About

Happy Hour is a short, steep trail in Mt. Crested Butte connecting the Westside area near the Evolution Bike Park to the Upper Loop. The trail spans approximately 0.7 to 0.9 miles with an elevation gain of roughly 300 feet. It is rated as difficult for uphill hikers due to the steep grade, though it serves as an easy downhill route. The path is multi-use, sharing the trail with mountain bikers, so hikers should remain alert for traffic. Parking is available at the trailhead. The trail is accessible year-round.
