This tasting tour through Gunnison, Gothic and Crested Butte, with a few activities in between meals, will give you a glimpse of life in these special mountain towns in southwest Colorado.
There are special places and unique vistas around nearly every Colorado corner. You can help ensure these places exist for generations to come by staying on roads and trails, keeping speeds in check, leaving campsites and picnic spots just as you found them, and following instructional signs while you’re out and about in our state.

Enjoy the area's only dinner cruise – Rocky Mountain style! Start out at Three Rivers Resort and enjoy a scenic float trip on the Gunnison River to Garlic Mike's Restaurant.
There’s nothing like the view from the top of Mt. Crested Butte. On a bluebird day, you can gaze down on the town of Crested Butte, look out toward the old town site of Gothic (a mining camp turned research area) or take in the entire Gunnison Valley.
Hike around or bring your mountain bike to do some exploring after your top-of-the-mountain lunch before taking the chairlift back to town for dinner.
Close to Crested Butte, the trail to Judd Falls is a popular choice for visitors with its mellow profile and short distance. It offers great views of Gothic Mountain along with wildflowers and a waterfall destination.
Our meals are prepared from scratch by a dedicated staff of culinary magicians serving either a meat or a vegetarian option buffet style. The public is welcome to dine with RMBL scientists and community members.
Brush Creek trail is straightforward and offers expansive views most of the way from the start.
The I Bar is situated on a 10-acre converted hay meadow, 250 feet off of the Tomichi Creek at the base of W Mountain in beautiful Gunnison. Have dinner at the ranch while you're there!
