A handful of original structures remain in this picturesque, nearly all but deserted, townsite. A few current residents and a high-altitude field station call it home today. The Rocky Mountain Biological Lab operates currently around the townsite. Students spend the summer here studying the local ecosystem.
Gothic
Gothic is an impressive ghost town surrounded by the West Elk Mountains, secluded just north of “Colorado’s last great ski town”. It’s accessible year round, but easiest when the snow melts off.
A handful of original structures remain in this picturesque, nearly all but deserted, townsite. A few current residents and a high-altitude field station call it home today. The Rocky Mountain Biological Lab operates currently around the townsite. Students spend the summer here studying the local ecosystem.

The Devil’s Punchbowl is a long drive, but a short hike. This frigid hidden gem is deep in the Elk Mountains and a popular spot for cliff diving while they’re here (it’s dangerous, and not recommended). The snowmelt-fed South Fork Crystal River provides the waterfalls atop this beautiful pool.

At less than 11 miles between trailheads, a hike from Aspen to Crested Butte (or the reverse) is one of the most memorable and popular trips taken at the peak of summer and early fall. Hiking time will vary depending on your fitness level and group size, but expect to spend at least 6 to 10 hours of the day accomplishing this feat. Plenty of food, water, clothing layers, and a first aid kit are highly recommended.
There are two shuttle services (Dolly’s and Alpine) that will pick you up from the trailhead and bring you to your hotel in Crested Butte. Call and schedule a reservation in advance and they should be waiting for you at the trailhead. Pick-up’s typically cost about $20 per person. These services will also bring you to the trailhead from town in the morning.
