Woods Walk
Nestled in the aspens, just steps above the Town of Crested Butte, the Woods Walk is our most popular event site. It is also our own winter venue option. In summer and fall, a single track trail leads you on a short walk through the woods from the Kebler Pass Road. Crested Butte Mountain sets the backdrop to this site, where summer’s wildflowers grow tall and fall’s golden aspens dance around you.
To reach the Woods Walk in the winter, you will cross a groomed ski trail that is maintained by Crested Butte Nordic. All guests are required to either use snowshoes or cross-country skis to get to and from the site. We also suggest that you contact CB Nordic to notify them of the date of your wedding and consider providing a donation.
Resting on the shores of the lake, the Peanut Lake event site is open, with grasses, willows. Located just off of Peanut Lake Road. Stunning, 360-degree views await, with a serene lake in the foreground. Note: Peanut Lake venue is not available in winter and usually melts out around June 15.
If a site site appears on the calendar, it is already booked for that date; only one event per venue site is allowed each day. For example, if you see a reservation for Woods Walk on a certain date then that date is no longer available for that venue. If your date and event site are available, please continue to steps 3 and 4 to complete your reservation contract and payment. The calendar is updated as soon as reservations are confirmed.
Step 3: Reserve Your Special Day
Step 4: Submit Payment
A $2,000 payment is required at the time of booking for scheduling an event venue, $500 of which is a refundable deposit to ensure the property is left in a clean and natural condition; you will receive a tax donation receipt letter for a $1,000 donation. The property will be inspected by the Land Trust after the gathering to determine, at its sole discretion, whether the deposit shall be refunded. If for any reason the event is cancelled, there will be a $250 non-refundable administration fee. If the cancellation is within 24-hours of the event, we are unable to offer any refund.
