About this listen
The 401 Trail is often considered the best ride in Crested Butte, Colorado — and in this episode of Trail Notes, I break down exactly why.
From the steady climb up Gothic Road to the high-alpine singletrack lined with wildflowers, the 401 delivers classic Colorado scenery and a long, rewarding descent that makes the effort worthwhile. I cover trail difficulty, elevation, who this ride is best suited for, seasonal timing, parking logistics, and what to realistically expect from one of the most iconic mountain bike rides in the country.
