Telluride Colorado Travel Information
One of Colorado's most famous destinations, Telluride is a historic
mining town that has become a popular center for festivals and skiing.
Located in a box canyon high in the San Juan Mountains, there is no
denying the striking beauty of the snow-covered peaks and pine forests
that surround the town. It's easy to see why it has become a
fashionable hangout for the rich and famous. Access to Telluride is
via nearby Mountain Village just off the highway. To cut down
pollution and congestion, a free tram carries people between the two
towns. Mountain Village has a number of services such as parking lots
and a golf course which wouldn't fit in the small valley where
Telluride is located, leaving the limited space there free for period
homes, art galleries, gourmet restaurants, and all manner of shops.
During summer months the streets are filled with attendees of music,
art, and film festivals; something is going on every week in the
bustling town. Telluride is in southwest Colorado, about 120 miles
southeast of Grand Junction and 200 miles southwest of Denver. For
