On our way up to Crested Butte, the altitude of the town is about 9000 feet.
This is Main Street, lots of restaurants and shops. It booms in the summer with hikers and bicycles and winter with skiers. Fun place to visit.
On the way back down from Crested Butte we pulled off to see what goes on at the hatchery. A worker toured us around the indoor building where they hatch and rear the rainbow trout to 1 year, then transfer them to out door tanks. He gave Nita a box of fish food pellets to feed the larger fish.
The water was clam till the pellets landed then the feeding frenzy started. The yellow tape around the edge of the tanks is an electric fence to keep the bears out, without the fence the bears crawl right in the tank and stuff themselves
