Telluride THINGS WE

ABOUT

BY ERIN SPILLANE

THAT’S THE THING ABOUT TELLURIDE: enchanting discoveries await in and around the box canyon, but quite possibly the most significant discovery is that Telluride and Mountain Village are year-round hubs where each season brings new surprises. Sunny, warm summertime is a delight, with hikes to wildflower strewn meadows, stand-up paddleboarding on an alpine lake or a lung-busting session mountain biking, before a late-afternoon cocktail and live outdoor music. The lazy days of summer give way to the glory of Gold Season in the San Juans, as the greens of summer transition into a dazzling riot of autumnal yellows and ambers. In wintertime, there are the epic snows, skiing, snowboarding, a fun après scene and crisp, starry nights. Springtime follows as the snows retreat, leaving the foliage that cloaks the lower flanks of the surrounding mountains bursting into life. Telluride has an abundance of riches, to be sure. And, when you think you have experienced all that this place has to offer, it reveals a little more, just to make certain that you know that you’re in a wonderful, unique place. Time to truly discover Telluride? Absolutely!

Splendid Summers 8 telluridesothebysrealty.com

As the San Juans shed their winter whites, summer in Telluride reveals a verdant landscape where hiking and biking trails wind through sundappled groves of aspen trees, waterfalls cascade, wildflowers colorfully carpet high-alpine meadows and the sun shines high in the bluebird sky that Colorado is famous for. Telluride might be best known for its skiing and snowboarding, but summertime here is an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise, with options for hiking, biking, standup paddleboarding, fishing, golfing, climbing and more.

Resort Adventures With the snows a distant memory and the sun high in the bluer-than-blue Colorado sky, head to Mountain Village and the Telluride Ski Resort for incredible summer adventure options. First, there’s the resort’s Bike Park, a professionally designed, liftserved course with undulating trails that spiral downhill through the glades and meadows of the resort. And, the resort’s Canopy Adventure, which takes participants through a course of ziplines, aerial bridges and rappels, promises a memorable time for the entire family. Add in a network of hiking and biking trails, a wealth of fun activities in the Village Center and amenities like Elks Lake, and it’s easy to see why Mountain Village makes for a perfect summertime basecamp.

Sound of Music

MELISSA PLANTZ ©

Love music? Telluride and Mountain Village do too. A wealth of venues, ranging from the historic Sheridan Opera House to sleek, modern spots like the Michael D. Palm Theatre and Club Red, as well as intimate spaces in local bars, give music lovers a wealth of year-round options. Come summertime, it’s all about Telluride’s uberpopular festivals: Bluegrass, the Ride, Jazz Fest and the Blues & Brews Festival, plus a sprinkling of smaller gatherings, including the long-running Telluride Chamber Music Festival. All summer long, Mountain Village plays home to live, free outdoor music.

SCIENCE CLASS

This community is a hub for STEM. The popular Pinhead Institute promotes STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education in area youth via engaging after-school activities, summer camps and a prestigious summer internship program. Since 1984, Telluride Science, the largest independent molecular science center in the world, has hosted thousands of the world’s most eminent scientists, including a number of Nobel prize winners, here in Telluride. Visiting scientists collaborate, discuss and investigate in a relaxed, supportive environment, an approach that has led over the years to significant breakthroughs across a variety of disciplines.

LIV TIP “Our boys love the Pinhead Institute’s classes and camps. They are a great way to stimulate the mind, often with outdoor activities like Bridge Camp.” — Peggy Raible, LIV SIR VP & Managing Broker

Creative District Telluride was one of the first towns to be named a Colorado Creative District, a nod to the work of the pillars of the local arts scene: arts council Telluride Arts, which has promoted the arts in the area for 50 years, as well as the Ah Haa School for the Arts, Telluride’s beloved center for arts education. Get your summertime culture fix with the Telluride Theatre’s Shakespeare in the Park, held on the Town Park Stage in July, or head to Telluride Arts’ historic Transfer Warehouse. Set for a makeover, the open-air venue hosts live performances of music and more. And don’t miss Telluride’s Art Walk, the first Thursday of each month.

