StoryWalk and Nature Bingo

The 2025 StoryWalk® is back up for the season! Enjoy reading a guide to Crested Butte written and illustrated by our own local first graders.

StoryWalk™ is an interactive activity display along the wide path of the Lower Loop trail off Peanut Lake Road. It’s geared towards 3-6 year olds and offers a combination of outdoor adventure with an engaging story. Each summer a new book is chosen to display, and is separated into portions along the trail in order to combine reading, walking and observing the natural surroundings.

StoryWalk™ is brought to you by the Crested Butte Land Trust and the Crested Butte Community School first grade.

The StoryWalk™ Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Vermont Bicycle & Pedestrian Coalition (VBPC) and the Kellogg Hubbard Library.

2026 StoryWalk®

Nature Bingo is a fun way to get outside, explore local trails, and connect with the landscape around us. Participants complete activities and visit different trailheads throughout the season to cross off your bingo squares. Whether you are hiking, biking, birdwatching, or simply enjoying time outdoors, Nature Bingo encourages community members of all ages to discover new places and deepen their connection to conserved lands and trails.

You can print your bingo card for free online or pick one up at the Crested Butte Land Trust office at 411 Third Street, the Crested Butte Museum, the Crested Butte/Mt. Crested Butte Chamber of Commerce, or the Old Rock Community Library. See if you can get bingo or even fill out your whole card!

 Participation in this activity is voluntary. Participants assume responsibility for their own safety while recreating on public trails and are encouraged to help care for these conserved lands by staying on designated trails, respecting wildlife habitat, and leaving natural objects where found.
