COME FOR THE VIEWS, STAY FOR THE STORIES Hello, and welcome to the Official Visitor Guide to Telluride & Mountain Village. Our goal in creating this guide is to offer a glimpse into what we think makes Telluride and Mountain Village a special place, and to share how you can experience it thoughtfully and authentically.

In this edition, we’ve curated stories that capture the people, places, and traditions that make Telluride a magical summer destination. Our cover story explores a key component of local culture — one rooted in boots, spurs, and grit — spotlighting the ranching heritage that still shapes this valley.

That legacy continues in the life-changing work of Grace Reins Equine Therapy, a wild horse rescue where the horse–human connection becomes a path to healing. We close our Western thread with a winter teaser on local skijoring champion Lang Schuler, who shares what it’s like to get pulled behind a horse on skis and what’s next for the sport locally.

Beyond the saddle, this edition shares the story behind the Floradora, a family owned restaurant with a 53 year history, and a guide to local, farm-fresh products — from high-altitude bread made with oldworld baking techniques to organic veggies grown at 6,000 feet. We also share stories from musical artists who have returned to Telluride year after year to our iconic outdoor festival stage.

Whether you come for the music, the trails, or the mountain views, we hope this guide inspires a deeper connection to Telluride. Our team is here to help make every moment count.

Thank you for choosing Telluride and for making time to get to know our culture and our community.

I hope to see you at a festival, on a summit, or somewhere along the way.

he connected communities of Telluride and Mountain Village have their own distinct character and attractions, yet come together to form an alpine playground linked by a free aerial gondola.

TELLURIDE A National Historic Landmark District, Telluride is a town with stories to tell. Originally a 19th-century mining camp — and the site of Butch Cassidy’s first bank robbery — its streets still echo with history. Today, those same streets are lined with lovingly preserved buildings that now house delicious restaurants, eclectic boutiques, welcoming bars, and world-class art galleries. The town’s rugged roots and creative spirit give it a charm that’s both authentic and dynamic.

MOUNTAIN VILLAGE Perched at 9,545 feet and surrounded by some of Colorado’s tallest peaks, Mountain Village feels like a European alpine getaway. Purposefully designed with open, pedestrian-friendly plazas; elegant lodges; and stunning mountain views, it’s home to upscale accommodations, luxury spas, fine dining, tasting rooms, and walkable activities for all ages.

The Mountain Village Center is located at the base of Telluride Ski Resort, adjacent to Telluride Golf Club.

TELLURIDE STATION South Oak Street, Telluride 8,750 feet

THE GONDOLA Linking these two communities is the iconic gondola — the only free public transportation system of its kind in the U.S. This scenic 12-minute ride offers panoramic views and effortless access between towns. It’s also wheelchair accessible, pet friendly, and a green mode of transportation. Tip: Watch for the red or white cabins — special editions commemorating the gondola’s milestone anniversaries.

No matter which cabin you catch, riding the gondola is a must-do experience.

A FAVORITE TELLURIDE TALE CENTERS ON A LOCAL COWBOY NAMED ROUDY, WHO WOULD RIDE HIS HORSE STRAIGHT INTO THE NEW SHERIDAN BAR ON MAIN STREET AND ORDER A DRINK WITHOUT EVER DISMOUNTING. IT’S THE KIND OF STORY THAT SOUNDS LIKE LOCAL LEGEND, BUT HAPPENS TO BE ENTIRELY TRUE.

22

telluride.com | 855.421.4360

Brett Schreckengost

Roudy’s story is one of many that remains embedded in local culture. But long before a cowboy and his horse saddled up to the bar, the area was inhabited by the Uncompahgre Utes, who traveled to the Telluride area in the summer to hunt. The Utes’ millenia-long annual

migration to the region was first disrupted by the arrival of miners and early ranch families, and ultimately ended in 1881, when they were forcibly relocated by the U.S. Army.

The miners were the next to go — albeit by choice — when the mining boom faded.

The ranchers, who supplied the miners with meat, wool, and hay were also affected. Gorrono and Adams Ranch were sold and eventually developed into present-day Mountain Village and Telluride Ski Resort.

(Today, an 1800s cabin from the historic Gorrono Ranch remains at the on-mountain restaurant that bears its name.)

However, some local ranches endured, adapting to preserve both their land and their livelihoods. Today, these ranching families play a vital role in open space conservation and thoughtful development. With roots stretching back generations, they carry a living legacy of local history. These are their stories.

SCHMID FAMILY RANCH est. 1882

T

he oldest remaining familyowned ranch in the county is Schmid Family Ranch, formerly the Wells-Champlin Ranch.

The 900-acre property west of Telluride on Wilson Mesa was homesteaded by James Wells in 1882. Today, over 140 years later, it is home to Wells’ great-great-great-greatgranddaughter, Kayla Brack, and her family, who are the seventh and eighth generations to live on the ranch. The property is owned by Brack’s grandfather and great uncle, brothers Marvin and Sydney Schmid.

