Experience Level
This workshop is accessible for all levels!
Fitness Level
Easy to Moderate
This workshop includes relatively minimal walking; most sessions take place at the Historic Train Depot (716 Elk Ave). For any outdoor activities, expect short walks outside on easy trails. Participants should be comfortable walking up to about one mile at a time over uneven ground. The main physical consideration for this event is elevation. Crested Butte sits at a high altitude, and even modest exertion can feel more strenuous than expected. Participants should be prepared for mountain weather, uneven terrain (sturdy shoes), and the effects of elevation.
