Crested Butte (heh, heh, he said Butte)

Home of the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame!!!!!!
(and, I believe, looks more like the kinda town GB thought Moab would be)


Crested Butte MTB guide
more trail descriptions

Looks like the "classic rides" are long buggers:

Lower Loop (mellow and great for wildflower viewing????  WTF???)
Strand Hill (17 miles round trip. 1500 feet cumulative elevation gain. A local favorite with plenty of single track riding.)

#401 (24 miles round trip. 2800 feet cumulative elevation gain. This one is a favorite among those who frequent the trails around Crested Butte. It's difficult, but well worth the effort. It offers a lot of advanced single track.  )
Teocalli Ridge(25 miles round trip. 2200 feet cumulative elevation gain. Plenty of intermediate and advanced single track make this a challenge and a local favorite for the awesome downhill and amazing views.

Hartman's Rocks (70+ miles of options here )
Crested Butte Mountain Resort (lift access trails, better bring your big bikes)

etc., etc., etc.....

And don't forget Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park