FARM TO TABLE

Organic, regional and sustainably produced food is abundant in the box canyon. Local restaurants are at the forefront of the fresh food movement, sourcing from farms and ranches all along the Western Slope. It’s also easy to eat just as well at home thanks to local farmers’ markets — Wednesdays in Mountain Village, Fridays in Telluride — and fruit and vegetable stands in Telluride’s Spruce Park, as well as delivery services that range from simple CSA baskets to full-service grocery drop-off. Now, a number of businesses are even composting their food waste, with the rich composted material heading back to — you guessed it — regional growers.

MELISSA PLANTZ ©

The Telluride and Mountain Village dining scene is a mecca for foodies with highly professional chefs and inventive and delicious menus that rely on ingredients sourced sustainably and regionally. The result? A well-regarded center for gourmands with fabulous and fun restaurants sure to satisfy a wide range of tastes, occasions and budgets. This summer, there are abundant opportunities for outdoor dining on sunny patios, lively decks, numerous parks perfect for a picnic and, in Mountain Village, vibrant plazas and the creative use of offline Gondola cars.

Spend any amount of time outdoors in and around Telluride and you’ll surely spot some of our most esteemed neighbors: Elk, black bear, lynx, deer, beaver, hawks, coyotes and mountain lions all call the area home. Remember, though, to respect these wild creatures by keeping a respectful distance, not feeding them and securing trash.

Making History

Telluride’s history, which stretches back to the late 1800s, is equally parts fascinating and quirky. For instance, did you know that Butch Cassidy robbed his first bank here? In 1889, the iconic outlaw made off with over $20,000 from the San Miguel Valley Bank (then located in the Mahr Building, which still stands at 129 W. Colorado Avenue). And, Telluride is the first place in the world where alternating-current (AC) electricity was used. The feat, which owed its success to local entrepreneur and mine owner L.L. Nunn, took place in 1891 at the Ames Power Plant west of town. The Telluride Historical Museum is a great place to explore this history, and was itself the site of another strange chapter from Telluride’s past: The building that houses the museum used to be a hospital and was the location, in 1949, of a self-appendectomy. Yep, a local physician removed his own appendix without mirrors or anesthetic, apparently the first and only procedure of its kind. This summer, the museum will pay tribute to the ski resort with an exhibit entitled “The Long Run: 50 years of the Telluride Ski Area.”

MELISSA PLANTZ ©

The Free G Telluride’s iconic Gondola is free and connects Telluride and Mountain Village via a unique and scenic 13-minute journey. This one-of-a-kind public transportation system carries 3 million passengers a year (more than 50 million since it opened in 1996) and is disabled-, pet- and stroller-accessible, and has bike racks on each car. According to the Town of Mountain Village’s website, it would take 21 passenger buses operating on the 7.2 miles of road between the two towns to maintain the G’s capacity of 1,070 people per hour.

Love the Library

MELISSA PLANTZ ©

With a remarkable collection of books, DVDs, music, oral histories and more, programming for all ages and nontraditional loan items like karaoke machines, costume kits and snowshoes, the Wilkinson Public Library is a welldeserved national award winner among libraries. A bumper sticker frequently seen around town says it best: “Came for the skiing, stayed for the library.”

Close-knit Community

SCHOOL MATTERS

The Telluride School District is tops in the State of Colorado. Currently ranked no. 2, the local school district has occupied either first or second place every year since the Colorado Department of Education began rankings over 10 years ago. Both Telluride High School and Telluride Middle School figure amongst the best in national and state rankings. The area is also home to Telluride Mountain School, an independent school for student pre-K to 12.

Astounding Architecture

Sure, it’s known for skiing and snowboarding in winter and fun summertime festivals, but Telluride is a community first. Small, friendly and laidback, Telluride somehow manages to balance these smalltown attributes with highly regarded dining and arts scenes worthy of any big city, all underpinned by a love for the stunning outdoors that surround us and for the people — friends and neighbors, community leaders and colleagues — who call this very special place home.

