Telluride, Colorado Mountain Activities & Recreation

With an active arts culture and a newly built Michael D. Palm theatre for the Performing Arts, ballooning and whitewater rafting, there’s something for everyone in Telluride. Catch trout in the kids fishing pond in town, drop by the skate and bike park, play a round of disc golf or take a hike into the Bear Creek Trail and escape civilization entirely.
Telluride is also home to festivals every weekend during the summer including the Telluride International Film Festival, Mushroom Festival, Telluride Blues & Brews Festival, Nothing Day festival and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival.

Telluride is world famous for its mountain slopes and fun in the snow, without the perceived pretensions of Aspen. Snowmobiling, sledding, tubing and snowshoeing accompany the traditional skiing and snowboarding for those eager to play in the snow. Festivals run year round to keep you busy between running the mountain and navigating the snow. If outdoor adventure isn’t your cup of tea, visit the Michael D. Palm Theatre for the Performing Arts or indulge in one of the many museums and delve into the days when Butch Cassidy robbed the bank in town.
