Colorful Fall Hike from Aspen to Crested Butte

Sept 10, my dog, Izzo, and my friends hiked from the Maroon Bells trailhead near Aspen Highlands to Crested Butte 10 miles away.
We all spent Friday and Saturday at the beautiful, pet friendly, ski-in, ski-out, luxury Elevation Lodge and Spa.  We made use of the pool and hot tub after the 6 hour hike and then had dinner at the Avalanche Bar and Grill.
Sept 11, I toured a majority of the Ski-in, Ski-out properties in Crested Butte. Thanks to Geoff for his tips and guidance. I now know more than ever about the lodging at the base of the Crested Butte ski area!!
That afternoon, we enjoyed the Beer and Chili festival with music by Otis Taylor! Incredible, sunny afternoon at the base of Crested Butte, Colorado.
We enjoyed more music and pizza at the Firehouse Grill located in the Plaza condominiums which are only a few steps to the slopes. What a convenient place.
Once again I would like to thank Geoff for his hospitality that day. Crested Butte is just a fun place, everyone was very accommodating and it was an incredibly relaxing weekend!!

Sept 12, we hiked back under cloudless, blue Colorado skies, while the Denver Broncos were losing to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