LIV TIP "We have so much 'family' (of choice) here! In the past couple of years we have become even closer to our neighbors and friends. We call ourselves the Meadows Mamas!" — Hilary Taylor, LIV SIR Broker

A National Historic Landmark District, Telluride, which was founded in 1878, offers one of the highest concentrations of Victorian-era architecture in the United States. Mountain Village and the surrounding mesas form the perfect setting for mountain modernand rustic-style homes, serene and spacious retreats that blend seamlessly into their natural surroundings.

Geographically Blessed

With the highest concentration of 13,000- and 14,000-foot peaks in North America, Telluride’s mountain surroundings are stunningly beautiful. They also boast the tallest free-falling waterfall in Colorado, 365-foot-tall Bridal Veil Falls at the east end of the box canyon, and, to the west of town, Wilson Peak, a stately fourteener that makes up the Coors logo.

Unique Shops The local retail scene is home to a wide range of independent, funky and locally owned boutiques and shops, giving locals and visitors alike a wealth of opportunity for some retail therapy or simply finding the perfect gift. Art galleries add to the wonder of it all by exhibiting the work of local, as well as nationally and internationally known artists, including some truly one-of-a-kind finds.

KIDS RULE IT!

Telluride and Mountain Village are a playground for kids of all ages. Our summertime favorites include hiking, paddleboarding and fishing, a ride on the Gondola, visiting the award-winning library or panning for gold at the Telluride Historical Museum’s mining sluice. Head to Mountain Village for a bungee trampoline, outdoor movie nights and more.

Tee Time The Telluride Golf Club offers a 71-par, 18-hole course that meanders west from the Meadows ski run and boasts unforgettable views of the surrounding peaks. The club also has a putting green, practice facilities and pro shop. An added bonus? Tee off in Telluride and your ball will go 15 percent farther thanks to the high altitude, although those stupendous views, along with the occasional wildlife sighting, make it hard to keep your eye on the ball.

Winter Adventures

Home to the world-class, awardwinning Telluride Ski Resort, the area is a true winter wonderland where alpine skiing is the most prominent — but not the only — element of the area’s wintertime adventure mix. Nordic skiing, snowmobiling, ice skating, ice fishing, and more, mean that when the snow flies, this stunningly picturesque corner of the San Juan Mountains is the place to be.

LIV TIP “You can't beat alpine skiing in Telluride, but this past winter I tried cross-country skiing for the first time and loved it. Priest Lake has amazing trails and it's dog friendly.” — Allison Moore, LIV SIR Broker

But tied for first, he admits, is the decadent outdoor shower, cleverly placed just outside the shower in the master bath. It’s also a tie for Hannah, whose professional life has focused on education reform and who currently serves locally on the board of Telluride Academy and as treasurer of the Telluride Education Foundation. She loves the kitchen, a sleek but warm family gathering spot that forms the heart of the home, as well as the loft where her office is located.

OUT to LUNCH

JOSH BOROF TELLURIDE MOUNTAIN CLUB PRESIDENT

A CONVERSATION ABOUT THE MOUNTAINS & MORE — BY ERIN SPILLANE — In chatting with Josh Borof, it’s hard to disentangle his own story with that of the beautiful backcountry that surrounds his adopted hometown of Telluride. After all, the outdoors and all they have to offer are what brought the California native here in the first place. Borof in turn has given back to the natural surroundings that he loves with decades-long service, primarily with the Telluride Mountain Club. After just a few minutes, the chicken-and-egg-like aspect of the 30-year relationship between the man and these mountains becomes apparent, so we start at the most logical point: the beginning.

