Q: How do I get to Crested Butte?
A: Good question! CB is an awesome town and a bit off the beaten path. The cheapest option is to fly into Denver and rent a car. The drive from Denver is about 4 hours and 30ish minutes. We encourage folks to share rides and rental cars - closer to our date we’ll set up some sort of rides spreadsheet. If you prefer, the closest airport to CB is Gunnison. From there, CB is about a 30-40 minute drive away. You can rent a car in Gunnison OR you can get a ride from Alpine Express (http://alpineexpressshuttle.com/) to/from Crested Butte. Other nearby airports are Montrose and Grand Junction.

Q: Where should I stay?
A: We made a list of some great spots to stay in town on our travel/lodging page. One thing to note is there are two distinct spots in Crested Butte: The Town and The Ski Mountain. The town is the hub of restaurants, bars, and where we’ll be out and about on Friday night and Saturday after the reception - so we encourage folks to find lodging in town if possible rather than on the ski mountain.

Q: What should I wear?
A: This is a wedding so dress classy! But keep in mind we are in the mountains - so mountain-chic?

Q: Where should I get groceries?
A: If you’re driving through Gunnison, City Market is the last nice grocery store before CB. Within CB proper there is Clarks, however the prices are steep and the produce isn’t that great.

Q: Where can I find a babysitter?
A: Reach out to Laura, CB Babysitting Co-op: cbbabysitterscoop@gmail.com, https://cbbabysitterscoop.weebly.com

Q: How do I get around once I’m in CB?
A: If you’re in town-proper, you can basically walk to any bar or restaurant! Locals like to get around on cruiser bikes. If you opt to go car-less, there are plenty of hikes/walks/experiences you can do right from town.

Q: How do I deal with elevation?
A: Crested Butte is at 8,909' and RMBL (ceremony/reception) is at 9,485 - so be prepared! Drink lots of water, don’t be surprised if you’re out of breath from walking up a flight of stairs, and you may be under the table after drinking just one or two Colorado IPAs. If you’re the type that likes to go on a 20 mile trail run, maybe tone it down to an 8 mile trail run ;)
