Chairlift rides on Crested Butte Mountain Resort are available to summer hikers and bikers.
The Silver Queen lift transports hikers to just below the summit at 11,400 feet.
From there, sightseers can climb to the 12,162-foot Mt. Crested Butte peak, stop for a picnic or simply take in the spectacular views of the Elk Mountain Range of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. |
