Activities
To Do
Via Ferrata
Telluride’s Via Ferrata has evolved from underground status to a hugely popular and well-known route. The newly-legal climbing route is technical, breathtaking and exposed on the East end and South-facing wall of Telluride's boxed canyon. We highly recommend hiring a local guide to take you for a more enjoyable, safe, and less stressful experience.

Bear Creek Falls Hike
The Bear Creek Trail is a must-do for those who visit Telluride in summer. The view of Bear Creek Falls is well worth the trek up 1,050 feet in elevation. The beautiful and well-marked wooded trail ends in a magnificent set of waterfalls and an unbeatable view of the town of Telluride.

Jud Wiebe Hike
The Jud Wiebe Trail is a favorite short hike that can be accessed right from town. You will travel through groves of aspen trees, wide open meadows, and see panoramic views of Telluride all the way from Bridal Veil Falls to the Valley Floor.

Bridal Veil Hike
A moderately difficult hike to the tallest free-falling falls in Colorado. At 365 feet in height, these falls entice you to explore the surrounding wilderness. A privately owned, historic power plant sits atop the falls.

Fly Fishing the San Miguel River
The San Miguel is Telluride’s local river, a terrific trout stream with more than 20 miles of public access just west from Town. The San Miguel is famous for well-structured trout habitat and fish that love to eat dry flies. The Telluride Angler can help get you set up with a guide or rental gear if you need.
