This makes our 11th year to visit Crested Butte, Colorado. \u00a0Every year a number of people from Texas (okay, hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people) make their way to Colorado for a short respite from the heat. \u00a0There really is no other place like Colorado with its breathtaking beauty, cool air, and endless outdoor fun.<\/p>\n

Over the next week I’ll post on the following topics to help you plan your next trip to the Rocky Mountains. \u00a0<\/p>\n
