Crested Butte: Christmas 2025

Our family spent Christmas together in Crested Butte.  A dusting of fresh snow fell on Christmas morning, so that afternoon saw me out with my camera.

Mt. Crested Butte from Kebler Pass
I headed up towards Kebler Pass first, knowing the pass was closed but believing there would be a good view somewhere along the short stretch of road that is open.  Not surprisingly, there is!

I got some great shots along the Woods Walk this past summer, so I thought I'd check it out again.  Right above the parking area seemed like a good place to start.

Again ,not surprisingly, there is a beautiful view to be had there.

I didn't go too far along the trail, even though it was nicely tramped down without being icy.  As over the summer, I like the framing at the end of the aspen grove.

Unlike over the summer, I had low western sun to work with which looked wonderful through the dormant trees.

A short expedition, but a rewarding one!