“... as a family we went camping and rafting and kayaking and rock climbing and skiing together and this shaped our kids’ love for the outdoors.” Recalls Borof, “I was at Humboldt State University and I wasn’t

the mining company that owns much of the surrounding land. In 2019, Borof and the mountain club approached Idarado again, this time with the aim of securing access for a then-conceptual Bridal Veil Trail. The relatively new Idarado supervisor was not able to provide a permanent easement, so Borof and his colleagues pointed to the existence of the older renewable lease agreement and used it as a template to secure access for the new route, which opened in 2020. “Probably number one in terms of what we have to offer the club these days, both Tor and myself, is that we have been around a long time, we have been doing this a long time, and we’re here to help.” About 10 years ago, the club turned its attention to a fresh priority: the area’s trails network. Says Borof, “It’s obvious. I mean, pretty much every recreational opportunity starts with a trail.” Here, the partnerships developed over the previous years with area stakeholders, including the Towns of Telluride and Mountain Village, the County, the USFS and the Telluride Ski Resort, came in handy. “Here in these mountains, there are so many different entities whose lands a single trail might travel through. Our goal is to be the organization that brings these different owners together.” Now, with a number of trails in the Telluride Mountain Club pipeline and our conversation winding down, Borof says that he feels profoundly grateful for this mutually beneficial relationship with these mountains. He also muses on raising two children — Wiley, 18, and Skylar, 15 — who are as at home in the outdoors as Josh and wife Wendy, who owns and runs a Pilates studio. Wiley starts college in the fall and recently completed a trip with his dad kayaking the Grand Canyon section of the Colorado River, while Skylar is going to Ottawa for the summer to kayak, before starting sophomore year at Telluride High School. “I didn’t want to push them in any one direction in terms of what they wanted to do, but as a family we went camping and rafting and kayaking and rock climbing and skiing together and this shaped our kids’ love for the outdoors,” Borof says. “I guess they could have said that this totally sucks and they were moving to New York City.” He pauses and laughs. “But somehow that never happened.”

HIKING & BIKING With so much to explore in Telluride, it can be hard to know where to start. The endless options for adventure can be overwhelming, which is why we’ve done the leg work for you (well, most of it, you’ll still need to hike or bike!). Here are a few of our favorite trails, ranging from family-friendly outings to classic challenges, so whether you’re on a bike or on foot, we’ve got the perfect trail for you, and a tip or two to help you along the way.

SNEFFELS HIGHLINE 12.4 MILES

A Wilderness Challenge Sneffels Highline is a challenging and rewarding adventure. This scenic loop starts and ends at the Jud Wiebe Trail located in the heart of downtown Telluride. Rated as a hard trail due to its length, but more so its elevation gain, Sneffels Highline climbs over 3,380 feet in elevation as you traverse your way through gorgeous wildflower meadows and experience sweeping views of the San Juan Mountains. Despite its difficulty, its spectacular views and convenient location make it an incredibly popular trail. Pack your hiking bag for a full-day adventure and take in all that this high-alpine hike has to offer.

alpine ADVENTURES AWAIT

TIP If you’re looking for a lower mileage adventure, hike Sneffels Highline from the trailhead to the saddle separating Pack and Mill Basins, which is only an 8-mile round trip hike.

JURASSIC TO VALLEY FLOOR 7 MILES

Scenic Tour from the Village to Town Starting in Mountain Village and ending in Telluride, this leisurely 7-mile ride should be completed as follows for a fun adventure: start on Country Club Drive and drop into Jurassic Trail, which flows through beautiful aspen trees and eventually feeds out onto Adams Ranch Road. From here, you’ll ride downhill on Meadows Trail, a single track that brings you to the bottom of Lawson Hill. Spin your legs on a few hundred-yard stretch of the bike-friendly Highway 145 to connect with the River Trail. Meander along 4 miles of the Valley Floor’s River Trail to finish in historic Telluride and celebrate your short and sweet bike adventure. To make this a complete loop back to Mountain Village, hop on the free scenic gondola with your bike and enjoy the 13-minute ride back to the heart of the Village Center. TIP Stop by Telluride Brewing, located conveniently in Lawson Hill, for a mid-bike local brew! 26 telluridesothebysrealty.com

