Telluride, Colorado

Old mining town in a box canyon with a free gondola, festivals and a pretty main street.

Cost

Victorian buildings line a flat main street with peaks on three sides. A free gondola links the town to Mountain Village, a fun ride even if you do not ski. There are good restaurants and a big Saturday farmers market in summer.

Good to know

  • Parking is tight, use the free lots at the edge of town
  • The gondola is free and open most evenings
  • Summer festivals book out accommodation
