ACTIVITIES

Telluride Bluegrass Festival

The weekend before the wedding, June 17–20, the couple will be attending the Telluride Bluegrass Festival and warmly invite anyone looking to extend their trip to join them. One of Telluride’s most beloved traditions, the festival brings together world-class musicians and music lovers in a breathtaking mountain setting each summer.

Hiking

You can learn more about each by clicking the trail name below:

  • Bear Creek- an easy 4.5 mile hike that departs from Town and leads to Bear Creek Falls at the top via mellow incline. 

  • Jud Wiebe -a moderate 3.1 mile loop with breathtaking views of the valley; there is a reason this is a local's fave for a quick burn right from Town!

  • Village Trail - a rolling three-mile descent from the Station St. Sophia Gondola terminal crossing ski runs with great views to the west. 

  • Ridge Trail - an easy 1.7 mile trail that takes you from the heart of Mountain Village to the top of the ridge via gentle switchbacks.

  • Hope Lake - a car will be required to access the trailhead, but if you are looking for a day adventure this moderate 6 mile out and back trail will take you to one of Telluride's high alpine lakes. If you are brave, take a dip!

Adventure

The Telluride Via Ferrata is a thrilling cliffside route that allows hikers to traverse the dramatic walls of the box canyon using a harness, helmet, and climbing gear while taking in unforgettable panoramic views of Telluride and the surrounding San Juan Mountains. Information on guided tours and equipment rentals can be found here.


If you're feeling bold, book a 4x4 Jeep ride or try your hand at fly fishing. Either can be booked with Telluride Outside.
