During our stay at Keystone and surrounding areas , we had an extra day left so we had a choice - 45 minutes to go to Vail or 3 1/2 hours to Crested Butte . Obvious choice right? Wrong ! We figured we'd go with the road less traveled and head to CB because our logic at the time was "everybody goes to Vail!" and we'll come back and do it on another trip. Remember now 3 1/2 hours = 7 hours both ways and we had to be at the airport early the next morning. So we embarked about 3 in the morning to allow for any delays and stopping for food and bathroom break on the way. The whole trip was exhausting never again but the skiing and scenery were off the hook so at the end of the day you do all of this no matter what for the experience and I choose to remember all the good parts.
