The San Juan Mountains provide a variety of terrain for riders of every skill level and ability. Choose from the aptly named “Penelope’s Cruise,” one of the area’s best beginner rides, to more challenging trails that explore old mining roads and basins, winding through colorful wildflower meadows and thick aspen groves high above the box canyon.

Lush wildflower meadows, cascading waterfalls and panoramic mountain views are just a few reasons to grab your hiking poles. Surrounded by an abundance of scenic nature trails, expansive jeep roads and plenty of less-traveled paths, you can choose from a quick afternoon jaunt to an epic summit up a 14'er (14,000-foot peak).

Every spring, Telluride’s substantial snowpack gives way to trickling streams and free-flowing rivers. We have expert-guided rafting trips for every skill level and ability, from those that wind through gentle Class II-III sections of Specie Creek, to the action-packed Class IV-V runs of the Dolores River’s notorious Snaggletooth Rapid.
