Planning a Telluride Vacation
The four-seasons beauty of Colorado makes it an ideal destination no matter what time of year you’re looking to get away. Some people may be spur-of-the-moment weekend trip takers, while others spend weeks or months preparing for the perfect vacation. No matter what kind of planner you are, you’ll want to make sure to make your Telluride vacation to-do list and check it twice so you have everything you need to enjoy your Telluride trip.
What to Bring
What to bring will depend on when you come. Fall and winter months require clothing for cold weather, including snow. Pack your personal ski equipment if possible, too. In the warmer months, you can pack more warm weather clothing, but the thin mountain air may still carry a chill in the evening, so light layers are advised. If you plan on hiking or biking the mountain trails, sturdy shoes are a must as well. You don’t want to forget travel essentials, like cash and credit cards, your passport or ID, plane tickets, and any other documentation you need to travel or once you arrive in Telluride.
Where to Go
There’s a lot to do, just in Telluride. The historic downtown district is a good start. Cozy Mountain Village is just moments away, too.
Top Activities
The San Juan mountains surround Telluride and offer year-round thrills. Winter sports enthusiasts will enjoy skiing and snowboarding. For an ultimate adventure, try ice climbing! After the snow melts, come for hiking or biking. Water activities include whitewater rafting and even floating down the section of the San Miguel River that runs through town on an inner tube.
Top Attractions
There are several can’t miss attractions to visit. Get a stunning bird’s eye view of the area on the Gondola! It’s free, and the 26-minute round trip offers unbeatable views from your seat. In summer, the cabins are fitted with bike racks. In winter, you’ll be able to take your ski and snowboard equipment. For some background on what made Telluride what it is today, visit the historic downtown district, and stop in at the Telluride Historical Museum.