Brack spent a lot of time on the ranch as a kid “picking wild berries and making jellies and pies, or just eating them fresh” along with “learning how to fix things that broke and not just running straight to town to replace it.”

Telluride may be less than 30 minutes from the ranch by car today, but back in the 1950s, when Marvin and Sydney and their siblings were coming of age, getting to town was an allday adventure.

As Marvin tells it: “Trips to Telluride required the use of horses and sleds in the winter months to get to our pickup, which was parked down on Bear Creek [Big Bear Creek] at a much lower elevation. … When we reached the parked pickup, the horses were tied to the back of the sled which had hay for them to eat while we drove into town. The kids had to ride in the back of that pickup covered in blankets and the family dog was balanced on the running board.”

Stories like that, along with those that happened much, much earlier, will continue to live on in family lore. The entire Schmid Family Ranch was put through a conservation easement in 2005 that will forever protect it from development.

Today, the property still functions as a working ranch, with 25 head of sheep, 80 mother cows, horses, and a full hay operation. The family also makes their own lumber from trees harvested and milled on the ranch. Telluride Wranglers operates out of the Schmid Family Ranch, offering wagon and trail rides all summer long, and part of the property serves as a venue for weddings and hunting parties.

“All of the properties around us have been split up and sold. That is why we decided on a conservation easement,” said Sydney, one of the owners. “It is our desire to share the land with others while maintaining a bit of privacy.

We like to maintain the heritage of ranching and farming.” >>

" THE KIDS HAD TO RIDE IN THE BACK OF THAT PICKUP COVERED IN BLANKETS AND THE FAMILY DOG WAS BALANCED ON THE RUNNING BOARD.” — Marvin Schmid

ead west of Telluride and look north and you’ll see Deep Creek Mesa, a broad tabletop above the highway with some of the area’s best views. These views have been a hallmark of home for five generations of Aldasoros, a family of heritage Basque sheepherders from Spain. Their story began in 1926, when Jose Joaquin Aldasoro, along with his brother and cousin, began purchasing land outside Telluride to graze sheep. Over time, Aldasoro Brothers Ranch blossomed into a 5,000-acre sheep operation that housed between 3,000 and 5,000 head of sheep at any given time.

When Joaquin passed away, the ranch was handed down to his heirs. His son, Albert

Aldasoro, became managing partner of Aldasoro Brothers Ranch and raised his three daughters — Pam, Angie, and Cristine — on the property with his wife, Yula Mae. “We had two crops: lamb and wool,” recalls Pam (Aldasoro) Bennett, one of the three daughters. Ranching was the family’s livelihood until she and her sisters reached young adulthood. By the early 1990s, however, the ranch was heavily mortgaged and facing serious financial hardship.

“I happened to be working for the developers of Mountain Village and realized that thoughtful development was what was going to save the ranch,” Bennett says. “I came home and said, ‘Daddy, we have to consider some kind of development or we are going to lose everything.’”

WHERE YOU CAN RIDE, TOO There are three outfitters that lead horseback trips into the ample open space surrounding Telluride, including one that operates on the historic, familyowned Schmid Family Ranch.

TELLURIDE WRANGLERS

Right: Josh King/Telluride Wranglers

To preserve at least part of their heritage, the family made the difficult decision to subdivide and sell portions of the land, including a parcel that now houses the Telluride airport.

The family retained roughly 750 acres, now known as the “Old Sheep Ranch.” Today, all three sisters live on the property, where sheep and cattle still graze each spring, summer, and fall. “The livestock come up in the spring after they’ve lambed or calved and stay all summer,” Bennett explains.

The fourth generation of Aldasoros, the children of Pam, Angie, and Cristine, are shaping the next chapter of the Aldasoro legacy.

Several of them own and operate Telluride Sleighs & Wagons, which welcomes visitors to the ranch to experience its history firsthand.

The family also hosts weddings and community events and has supported the local outdoor community through land donations, including access to the climbing wall along the highway and the Deep Creek trailhead, which connects Deep Creek Mesa to Telluride via the Mount Sneffels Wilderness.

One of the best ways to experience the historic Schmid Family Ranch is by booking a trail ride with Telluride Wranglers, which operates out of the ranch. The outfitter also runs multi-day Cowboy Camp and Pack Trips and wagon rides through the ranch followed by dinner.

TELLURIDE HORSEBACK ADVENTURES

BAKER RANCH HORSEBACK ADVENTURES

To meet the man behind the horse-in-thebar story, book a horseback ride with Roudy at Telluride Horseback Adventures. The trips run through a historic homestead in Norwood (45 minutes outside Telluride) and include plenty of time in wideopen space with wide-open views.

Baker Ranch is around 30 minutes west of Telluride near the town of Placerville.

Horseback journeys here take place on a private estate surrounded by national forest land. The outfitter offers one- and twohour rides.

Book a horseback ride with one of our local outfitters.

