Activities
Hiking
Telluride has some incredible hikes! Some are accessible walking from town, but some of these you’ll need to drive/Uber to.
Camping
Alta Lakes (our absolute favorite!!)
Telluride Town Park Campground
You’ll need a car to get to Alta Lakes and Sunshine Campground, but not Telluride Town Park Campground.
Paddleboarding & Kayaking
This site has links to rental places and recommendations for where to go. Again we love Alta Lakes!
Within A Two Hour Drive
p.s. you probably recognized Half Dome in Yosemite National Park (unfortunately not within a two hour drive of Telluride) in the pic at the top. This was 6 miles in to what ended up being a 19 mile day, hiking a full loop of the southern side of Yosemite Valley including 4-Mile Trail, Panorama Trail, and the Mist Trail. Tbh the hardest part of the day was getting up again after post-hike beers and walking to the car.
