About
- Book your trip by selecting Aspen Highlands (when you finish your hike, you will be at Maroon Bells. You will need to catch the downhill Maroon Bells bus. The bus takes you into Aspen Highlands. Where that bus drops you is essentially where we will pick you up.) or by selecting Intercept Lot (Turn off to Snowmass- Brush Creek and Hwy 82). Choose a Crested Butte area hotel or address. We do NOT go to the trailhead with this service!!
- Dogs are welcome but must book a seat on the van!
- We try, and often do fill up all spots on the shuttle. If your booking is for less than 6 guests (i.e. 2 guests booking at $90 each, for $180) and there are no other guests booked for your trip, you will be liable for an additional charge that would bring the balance of your trip to $540.
