Activities

Mountain Biking & Hiking

Best trails

We love Snodgrass Mountain and Lupine for both hiking and mountain biking

The lifts at the resort will be running for you to mountain bike down, or to hike from there

You can rent mountain bikes both in town and on the mountain

In Town: Big Al’s Bicycle Heaven

On the resort: Elevate Bike Rental, Crested Butte Sports, Butte & Co
