We started the morning with a grocery run, French toast, and plans to go in search of wildflowers. The volunteer at the visitor’s center was helpful but by noon, the temperature was already close to 80 degrees. That plus the strong sun and altitude made walking unpleasant. Crested Butte is beautiful, surrounded by green peaks and pine forests. Much of the wildflowers we’re past their prime so we found a shady spot under the bridge, had our picnic lunch and went back to the house.
Dinner at the house was followed by ice cream and a nice cool walk at Mt. Crested Butte Lodge and ski area.
