History Ski Tour & Lunch at the Magic Meadows Yurt
Join the Museum for a delicious lunch with a side of history at the Magic Meadows Yurt. This is a ticketed event that includes a light lunch for all participants. We will meet at the trailhead for a guided group tour out to the Yurt for a delicious lunch and enjoyable history talk. During our ski out to the Yurt, we will make multiple stops in historically significant locations and learn about the mines of the area. A nordic pass and gear will be required for this event. If you require an equipment rental, we suggest setting one up ahead of time with the Crested Butte Nordic Center as rentals do sell out ahead of time.
Annual events in Crested Butte and Gunnison
Gunnison Valley is also host to several beloved annual events. A classic winter event is The Alley Loop, a Nordic ski race that doubles as a costume contest. In fall, Mt. Crested Butte hosts the famous Chili and Beer Festival. Every summer in Gunnison, a crowd gathers to watch America’s fourth-oldest rodeo, Cattlemen’s Days. There are also festivals in Crested Butte that celebrate local art, music, wildflowers, and more. Attending an annual event is a good way to connect with the culture of the Gunnison Valley. You might even create a new tradition for you and your family and friends!
