After visiting Crested Butte in the fall, it is one of my favorite locations in Colorado. The winding drive over Kebler Pass from downtown Crested Butte down into the Gunnison Valley is a dream for photographers. A short drive over to Marble, CO took us to the trail that leads to the ghost town of Crystal. It was a cold and windy hike to Crystal Mill. Luckily, the icy rain held off until the last quarter mile of the hike back to the car when we were forced to run up the muddy 4x4 trail.
