Hike to support the community members facing cancer as well as honor the loved ones we have lost at our 23rd Annual Summit Hike.
Participants have the option to do the challenging 11.5 miles round-trip hike from the base area, or ride the Silver Queen chairlift, which covers 2,000 vertical feet in 15 minutes. From the top of the chairlift, participants follow a high alpine trail to the rocky peak, which is approximately 2 miles round-trip and 762 vertical feet.
A chairlift ticket is included with registration, though we encourage participants to bring their Epic Pass, if they have one.
Mt Crested Butte is situated in the heart of the West Elk Mountains in southwestern Colorado. At the summit of Mt Crested Butte (12,162 feet) participants will get a 360 degree view of the West Elk Mountains, the Raggeds, the Snowmass/Maroon Bells Wilderness, and the Gunnison National Forest.
