High alpine lake.  Great hike.  3.5 miles from trail head.  431 elevation gain. Easy to hike, bike or xc ski.  Absolutely stunning especially with lilies.

Downtown Crested Butte
We had a great time here, watching the US/Belgium world cup match, with a great and very enthusiastic (college soccer player) owner, and crowd.  The food is tex/mex style, quite good and the portions are generous

East Aspen

If you're spending some time in East Aspen, Roaring Fork River and Aspen Mountain are top sights worth seeing.

East Aspen
From a hiking trip last fall!  <3 Colorado.  While this is not the most difficult hike, the views are absolutely spectacular especially when the Aspens are changing color.  Early morning is the best time to go to get beautiful lake reflections.
