Summer is in full swing in the valley. School is out and our streets, trails, rivers, shops and restaurants are filling up with happy tourists and second home-owners. The Crested Butte Mountain Bike Association reports that many of the area’s favorite biking and hiking trails are open for business including classics like Strand Hill and Deer Creek. We still have snow in the high country but with all of this great summer weather it won’t be long before everything is dried out and ready for bike tires and boots.
The Crested Butte Land Trust (CBLT) and the town of Mt. Crested Butte are gathering support for a potential purchase of 93 acres of land located on the flank of Snodgrass Mountain that includes a portion of the highly popular Snodgrass Trail. According to a recent article in the Crested Butte News, CBLT executive director Ann Johnston said, “the land would be protected from future development and preserved as open space with public access.”
