Local time UTC-6Checked 0 viewsHDNature

This camera looks out over Elk Avenue toward the Butte, the rounded peak that gives the town its name. It is a quick way to check how the mountain looks and what the conditions are like in this high-altitude Colorado town before you head out.

A mountain town at altitude

Crested Butte sits in the Elk Mountains of western Colorado at roughly 2,700 metres above sea level. It is known for its historic mining-era main street, its colourful Victorian buildings and its strong mountain-biking and skiing culture. The town is a designated National Historic Landmark district, and the surrounding peaks shape a landscape that changes quickly with the seasons.

What to watch on the camera

The view is centred on the Butte and the street below it, so the sky and the mountain profile are the main features. Depending on the view, you may see snow on the peaks in winter, green slopes and wildflowers in summer, and changing light across the day. Clear mornings and late afternoons are often the most rewarding times to look at the mountain.
