Gunnison/Crested Butte Colorado Family Activity Guide
Winter 2006

Once You've Got the Babysitter

Parenting is a full-time job and all jobs require breaks. Line up a professional caregiver for your little ones and plan some time for yourselves. Our Babysitting section has information on child care. Need some suggestions for what to do?

Spend the day skiing, boarding, nordic skiing, snowshoeing, or driving a snowmobile on the advanced trails.

How does a romantic night under the stars sound? Moonlight tours originating from the Crested Butte Nordic Center offer a chance to ski or snowshoe under the full moon. A fee of $15 includes snacks, hot drinks and a guide. 970-349-1707

Prefer a night on the town instead? Have a gourmet dinner at one of our many fine dining establishments. The Timberline Restaurant offers New American Cuisine in an intimate atmosphere. View their menu at www.timberlinerestaurant.com. Le Bosquet offers gourmet country French food with an award winning Wine Spectator wine list. The Lobar offers tapas, world class sushi (that is also available by delivery), and a fun hipster atmosphere. At 10 p.m., the Lobar makes the switch from sushi lounge to modern dance club with the best drink menu and DJs in town. The Ginger Café is cozy and has interesting spicy food.

Gunnison fine dining includes Garlic Mike's three miles north of Gunnison which is "worth the drive" according to The Denver Post. Try Josef's located at the Best Western Hotel east of town, and The Trough for dinner and dancing. Another choice is The Brick Cellar.

Does your body need a break for the day? Call Abracadabra Massage 970-209-1707 for mobile traditional, Swedish, or Thai massage. A Day at the Studio Spa offers wraps, waxing, massage, and a variety of other pampering services at 970-275-1271. Clear Rivers offers a variety of skin care options with state of the art equipment. Call 970-349-2138 for an appointment. All of the above offer gift certificates which make an excellent gift for your spouse. Want to work out in a real gym? Call The Gym at 970-349-2588 for daily, weekly, monthly and yearly membership rates and class schedules.

Need to freshen up your dance moves? Dance lessons offered by Nancy Church are offered Sunday nights from 7-8:30 p.m. in Jerry's Gym in the CB Town Hall. Learn a new dance every two weeks, including ballroom, salsa, samba, swing and the waltz. $10 per person. Call 970-209-7799 for more information.

Check local papers such as The Weekly and The Gunnison Country Times for live music, art shows, theatre, and other local entertainment in Crested Butte, Gunnison and at Western State College.
