Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory

The Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory is a high-altitude biological field station located near Crested Butte, in the abandoned mining town of Gothic, Colorado. The laboratory offers courses for undergraduate students and provides support for researchers from universities and colleges. It is home to a variety of research areas, including the ecology of the region, climate change, pollination biology, and a long-running study of the yellow-bellied marmot. Visitors can take free daily tours of the historic townsite and participate in kids' nature camps, adult science tours, seminars, and special events throughout the summer
