Yes Crested Butte is The Wildflower Capital of Colorado

Once again, Crested Butte ranks as one of the top places in the USA to view wildflowers.  Every year is a little different, making every year a unique experience of Mother Natures gift of color.  Rent a Jeep and we’ll get you to the coolest spots to indulge your wildflower desires.  For example, the photo above was taken from one of our customers while on a wildflower hunt.

Camping in the Gunnison National Forest

Posted on by

Here is a great map I got from the Chamber in Gunnison.  It clearly labels all the different camping options in the Gunnison National Forest.  With this years change in the rules, dispersed camping is not allowed in much of the surrounding areas, so it makes sense to book your camping spot months in advance.  This can be done online with the Gunnison National Forest.  Enjoy and please remember, “Camp In and Camp Out.”  Meaning whatever you bring into the forest please make sure to bring back out with you.  Happy Camping!

Paradise Divide and Emerald Lake are Open

Posted on by

The views from Paradise Divide Pass are some of the best in all of Colorado.  Located at the end of the valley, this glacial zone is expansive, as seen in the panoramic photo.  Which encompasses the short version of our go to loop.  After explore here, we recommend our customers go check out Emerald Lake, located past the townsite of Gothic.  These are hands down my two favorite spots in the Crested Butte zone and in all of the Gunnison National Forest.

Green Means GO! Our Crested Butte Location is Now Open

Posted on by

We all have been waiting for this moment when we all can start living life again like we used too before the pandemic.  Well that day has finally come, as Gunnison County’s corona meter has lowered to the green level which means masks are not needed in most situations.  We have kicked off another season with a new member to the family named Maxine.  She has brand new Bilstein shocks and 35” tires, making her a very capable Jeep.  We love this time of year, as the grass and trees are turning green and the trails are opening up.  Allowing for days of fun to be had in the Gunnison National Forest while renting a specialized Jeep.

Alpenglow Concert Series in On this Year

Posted on by

We received great news from the Center of the Arts in Crested Butte that the annual Monday evening Alpenglow concert series is back on for 2020.  Last year with the pandemic raging it was no surprise that the center had to cancel the typically annual free event.  Now, a year later, they have announced that the concert series will begin on June 28th with my favorite local band, Gun Rack.  Followed by Brothers of Brass on July 5th, Lizzy Plotkin & Natalie Spears / Storm Pass on the 12th, Easy Jim on the 19th and my second favorite local band MILLK on the 26th.

So if you like free outdoor music and visiting some of the most beautiful landscapes in North America, come visit us in Crested Butte or Gunnison and rent a specialized Jeep.  As we are your ride to the high country!
