The drive from Crested Butte to Paonia passes West Beckwith Mountain, the best spot in the state to view foliage. With 50 square miles of golden aspens.

I spent 16 days from the end of September into October traveling in Colorado ,I was hoping to see the aspens in fall color and got my wish ,one of my favorite spots to see them, lodging can be tricky if you wait to book and it does get crowded but well worth seeing .

All my experience with this chair lift is great! It's important addition to summer season in the area. One of the biggest hiking attraction, going to the summit of Mountain Crested Butte, wouldn't be so quick without opportunity to "jump" hundreds of feet on elevation to the point, where you can start your journey, hiking to the peak. When on the lift, you can be amazed by beautiful views of the region. We had to wear the face masks because of the freaking virus. The last ride down is at 2:15 pm. If you want to reach the peak of the Mountain Crested Butte and use the lift going down, you have to start your day early enough. I've calculated, that since you are at the top station of the lift, you need about 3 hours to be able to get to the summit without any rush, take some pictures and hike down to the lift. More time you have, better for you. There is many beautiful spots there. RomanP P.S. I am surprised that my previous review hasn't been published!

Between Crested Butte and Marble, this difficult road has narrow, steep passages.
Reviewed By 981DD - Ouray, United States
This was the most beautiful pass of all we visited in Colorado- the beautiful meadows and wildflowers. Go as far as it is safe for your vehicle to go- we had a suburban AWD but couldn't make it all the way to the pass due to the road being washed out by a waterfall.

Great mountain with every (and I mean EVERY) staff member super friendly and helpful. Skied 3 days, son did 1/2 day lesson, and loved every minute on the mountain. Even getting rentals, finding lesson and exploring the mountain and village, we enjoyed. Every staff member you pass, you get a hello, Happy New Year, can I help you, and all of them really went out of their way to help. They also understood the Vail Resorts on-line system was (and still is) having plenty of issues. Rentals and lessons all worked out great thanks to the staff on the mountain. My favorite mtn to ski in Colorado. Mtn is steep and you can find some nice steep groomers. Great small pockets for short runs, short lifts near Umbrella Bar) and avoid the bigger crowds. Paradise has great steep runs.