PROSPECT TRAIL 10 MILES

Bike Park X-Country Trail Starting at 10,540 feet in elevation at the San Sophia Gondola Station, Prospect traverses across Telluride Ski Resort, under Lifts 4 and 5, and eventually climbs up to Lift 10 before descending to Heritage Plaza in Mountain Village. Once you’re finished with this singletrack adventure, you’ll have conquered 10 miles of trail, 800 feet of climbing, and over 1,000 feet of fun, flowing downhill. While this is one of Telluride’s most talked about trails, it is not for everyone. Rated as a difficult black trail, Prospect requires stamina and commitment, but its challenge is well worth it with beautiful views of the resort and surrounding peaks, not to mention bragging rights upon completion. A Telluride Bike Park season pass or day ticket is required to enjoy this tempting trail which opens July 1. TIP If you are looking for an even longer challenge, add Jurassic to Valley Floor and finish the 17+ mile ride in the Town of Telluride. Or, add the 5+ mile Magic Meadows which ends at Hwy 145 near the Alta Lakes Road. From there you'll ride the highway back to Mountain Village (uphill), or leave a shuttle car at the pullout.

BRIDAL VEIL ROAD 4 MILES

Colorado’s Tallest Free-Falling Waterfall Walking on a 4x4 road, this hike is just under two miles to the top of the Bridal Veil Falls, making it close to a four-mile round trip hike that rises 1,650 feet in elevation as you navigate the road and switchbacks. A moderate trail for hikers of all ages and abilities, Bridal Veil Falls is a very popular attraction due to its accessibility, awe-inspiring views, and significance. You’ll enjoy panoramic views of the 365-foot waterfall from the top of the falls, just underneath a historic power plant built in 1907 which still supplies renewable energy. Multiple trails lead to the falls, be sure to select the trail that is right for you, as many of the trails (including the new Bridal Veil Trail that brings you to the bottom of the falls) are significantly more challenging than this four-mile 4X4 trail. TIP Once you get to the falls, you can continue for a full day of adventure and hike up Bridal Veil Basin to Blue Lake, a gorgeous high alpine lake, or go even farther to Lewis Lake and Mine. Along the way to this final hiking point, you’ll pass historic remanents of the area’s rich mining history and experience beautiful mountain views decorated with quintessential Colorado wildflowers.

Property Showcase Founded in 1986 and incorporated in 1996, the town of Mountain Village was inspired by the ski villages of Europe, with a center comprised of sunny, cobblestone plazas, architecture suggestive of the Alps and a vibe that is at once elegant and friendly. The town sits amidst the Telluride Ski Resort at around 9,500 feet above sea level and consists of over 2,100 acres of land. Full-time residents number around 1,300. The town offers a mix of condominiums, fractional ownership (condos and homes), residential homes, sprawling mountain retreats and developable lots. The town’s hub, the Village Center, is home to a variety of restaurants and stores, as well as office space, luxury hotels, homes and condominiums, typically situated around one of the European-style village plazas. The Village Center hosts the Gondola’s Station Mountain Village, which connects to Telluride, as well as Lifts 1, 2 and 4 on the Telluride Ski Resort. The resort’s main offices, ticket offices, ski and snowboard school, nursery and more are based here. The Village Center also boasts the Telluride Conference Center, two skating facilities, outdoor fire pits and seating, a climbing rock and equipment rentals. Condominiums dot the center and are considered well-located with ski in/ski out access to the mountain and an easy stroll to the Gondola. Away from the charming Village Center, wooded boulevards wind up and around the ski resort. In the area adjacent to Lift 10-served terrain, San Joaquin Road and Benchmark Drive are winding streets with a mix of condominiums, town homes, sprawling estate residences and yet-to-be-developed lots. Ski runs weave around these neighborhoods, providing immediate access to the slopes. North and west of this area includes stretches of the Telluride Golf Club, as well as Adams Ranch Road, Double Eagle Drive and Russell Drive, where many of the homes sit alongside the golf course or high-alpine meadows. The more open, expansive terrain here translates into stunning views of the surrounding peaks. Throughout Mountain Village there remains a wide selection of lots and development parcels available for purchase. The Town’s well-thought-out Comprehensive Plan recognizes the importance of space, tranquility and extraordinary views and seeks to protect these qualities while promoting Mountain Village’s sense of community. Lots have been carefully planned to give owners the best access to the ski resort, balancing this with privacy, quiet and views. Maps of Mountain Village can be found on pages 48-49.

