Crested Butte: Elk Avenue

Elk Avenue is Crested Butte's main drag. My last morning there I took the opportunity after breakfast to snap a few last shots on around the street.

Crested Butte: Elk Avenue
The Paragon Art Gallery resides in the original city hall building.

Crested Butte: Elk Avenue
This guy was creepy when I saw him the previous two evenings while in town for dinner.  And I don't believe he had a light bulb in his crotch then.

Crested Butte: Elk Avenue
More inappropriate crotch decorations.  I can't imagine how big this snowman was when he was originally built, given that it had been a couple of weeks since the last snow and he was still this huge.

Crested Butte: Camp 4 Coffee
Camp 4 Coffee is the subject of a lot of photos, with the license plates covering its exterior.  I tried to find an angle less commonly shot.

Crested Butte: Old Rock Community Library
Constructed in 1883, the Old Rock Community Library is one of the oldest buildings in town.  And it has a pretty decent backdrop.

Crested Butte: Elk Avenue
I loved how well-loved this bike looked.

Crested Butte: Rabbit Tracks
Rabbit tracks crisscrossed in the snow near "the bench" above the town.

Crested Butte
The view towards Mt. Crested Butte from "the bench."

Crested Butte
A small warming hut had a window framing Mt. Crested Butte that looked as pretty as a painting.

Terrific town, and a wonderful visit!
