For years, my cousin tried to convince me to visit Crested Butte.
I wasn’t sold — until she mentioned, offhandedly, that even Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had spent time there.
That little detail made me curious.
But what I discovered had nothing to do with celebrity mystique.
I found a small town as charming as it is vibrant. A kind of summer that feels undiscovered. A place that doesn’t need hype.
Most people know Crested Butte as the “Last Great Ski Town.”
What they don’t know is that it’s also the Wildflower Capital of Colorado.
