Before you pack

Local Tips & What to Bring

Layers

June days are warm (60s–70s°F) but nights drop into the 40s. Bring a jacket and a wrap for the ceremony.

Sun protection

High-altitude sun is strong. Pack sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat.

Comfy shoes

Telluride is walkable and a little rugged. Bring sneakers or boots for exploring.

Hydrate

The altitude is no joke — water bottle in hand, go easy the first day.
