- I would suggest Irwin Lodge just Northwest of Crested Butte,
- Colorado.......it's a gorgeous lodge on the side of a mountain, but it is at
- about 11,000 feet, so might be too high? I'm sure there are oodles of day
- trails to take from there.
- I think that you take the Kebler Pass road from Crested Butte.....let
- me know if you need more info.......I could try to get it for you.
