[quote=Anonymous]We have done almost an identical trip in Breck. Crested Butte is a great option. We like to stay in town or Skyland/Buckhorn ranch which is 2 miles outside of town but we rent bikes and the kids can ride bikes. Fantasy Ranch Stables offers trail rides on the mountain and there are a few stables in nearby Gunnison that offer equestrian experiences for kids as young as 3. Three Rivers rafting offers white water rafting family trips even for kids as young as 3. They have a float and dine option where you raft for 1-2 hours to a popular Italian restaurant that’s on the water called Garlic Mike’s. It’s a really beautiful setting and great old school Italian and cocktail bars with views. We go standup paddle boarding at several of the gorgeous lakes within minutes of the town. There are multiple rental places for paddle boards and bikes. There are public tennis and pickleball courts and several airbnbs includes the balls and rackets.There are children yoga classes offered in many studios. There’s a few nice day spas too. We let our children do the Mountain Experience at the base of the ski mountain which included bungee trampoline rides, rock climbing and panning for gold. They will do this all day and you can sit and enjoy a coffee or beer while watching them. The town itself is very quaint and pretty lined with colorful, Victorian homes and unique shops and restaurants with flower box lined patios and is nice to just walk around and have dinner and get an ice cream from Tin Cup or chocolate covered apple from Rocky Mountain chocolates. There is a wonderful book store and toy store the kids enjoy going and picking out something. There are hikes for all levels including toddlers. There is a popular storybook hike that tells a different part of the story at each stop and a children’s museum geared towards kids who are even 3 or 4 as well as a really nice public library with basketball courts and playgrounds. There are also a number of childcare options including drop in date nights at various fitness and yoga studios and the mountain itself has daily camps you can sign your kids up for that they do adventure and nature activities from age 4. Our airbnb includes puzzles and board games, a hot tub and a firepit to make s’mores. Several days a week in the summer the mountain offers free outdoor concerts in the evening. Restaurants you would enjoy with kids are Secret Stash pizza and Public House which is a mountain pub with a kids menu. It’s a relaxing trip and we prefer it to the beach with children now that we have gone a few years. We still go to the beach every year but it’s something different and we tend to spend less than we do in beach towns. [/quote]
