Hiking

During the summer season, hiking is a popular activity in the greater Telluride region due to its diverse terrain that offers a variety of trails suitable for all skill levels. Whether you’re looking for a quick afternoon hike or a multi-day excursion, there are plenty of scenic nature trails, expansive jeep roads, and less-traveled paths to explore. In addition, hikers can summit a 14,000-foot peak (14er) for an even more exhilarating experience.

However, weather conditions can change rapidly in mountain locations, so it’s essential to be prepared before setting out on a hike. Hikers are encouraged to carry water, sunscreen, a first aid kit, appropriate trail maps, and extra layers for hikes of all durations. Additionally, bug spray is recommended during the summer months.
