Getting Here. Our valley is tucked high in the West Elk Mountains of Colorado, right on the border between the central mountains and the southwestern ones. There is no doubt that Gunnison-Crested Butte is harder to get to than quite a few places in Colorado, maybe even most places in Colorado. But the trip is worth it. Nothing beats the drive up Highway 135 with towering mountains in either direction and a wide valley floor filled with snow or wildflowers depending on the season, except for maybe the drive over Kebler Pass in summer or fall.
