Telluride’s Lively Festival Scene sets the Stage for a Spectacular Summer Getaway

Nestled in a box canyon in the southwest corner of the state and surrounded by the highest concentration of “fourteeners” in Colorado, Telluride is the crown jewel of the Rockies.

Founded as a mining town in the late 1800s, Telluride’s history is rich and its scenery is undeniably some of the most beautiful in Colorado. The blend of historic architecture, world-class hotels, spas and independent restaurants make any visit unforgettable. Linked by a free gondola, the historic Town of Telluride and European-styled Mountain Village effortlessly blend luxury and sophistication with authentic charm and mountain sprit.

Telluride, many locals will tell you, is a place where people come for the winter, then stay for the summer. Few places rival Telluride’s jaw-dropping vistas, outdoor activities and authentic character—and its designation as the “Festival Capital of the Southwest” means there is never a shortage of activity.
