Deer Creek is one of the longest and challenging rides in Crested Butte. Starting from town and going counter clockwise it wraps around Mt. Crested Butte. There are many options for this ride, and this is just one. The track takes you up Tony's and onto Upper Loop. You then drop down on Brush Creek Road. Once behind Mt.
