Hiking in Crested Butte | Hiking Teocalli Peak
Hiking Teocalli Peak is a steep, challenging adventure to a very rewarding summit! The views from atop Teocalli are truly incredible - extremely beautiful, vast and surprisingly colorful. We had done a bit of hiking in the Crested Butte area but we had yet to experience a Colorado summit. And there are so many trails and peaks to choose from in the area! We were really happy with our decision to hike Teocalli Peak.

Crested Butte Camping (Free!) | Kebler Pass Camping
With the major task of replacing the roof on our travel trailer out of the way, we were ready for some Colorado adventures! And we set off to find free camping near Crested Butte so we'd have a good home base for exploring the beauty in the area. So from our camp spot in Montrose, we headed up to Kebler Pass Road. It was exciting to watch as the scenery transitioned from dry and shrubby to green and mountainous! And we found some great dispersed camping options in the area.
