Cement Creek Road to Reno Divide

Roughly six miles south out of Crested Butte is Cement Creek Road, which accesses Crested Butte South.  Cement Creek is a dirt road, providing miles of fun Jeeping, especially this time of year when we are waiting for the snow to fully melt.  I enjoyed a quick adventure up the road yesterday, easily making it to the beaver pond meadow.  The road becomes very narrow (as seen in the photo below) so you’ll want to go slow as there are many blind corners and oncoming traffic.

The Fall Foliage Season has Arrived!

Trail during Fall Foliage

Customer’s often ask when will the leaves turn or be at their peak and I usually say the climax is around September 25th to the 27th.  However, not this year!  With cooling temps and the added moisture that the Fall brings, this year it’s already happening.  The leaves are turning, the landscape/view is turning surreal and there’s a certain chill to the air.  Personally I love wearing sweaters in the morning, but not for long as the powerful sun clears out the valley floor and brings warmth to us all.  If fewer crowds and epic views are what you yearn for, then we surely have your fix.
