About East River

Crested Butte's backyard river. Wild cutthroat, rainbow, and brown trout in a high-altitude freestone stream flowing south from Gothic through Crested Butte to Almont, where it meets the Taylor to form the Gunnison. Fewer crowds than the tailwaters, excellent caddis and PMD hatches mid-summer.
