SHOT 1/12/09 1:13:03 PM - A Crested Butte, Co. local rides his bike down Elk Avenue, the town's main street, during a snowstorm. Bikes are a popular form of transportation in the small mountain town even in the wintertime. Crested Butte is a Home Rule Municipality in Gunnison County, Colorado, United States. A former coal mining town now called "the last great Colorado ski town", Crested Butte is a destination for skiing, mountain biking, and a variety of other outdoor activities. The population was 1,529 at the 2000 census. The Colorado General Assembly has designated Crested Butte the wildflower capital of Colorado. The primary winter activity in Crested Butte is skiing or snowboarding at nearby Crested Butte Mountain Resort in Mount Crested Butte, Colorado. Backcountry skiing in the surrounding mountains is some of the best in Colorado. The mountain, Crested Butte, rises to 12,162 feet (3,700 m) above sea level..(Photo by Marc Piscotty / © 2009)
