Sunday, December 30, 2001
GETTING THERE: The best way to reach Crested Butte is by flying into Gunnison Airport. From there, Alpine Express shuttle buses are available for less than $20 each way and will take you to the door of the house, condo or hotel where you're staying. The drive from Gunnison follows Colo. 135, which ends in Crested Butte. It takes about half an hour. From Denver, the drive takes more than four hours. Take I-70 west to state Route 470 East. Then take U.S. Route 285 south to U.S. 50 west, which runs through Gunnison. From Colorado Springs, pick up U.S. 285 south via U.S. 24 west and the rest is the same as from Denver.
