Crested Butte 2024
| I
was invited to join the Early CJ-5 folks on their annual adventure.
This time they are in the central mountains near Crested Butte Colorado
- an area I have yet to explore. They have a plan and I simply said
"yes". I'll be following and have not looked at the map to see where
we're going. It will take me a day to travel to Crested Butte (and a day back). They have plans for trail riding Monday through Thursday. There is talk of possibly having a short trail on Friday if anyone's interested. I am well impressed with the mountain scenery of the area and was happy to enjoy it with them. Click a day to see photos for that day
