Telluride Live

About

Telluride Walking Tours runs small-group guided walks through downtown Telluride. The history tour takes about an hour and covers less than a mile, stopping at landmarks and side streets from the 1800s for stories from the mining boom and the town's Wild West days. There's also a sunset ghost tour, plus food walks such as a taco tour and a dessert tour.

Beyond town, the company leads guided hikes, including one to Bridal Veil Falls, and in winter it runs snowshoe and Nordic ski tours. Any scheduled tour can be booked as a private tour, and private tours for 1 to 10 guests can be arranged.

When to go

Tours run in every season, and the company says they fill up quickly in summer and winter, so book ahead. The history tour's listed start time is 10 to 11:15 am; other tours are on the online calendar. Tours go rain or shine unless the weather is extreme.

Good to know

Town tours check in at Elks Park, across the street from the courthouse at 305 W Colorado Ave. For snowshoe and Nordic ski tours you'll need a car; the meeting spot is shared after you book, and gear rental isn't included.

All ages are welcome, and kids 6 and under go free with an adult. The sunset ghost tour suits ages 7 and up, and longer hikes suit ages 10 and up.

The history tour is wheelchair accessible, with one uphill block. The dessert tour and gallery walk are listed as not wheelchair accessible, so ask before you book. In winter, wear shoes with good tread.

Well-behaved dogs can join some tours, so ask first. Cancel at least 48 hours ahead for a full refund.
