Things To Do
Ride the Gondola!
The towns of Telluride and Mountain Village are linked by a spectacular, 12-minute ride on a free gondola - a must when visiting Telluride! More information here: https://www.telluride.com/discover/the-gondola/
Explore Downtown Telluride
Tons of great shops, restaurants and historic buildings to explore in downtown. Don't miss the Sheridan Opera House and the San Miguel Valley Bank (now the Mahr Building) where Butch Cassidy committed his first bank robbery!
Hike to Bridal Veil Falls
A 2 mile out-and-back hike to the iconic Bridal Veil Falls: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/colorado/bridal-veil-falls-trail--6
Drive Last Dollar Road
Last Dollar Road is a true Colorado gem. This dirt road connects Ridgway to Telluride in the summer and provides unbelievable views of the San Juan Mountains. Don’t miss the clear view of Wilson Peak, recognizable to anyone who’s ever examined the label on a Coors bottle. We took our engagement photos on Last Dollar Road, just a few miles past the Telluride airport. It is a stunning drive even if you just do the first 10 miles outside of Telluride and then turn back. Drive the entire way to Ridgway if you have time! More details here: https://www.colorado.com/articles/colorado-hidden-gem-last-dollar-road
Brown Dog Pizza
The best pizza in town (and in the state in our opinion)! Also it was named after their beloved chocolate labrador ... enough said.
The Coffee Cowboy
Our favorite coffee in town! It's right next to the gondola station so grab a cup of coffee before you take a ride over to Mountain Village!
Smuggler Union Restaurant & Brewery
Great food, local beer, fun atmosphere. A win win win.
Telluride Brewing Co Brewpub & Kitchen
Gotta go to Telluride Brewing! Ana's favorite beer is the Russell Kelly Mosiac IPA and Rich's is the Tangerine Blonde Ale.
Walk along the Telluride River Trail
Beautiful flat path in town that follows the river and provides great valley views. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/colorado/telluride-river-trail
Hike to Bear Creek Falls
A 4.5 mile out-and-back trail that will provide gorgeous valley views and a wonderful payoff at Bear Creek Falls. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/colorado/bear-creek-falls-via-bear-creek-trail
Hike Jud Wiebe Memorial Trail
Another great hike that will give you a birds-eye view of downtown Telluride and the "box canyon"! https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/colorado/jud-wiebe-memorial-trail
