401 Trail + Snodgrass Trail, Crested Butte, CO | 19mi, 2200ft (ascent), 2900ft (descent)
Ahhh the 401 trail in Crested Butte. Is there any more of a classic? Though Justin, my dad and I have ridden this trail more than a few times, it’s tough to make a trip out to Crested Butte without taking a rip down this trail. In the past, I have always biked up to this trail from town, but this time we were lucky to have my mom kindly shuttle us to the top!
