Telluride Live

About

Telluride Adventures, which also goes by San Juan Outdoor Adventures, is a guide service at 223 E Colorado Ave that builds custom trips for families and groups of all ages. Summer trips include rock climbing, the Telluride and Ouray via ferratas, hiking, mountaineering, mountain biking and backpacking. Winter brings ice climbing, backcountry and Nordic skiing, fat-tire biking, snowshoe tours, avalanche classes and hut trips. The company picks you up at your hotel or home.

Kids 6 to 12 can join a three-day summer camp, Monday through Wednesday, with a day each of rock climbing, outdoor games and art, and nature hiking. A half-day kids' climbing session runs on Thursday mornings. Ice climbing trips go to Ames Falls, Cornet Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and the Ames Ice Hose, with all technical gear and transportation included.

When to go

The via ferrata runs from spring through fall, the kids' camps run every week through the summer, and ice climbing is a winter trip. Camps run 9 am to 3 pm each day and fill up quickly, so sign up early. If you want to book within 72 hours of your trip, call to check availability.
