Springtime in the Rockies

We went up to Crested Butte on the 16th of March to see how spring was progressing there. The picture at the left, taken from Mt. Crested Butte, shows the town of Crested Butte across the valley, beneath the hills.




We drove on up the road to see some of the great number of ski slopes. Notice the ski lift at the center near the top of the picture. There is a lot of snow to ski on up here! Inside the frame at the right of the picture is a picnic table. Evidently, one could take a sandwich or something an ski down here and enjoy it.
We drove over to the old part of town. The picture below shows the old City Hall built in 1883, which is now on main street.
