Woods Walk

Route Description for Woods Walk

For those looking for an easy-going adventure from Crested Butte, the Woods Walk is a fantastic route that will take you through some lightly-forested terrain with scenic valley views. In addition to being awestruck by the surrounding mountains, you will also pass by the nearby Peanut Lake, which is a nice place to relax by the water’s edge at the midway point of your hike.

Setting out from the car park along Kebler Pass Road, you will head north across the road and pick up the trail as it leads into the valley. Here, you will pass through some light forest cover and continue on across the open terrain at the foot of the hillside, keeping parallel to the road as you make your way in the direction of Peanut Lake. After reaching the terminus of the route near the Alien Shack Trailhead, simply turn back and take in the natural beauty of your surroundings once more, as you head back to the starting point of your adventure.
