Crested Butte - Day 1

We decided a few weeks ago to go to book a trip to Crested Butte. We have heard great things, but just haven't been yet. We picked up the kids on Friday before nap time and off we went. We decided to take Cottonwood pass which is supposed to be a little bit more scenic and cut off some miles. We got to to top of the pass and grabbed a few pictures (it was pretty cool and rainy). The other side of the pass was not paved, but was fine. We ran into some road construction near Almont, so that slowed us down a bit. We arrived at our hotel around 5:30 and got checked in and grabbed the public bus to go in to town. We settled on The Last Steep for dinner, which was pretty good. The town is quite small with one main road with little shops and restaurants.
