7:15 PM LOCAL TIMETelluride sits at the confluence of the San Miguel and Dolores Rivers in southwest Colorado, perched high in the San Juan Mountains. Originally a Victorian mining town, it has leaned into its rugged alpine identity with a compact, walkable core surrounded by steep, glacial-carved terrain. Beyond its historic architecture, Telluride is acclaimed for year-round outdoor recreation — from wakeboarding and mountain biking in summer to powder skiing and snowboarding on Telluride and nearby Mountain Village ski areas. The town's festivals (notably film and jazz) draw international visitors, but the setting rewards exploration — think high alpine hikes, off-piste runs, and serene valley trails. Lodging is concentrated central to the core and in adjacent Mountain Village, with dining and nightlife blending rustic charm and upscale resorts.
