Upper Westside to Crested Butte Reviews

If you are in crested Butte, I would suggest taking a tram partial summit to Mount crested Butte, 12,162 feet elevation. Just make sure that you acclimate to the environment as it does get pretty hard to breathe when you get higher into the mountains. Bring snacks bring water and make sure that you bring your mentally set mind for this hike. Also, make sure you wear proper shoes and bring sunblock. I would definitely come back here. I thought the view was quite spectacular. Next time I think I will bring a hat.
