BEST TELLURIDE HIKES

A wide variety of hikes, from family- and wheelchair-friendly to difficult treks. Includes detailed comments, route descriptions, driving directions, maps, elevation gain, difficulty rating, estimated time of the hike, round-trip distance, and nearest landmark. Fits in your pocket or daypack and features color photos and maps throughout the book. The Best Telluride Hikes continues the series of best-selling pack guides published by Colorado Mountain Club Press since 2008. The trails range from the scenic and wheelchair-accessible Idarado Legacy Trail, which provides a window into Telluride’s past with its educative plaques, to the challenging Bilk Creek Basin Trail in the Lizard Head Wilderness, known for its picturesque waterfalls. All of the hikes in this guide are within an hour’s drive of Telluride, offering options in and around town and close to towns like Ouray in the northern San Juans. Each hike showcases the beauty of Colorado, from Lizard Head rock spire to Bridal Veil Falls, Colorado’s tallest free falling waterfall.
