About this city
Also known as: To Hell You Ride
Telluride is a world-renowned luxury resort community sequestered in a deeply carved, glacier-formed box canyon in the southern San Juan Mountains. Originally founded in 1878 as a chaotic gold and silver mining camp named Columbia, its wonderfully preserved Victorian historic district now contrasts gracefully with high-speed ski gondolas, elite international cultural film festivals, and staggering alpine topography.
