Historic Dinner at the Magic Meadows Yurt

Join the Crested Butte Museum for an evening out at the Magic Meadows Yurt for a historic dinner catered by Crested Butte Personal Chefs.

Ski or snowshoe out to the yurt, where you’ll be welcomed by a fire, food, a selection of tasty drinks, and historians.

Enjoy a delicious meal with beer, wine, cocktails, or mocktails, learn about the history of Crested Butte and The Gunnison Valley (specific topic still to be determined), and ski or snowshoe back to the trailhead under the stars and the beautiful moonlit mountains surrounding our valley.