Property Showcase The charming town of Telluride, designated a National Historic Landmark District, sits snugly near the end of a picturesque box canyon surrounded by majestic 13,000and 14,000-foot peaks. Just a mile and a half long and six blocks wide, the town has a population of approximately 2,200. Downtown is a menagerie of colorful Victorian homes, delectable restaurants, independent boutiques, art galleries, outfitters and more, and includes iconic structures like the San Miguel County Courthouse. In Telluride, nothing is ever more than a 10-minute stroll away, whether you are walking or biking. In winter, access to the slopes is easy: Lifts 7 and 8 and the Gondola are all based in town, just a few easy blocks from main street, and the Galloping Goose buses are outfitted with racks for skis and snowboards. With high-performing local schools; the nationally recognized Wilkinson Public Library, which has incredible programming for all ages; and the much-loved Telluride Town Park, with its ballfields, playgrounds, festival stage, pool, ice rinks, skate park and more, it’s easy to see why Telluride is an extraordinary place to call home. Homes in Telluride range in size and style from quaint, carefully restored Victorians to modern homes designed to take advantage of the stunning views and Colorado’s 300-plus days of sunshine per year. Opportunities exist to find single-family homes a stone’s throw from main street that offer jaw-dropping views of the northern flanks of the ski resort, of Ajax peak, which looms over the end of the box canyon, or into stunning Bear Creek Canyon. In the east end of the box canyon, the lot sizes are bigger and the keywords in this neighborhood are serenity, silence and scenery. Town is approaching build-out and vacant lots are rare. Telluride has approximately 45 condominium complexes. Some are located in the west end of town along the San Miguel River and offer easy access to Lift 7. Others are located eastward along the river, making main street and Town Park convenient. Downtown, there are opportunities for well-located penthouses with decks that overlook main street and benefit from a bird’s eye view of truly spectacular scenery, as well as smaller complexes. When looking at property in the town of Telluride, some factors to consider include: proximity to the Gondola, the lifts and main street; views; neighborhood type; historic designation and zoning. A map of the town of Telluride can be found on page 60. RYAN BONNEAU ©

Property Showcase Within 10 miles of Telluride and Mountain Village are a variety of neighborhoods that offer additional privacy and serenity, as well as gorgeous views and regular wildlife sightings, including Aldasoro Ranch, Gray Head, Last Dollar, Sunnyside, (all located on Deep Creek Mesa); and Elk Run, Raspberry Patch, Ski Ranches, The Preserve, and West Meadows (all located on Turkey Creek Mesa). These wide-open areas feature building sites that range from 1 to 35+ acres and a variety of resale homes. Each subdivision typically has its own homeowners’ association and guidelines, and many offer additional amenities. Further outside Telluride and Mountain Village, several stunning, sun-drenched mesas offer the very same qualities of privacy, serenity, expansive and beautiful vistas and wildlife, making for an idyllic Western lifestyle. Depending on location, most of these properties are a 30- to 45-minute drive away from the two towns on a combination of well-maintained paved and gravel roads. There are historic ranches that were homesteaded by early settlers, and other ranchlands that have been subdivided into parcels of 35 acres or less to form subdivisions. Most of the subdivisions have been developed with electricity, gas, telecommunications and county-maintained roads and offer both resale homes and the opportunity to build a dream Western retreat. The region’s mesas include Hastings, Horsefly/Iron Springs, Specie, Sunshine and Wilson. Two outlying towns that offer community living and slightly warmer winters are Norwood and Ridgway. Norwood, about a 40-minute drive from Telluride, offers large-acreage parcels and homes in addition to a quaint western downtown. At 7,000 feet above sea level, Norwood is horse and ranch country at its best, with its annual rodeo a highlight. Often referred to as the “Gateway to the San Juans”, Ridgway, north of Telluride, is set in the Uncompahgre Valley and offers a mix of Old West and a funky arts scene. It’s also a close-knit community with a picture-perfect downtown, several subdivisions, plus properties on adjacent Log Hill Mesa. Nearby towns include Ouray, 10 miles away, and Montrose, 25 miles away. South of Telluride and Mountain Village are a number of mountain towns and subdivisions including the tiny, historic town of Ophir, nestled in a stunning valley south of the ski resort; the community around pretty Trout Lake, which is one of the most photographed lakes in the United States; and the former mining town of Rico. Surrounded by National Forest, today Rico adeptly mixes a love of outdoor pursuits with a historic past. Heading south is the 38-mile long Dolores River valley which culminates in the town of Dolores. For maps of the region, see pages 72-73.

