Take a historical journey through the winter wonderlands of Gunnison Valley with renowned historian, Duane Vandenbusche. Our journey begins over a hearty breakfast at the Almont Lodge where participants explore Almont’s beginnings. Next, participants travel to the town of Crested Butte – a small community of winter enthusiasts whose character and history is as deep as the snow pack on Mount Crested Butte. Guided by Duane’s narratives, participants visit the Crested Butte Heritage museum as well as the JC Leacock gallery. Our journey leads us up the mountain to Mountaineer Square for a sack lunch and a discussion where participants catch a rare glimpse into the history of the ski area. After the discussion, participants can join Duane for Part 2 of our journey or elect to explore the ski area and the town of Mount Crested Butte before returning home.
