Lupine, Crested Butte, CO | 15.58 mi, 1562 ft up

Name a better time to be up in Crested Butte, I’ll wait. Okay maybe early summer during flower season is nice too. The yellow and damp fall is something special though.

 

This is a great loop to do from town. We started from Big Al’s bike shop in town, cruised the Foxtrot bike path up to the start of Lupine and looped it back.
