Rural Crested Butte

There is much to discover outside the towns of Crested Butte and Mt. Crested Butte. Rural Crested Butte offers a variety of areas and neighborhoods to explore. A few miles north of Mt. Crested Butte lies the ghost town of Gothic, Colorado. In the early 1900’s a Western State Professor visited Gothic and acknowledged that the area had a very diverse ecosystem. In 1928, Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL) was born and is now home to one of the largest annual migrations of field biologists.
