Make a weekend of it
Telluride is one of the most beautiful places on earth in summer. Here are our favorite spots to eat, explore, and unwind while you're in town.
Eat & drink
A special-occasion spot with mountain views and a tasting menu. Reserve ahead.
Great burgers, local beer, and a patio — perfect after a hike.
Our go-to for morning coffee and pastries before adventures.
A cozy après spot with craft cocktails and live music some nights.
Intimate, romantic, and beloved by locals.
The perfect afternoon pick-me-up on Main Street.
Get outside
Summer is wildflower season — the meadows are unreal. Don't miss it.
Colorado's tallest free-falling waterfall. A scenic hike or drive to a jaw-dropping view.
Ride between town and Mountain Village for the best views in the valley — and it's free.
Wildflower-lined hikes right from town for every fitness level.
For thrill-seekers: a guided cliffside route or a 4x4 tour up to old mining basins.
Massage and altitude-recovery treatments in Mountain Village.
Drop-in classes to start your morning right.
A relaxing soak is a short drive away in Ridgway or Ouray.
Settle in, stroll Main Street, easy dinner in town.
Morning hike or gondola, afternoon spa, then welcome dinner.
Leisurely morning, then ceremony, cocktails & reception at Allred's.
Easy brunch before heading home (or extend your stay!).
Before you pack
June days are warm (60s–70s°F) but nights drop into the 40s. Bring a jacket and a wrap for the ceremony.
High-altitude sun is strong. Pack sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat.
Telluride is walkable and a little rugged. Bring sneakers or boots for exploring.
The altitude is no joke — water bottle in hand, go easy the first day.
