The 6 Best Other Outdoor Activities in Telluride, Colorado (CO)
Nestled in the towering San Juans, Telluride offers visitors abundant trout fishing and hiking opportunities in summer, plus downhill and cross country skiing in winter. One of the world's most beautiful ski resorts, this former gold rush town has been popular with skiers since the '70s. Walk, catch free shuttles or soar to 9500 feet on the Mountain Village gondola. Appreciate the area's history and beauty at Telluride Historical Museum and Bridal Veil Falls, Colorado's longest free falling falls.

We had the most amazing trip up to Imogene Pass with our tour guide Andrew! He was a terrific driver and local historian. We also appreciated that he was safe wearing a mask for our protection during COVID. Definitely recommend hiring a professional for that d drive!!

Booked San Juan Outdoor Adventures as guides for a Via Ferrata trip in June of 2020. Honestly could not recommend these guys more! Chris was our guide and he really put in the extra time to explain everything from the trail to the gear (they provided) to any helpful tips along the way. We also had the added benefit of Josh (one of the owners who helped build the Via Ferrata) who tagged along with our group just to make sure the path was properly maintained and as safe as it could be. Both of these guys were very professional and extremely supportive. It really helped turn a fear of heights at the beginning of the trip into more of a cautious respect for them over time which really helped me enjoy the magnificent scenery and turned this adventure into a breathtaking experience. Well worth the price for an unforgettable afternoon! Would recommend good hiking boots/climbing shoes and or gloves in addition to the equipment they provide.

I went in this past week to see about a new pair of ski boots. Samantha worked with me for about an hour to get a pair that fit perfectly. She is an excellent boot fitter. She took the time required to get the right boot, listened to my feedback on each pair I tried, and was very knowledgeable. As a result, I have the best fitting boot I have ever had. I will never buy ski boots anywhere else. As an aside, I have had nothing but positive experiences with Boot Doctors for a snowboard and snowboard boots, skis, and in the summer, mountain bikes and bike repairs. I highly recommend this store.

We had an amazing day taking in the beautiful sights of Bridal Veil Falls and the town of Telluride from 600 feet above while traversing across the cliff face on the Telluride Via Ferrata! It was an unforgettable day, and the highlight of an amazing week in southern Colorado. We used Peak Mountain Guides and our guide, Spence, was awesome! I highly recommend doing this if you are an adventurous soul!
