traditions through a land trust and promote balanced, sustained economic growth. A place of opportunities, with values that might surprise you.
