The Perfect "Hike and Hotel" Package - Crested Butte to Aspen to Crested Butte
You heard of the “hike and camp” of course. But why camp out in the cold, dark wilderness when you can achieve some of Colorado’s most challenging and amazing hikes during the day and then come back in the evenings where luxury and comfort await you? The “Hike and Hotel” is the perfect package for guests who have been talking for months about doing the glorious, wildflower-filled moderate hike from Crested Butte to Aspen and back, but aren’t quite certain how to put it all together. Let The Ruby take care of all the details for you!

Start your adventure by falling into complete relaxation at The Ruby of Crested Butte for a two night stay. Check out the adorable historic town and carbo-load at some of Crested Butte’s finest eateries. Wake up on the third day for an early gourmet Ruby breakfast, grab your gear, and a packed lunch full of goodies provided The Ruby, leave your car parked in the driveway, and Dolly’s Mountain Shuttle will pick you up to take you to the West Maroon Pass trailhead. Experience why Crested Butte is the “Wildflower Capital of Colorado” on your day hike to Aspen. (Or depending on if you make the trek in the fall, why we are known for having the best fall foliage in the state!)

Arrive at the end of the trail in Aspen and take the shuttle into town where The Ruby has set up local accommodations for you for two nights. Wake up early the second day and either make a fun loop back to Crested Butte via the East Maroon Pass (a few miles longer, but with a hot springs to stop and soak in along the way) or come back the way you left via the West Maroon Pass where the prettiest wildflowers can always be found.

Once you arrive to the end of the trail in Crested Butte, Dolly’s Mountain Shuttle will be waiting to transport you back to The Ruby for a two night stay where massages and dinner reservations await you to relax and nourish your tired, but euphoric bones.
