There are fairly frequent cases of moose spottings in the Crested Butte area, especially in the summer. They tend to like places that have wetlands, ponds or lakes, and especially willows. I have been trying to spot one for years, to no avail. The Cottonwood Pass area is probably the best local option for viewing moose, and I am always hearing reports of numbers of moose up there.
To fulfill my desire to finally see a moose, I headed up to Walden, CO. It is located near the norther border of the state with Wyoming, and there are roughly 600 moose or so that frequent the area. For large creatures, they are not that easy to find. However, I was fortunate enough to finally see 2 bull moose, in separate locations up near Walden. They are magnificent to see walking around, eating a herbivore diet, without much of a care since they have few predators. It was well worth the trip and I hope to see more moose in the Crested Butte area.