PETITE MAISON ON WEST PACIFIC

Sushi, French Cuisine, Coffee and a Wine Bar The local dining scene is thriving with scintillating new ventures alongside familiar favorites. Kazahana is a new Japanese restaurant located in a freshly renovated space on East Colorado. The brainchild of a team that includes local restaurateurs Josh and Melissa Klein, Kazahana’s thoughtful, authentic menu includes nigiri, sashimi, sushi and rolls, as well as an omakase bar. Then there’s Petite Maison, formerly LittleHouse, and still in the hands of highly regarded local chefs Ross Martin and Erich Owen. With the talented chef Will Nolan onboard, the team will focus on contemporary French haute cuisine. Petite Maison still occupies the LittleHouse space on West Pacific, and the re-defined restaurant will be a waited, dinner-only service this summer. Coffee aficionados will be happy to hear that the much-loved Telluride establishment Coffee Cowboy, owned by Hailey Arnold and Scott Keating, has only moved as far away as the Oak Street Gondola Plaza, where it has a new perch beside Station Telluride. In Mountain Village, head to Communion Wine Bar located in the Franz Klammer Breezeway. Run by a seasoned team of wine experts — Winston and Cameron Kelly, Oulli Durham and Dustin Clements —Communion offers a full bar service, a highly curated selection of wines and a light bites menu.

Green Local Governments The towns of Telluride and Mountain Village, along with San Miguel County, have launched eco-friendly initiatives aimed at promoting sustainability and green practices. The County, in partnership with the State of Colorado, is installing on-site solar photovoltaic and battery systems in its facilities to reduce carbon emissions, and save on energy costs. The Town of Telluride has put the finishing touches on an update to its Carbon Action Plan and is looking at ways to further reduce single-use plastics. And, the Town of Mountain Village has multiple programs underway to encourage composting, smart building practices and the switch to solar panels, as well as new environmental efficiencies and grants coordinator to oversee this clever stuff. A win-win for our beautiful natural surroundings and for innovation.

Telluride is served by two airports, Montrose/Telluride Regional Airport (MTJ), 66 miles away, and the Telluride Regional Airport (TEX) located just outside of town. For summer 2022, Montrose offers direct service to and from five cities, while Telluride offers direct service to Denver and Phoenix. LIV Sotheby’s International Realty is proud to commit a percentage of revenues to support the Colorado Flights Alliance, an organization that secures local flights from several metropolitan airports.

Helping Hand for Homebuyers

Since 2002, the Telluride Association of Realtors’ First-Time Homebuyers Assistance Fund has given locals a helping hand when purchasing their first home. The initiative was established to increase housing opportunities within the Telluride region and sees participating brokers donate a portion of each closing to a fund that in turn is used to help first-time homebuyers with closing costs.

