Question

WHAT IS THE WEATHER LIKE IN TELLURIDE IN JULY?

Answer

Telluride is known for its mountain lifestyle so casual comfort is key. The temperature could change from warm during the day to cooler temperatures in the morning and evening. So we recommend bringing layers of clothing so you can adjust your comfort throughout the day as needed. July is the rainy season so pack an umbrella for those potential afternoon showers which often result in gorgeous rainbow and sunsets.

Question

ALTITUDE CONCERNS WHILE IN TELLURIDE

Answer

The town of Telluride is situated at 8,750 feet. Mountain Village is even higher with accommodations between 9,400-10,000 feet. This means there is 30% less oxygen in the air in Telluride than at sea level. We recommend staying hydrated. Even before you leave home, be sure to drink lots of water! Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) should also help. Please call the Telluride Medical Center, (970) 728-3848 if you are worried about your symptoms. It is important to not ignore any of these symptoms.
