PLAY AT HEAVEN'S DOORSTEP...

“Awesome” will take on a new meaning for you in Telluride! With 13,000 and 14,000-foot peaks surrounding you, there are spectacular views wherever you go.

All you have to do is step out the door and you’re in a backyard of adventure with mountains of fun to explore. Reeling in native trout, hiking the Jud Wiebe Trail and many others, jeeping to a waterfall or soaking in a mineral bath all include mountain views of massive proportion. Are you ready for your daily dose of adrenaline? Then let’s get started!

Giddyup!

Play cowboy for a day and get a true taste of the Wild West. Ride through shimmering aspen forests and alpine meadows framed by mountain peaks powdered with snow.

Balloon Rides

A rousing way to start the day!

Turn Back the Clock

Telluride is a National Historic District so, if you love history, take a fascinating self-guided tour and don't miss our incredible Historical Museum!

Go Fish!

The streams, rivers and lakes around Telluride are an angler’s dream, teeming with rainbow, brown, brook, cutthroat and golden trout, enticing to the avid fisherman and novice alike.

Glider Riding

From your launching pad atop the mesa at the Telluride Regional Airport, you can silently glide like an eagle over Telluride and the glorious San Juans.

Paraglide to a Rocky Mountain High

Experience the next best thing to having wings as you soar high above the Telluride valley with an experienced USHGA Tandem instructor. Adrenaline junkies can launch off the top of Gold Hill at the ski area summit with a 3,500+ descent and catch a bird’s eye view of towering peaks, plush alpine mesas and the historic town of Telluride during a paraglide ride

Golfing in the Most Beautiful Place You'll Ever "Tee"

It’s not just the spectacular views from one of the highest (9,300 ft.) alpine golf courses in the country that will make your spirits soar - golf balls also fly 15 percent farther than at sea level!