TRANSFER WAREHOUSE

Busy Nonprofits and Exciting Projects Telluride Science and Telluride Arts are busy, busy this summer. Telluride Science, the largest independent molecular science center in the world, has launched phase two of an exciting renovation project that will transform the historic Depot building on South Townsend into the Telluride Science & Innovation Center. Fundraising continues with work expected to begin this autumn. Want to support this important endeavor? Visit telluridescience.org. Meanwhile, Telluride Arts, the local arts council, has been working to restore the historic Transfer Warehouse, the roofless structure at Pacific and Fir, to serve as a community cultural center. In 2018, Telluride Arts purchased the building and undertook work to shore it up. Now, Colorado Creative Industries has awarded the project a $3 million grant and Olson Kundig Architects has released designs for both indoor and outdoor arts spaces. To support this exciting project, visit telluridearts.org.

Attention Shoppers In Telluride, Rustler Supply sells western fashion from its new store on West Colorado. The store — located in the old San Miguel Valley Bank— features boutique clothing for men and women, home goods, jewelry, knives and a “vintage vault.” The unique store is co-owned by Telluride native Macy Pryor (of Crossbow Leather) and Rebecca Adams. The pair aims to fill the store with items handmade by artisans as often as possible. In Mountain Village, activewear label Free People Movement has opened an outlet in the Madeline Hotel and Residences. This summer, look for yoga gear and more, perfect for warm-weather

J O HN BU RC H M ORE

The beauty of Telluride is all around us all the time, but my most favorite, magical moments are the ones that are fleeting — tranquil hours dry-flying on the mighty San Miguel River in August, riding trails of golden aspen leaves in the fall, full moon skates on the Beaver Pond on clear and crisp winter nights and perfectly timing the rope drop on Gold Hill on a powder day.

Telluride offers one of the best music scenes. Anywhere. Ever. In the summer, there are music festivals every month, including Bluegrass in June, The Ride in July, Jazz in August and Blues & Brews in September. There is always awesome music at local music venues, like the historic Sheridan Opera House, trendy Club Red in Mountain Village, or outdoors at the Transfer Warehouse, a true community hub. Throughout the summer you can find free outdoor shows in both Telluride and in Mountain Village!

We like to head up Ajax or Whipple Mountain in early evening for a charcuterie picnic dinner. We then hike down under the brilliance of the full moon. I really enjoy a good full moon! Another fun activity is grabbing some takeout from Siam and driving up Tomboy Road for dinner al fresco overlooking Town Park, with a music festival in full swing below and alpenglow lighting up the surrounding peaks.

FANTASTIC FOURTH EX P LORE ON FOOT SUP SPECIAL HI L ARY TAYLOR

PEG G Y R AI B LE

TE D D Y E R RI C O

Several years ago, a group of about half a dozen local families started a tradition to come together for three nights during the Fourth of July holiday to camp in Town Park. Seem silly to leave the comfort of our beds to camp in our own town? Maybe, but our young kids all love being together. Each morning, we wake up and walk to Baked in Telluride for red-white-and-blue donuts and much-needed coffee. We laugh together, hang out by the river in the heat of the afternoon, grill and celebrate. We create memories we will cherish forever.

Get out and explore your neighborhood hiking! Unlike other destinations, there’s no need to get in your car or rally for parking. Meet your neighbors on trails close to home and walk or bike from any address in town. Or Mountain Village, Ski Ranches, Aldasoro ... you get the idea. Your community and Telluride Mountain Club have done an outstanding job of improving and linking trails throughout the area.

For a truly special summer afternoon, rent a locally made SOL Paddleboard (with paddle and life jacket too) and paddle the San Miguel River from the parking lot at the base of Lift 7. Travel 3-plus miles downriver and pull out at Society Turn for a short walk to the Telluride Brewing Company where a delicious, award-winning IPA awaits you. Remember to bring a change of clothes (in case you fall in the river) and don’t forget to look back for amazing and expansive views of the box canyon.
