{"product_id":"crested-butte-duane-vandenbusche-9780738574431","title":"Crested Butte","description":"Crested Butte rises 8,885 feet above sea level on the edge of the beautiful Elk Mountains in the Gunnison Country of Colorado's Western Slope. Between Crested Butte and Aspen, 25 miles to the north, are six 14,000-foot-high peaks with 12,000-foot-high passes and scenery that takes the breath away. Crested Butte began as a silver camp but soon turned into one of the great coal towns of the West, with a rich ethnic heritage evolved from the mining camps. In the 21st century, Crested Butte is a tourist town of 1,500 residents highlighted by the Mount Crested Butte Ski Area, the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame, and its wonderful wildflower and music festivals. The town today is what it always has been, \"the queen jewel of the Elk Mountains.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Duane Vandenbusche, Crested Butte Mountain Resort, Crested Butte Mountain Heritage Museum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738574430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738574431\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/02\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.32h x 6.54w x 0.30d","brand":"Duane Vandenbusche","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47202666348799,"sku":"9780738574431","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/crested-butte-duane-vandenbusche-9780738574431","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