In Telluride, the story of the land includes tales of the Uncompahgre Utes and miners, but it may be most alive in the history of the ranching families who still live here today. These families and the land they call home act as an enduring legacy to an era that shaped this valley and a promise that it will remain open and familyowned for generations to come. telluride.com | 855.421.4360

Enjoy the simple thrill of summer in the San Juan Mountains

WILD SUMMER DAYS

OFF-ROADING During the region’s mining era a string of roads were carved into the San Juan Mountains. Today, those same routes offer access to the high country, traveling over mountain passes, through ghost towns, and up to high alpine meadows filled with wildflowers.

Favorite destinations include Imogene Pass and Tomboy, an old mining camp. Using a local guide adds to the experience.

BIKING

For a full list of adventure guides, go to page 99.

The region provides a striking backdrop for road and mountain bikers, with a variety of terrain for all abilities. Mountain bikers will find challenging trails that explore old mining roads and mountain basins, as well as moderate trails on former railroad tracks. The highdesert trail networks in Norwood and farther west are another great option. Road biking is popular along the scenic San Juan Skyway.

Sava Studios

FISHING Telluride is a year-round fishing paradise, with unique fishing experiences throughout the region. From the easily accessible San Miguel River to the many area ponds and lakes, there is a fishing adventure for everyone. Local guides know the ins and outs of the area’s rivers and streams, offering guided tours and invaluable advice about flies and water complexities. telluride.com | 855.421.4360

27

ROCK CLIMBING The area’s climbing routes include jagged peaks, boulders, and extensive wall faces that provide a variety of climbing and bouldering opportunities for all abilities. For those learning the sport or seeking local know-how, a number of guide services are available, and local maps, information, and gear can be found at sports shops. The Telluride Mountain Club reminds adventurers of all levels that many routes, in particular the via ferrata, require technical ability and appropriate gear.

HORSEBACK / WAGON RIDES Horseback riding in the San Juans is a favorite memory-maker for families.

Riding through aspen groves and alpine meadows on horseback is the ultimate Old West experience.

Outfitters offer guided daytime outings, half-day trail rides, and overnight trips. For more, see page 25.

HIKING / RUNNING Trails weaving through the mountains offer hikers a quick jaunt to a nearby waterfall or the chance to spend the day exploring high-alpine terrain, uncovering old mining ruins, and admiring vibrant wildflowers. The region’s trail system has extensive options for a range of hiking levels. Before any hike, consult trail descriptions and a map, check the weather, and be prepared with layers, water, and sunscreen. Remember to take care of our backyard by disposing of pet waste and trash properly, and avoiding single-use plastics, which are more likely to be left behind than reusables.

RZRs are compact recreational off-road vehicles with options for one, two, or four riders.

They offer a nimble way to explore the mountain passes.

Telluride Outfitters offer tours of the backcountry for both first-timers and experienced four-wheelers, with activities to suit all tastes and levels. Buckle up and have a blast.

TOWN PARK

WATER SPORTS As the snow melts, area lakes and rivers become playgrounds for rafting, kayaking, and tubing with vistas that are second to none.

Local outfitters take paddlers on half- or full-day excursions through class II to III+ rapids.

There is also SUPing (stand-up paddleboarding), a great way to soak up the sun while getting a workout. If that sounds like too much effort, grab an inner tube and float leisurely down the San Miguel River from town park on a summer afternoon.

BASE CAMP MOUNTAIN VILLAGE

Located at 9,545 feet above sea level, Telluride’s high-alpine twin town is a hub for summer activity

Telluride Town Park is home to family fun in a beautiful setting. In the summer, you’ll find a campground, softball and soccer fields, tennis courts, a skate park, the Imagination Station playground, a pool, and more. Lower Bear Creek Falls can be accessed from the park, which is also the venue for many of the town’s festivals.

HIKING TRAILS

This summer, Telluride Bike Park operations are temporarily paused in order to complete the modernization of Lift 4. During the project, hiking trails and cross-country biking trails through the resort, including those in Prospect Bowl, will remain open and can be accessed free of charge.

The gondola’s San Sophia Station is a popular starting point for a network of routes that connect to U.S. Forest Service land.

Hiking routes wind their way around Mountain Village and the surrounding slopes. A favorite is the Ridge Trail, a two-mile intermediate route that offers hikers two options with varying degrees of difficulty. You can ride the gondola to San Sophia Station and hike the Ridge Trail down to the Village Center, or you can hike the same route uphill to San Sophia Station, which connects with more challenging trails.

CANOPY ADVENTURE

Spend the afternoon exploring the kid-friendly activities that dot the Mountain Village Center. There’s a bungee trampoline, a disc golf course, and a small fishing pond. For more kid-friendly fishing, meander over to Elk Lake near the gondola’s Market Plaza Station. The Telluride Racquet Club, on the grounds of The Peaks Resort & Spa, offers tennis and pickleball for more fun in the sun.

Ready for an adrenaline rush?

Try this course of ziplines, aerial bridges, and rappels that crisscross over Telluride Ski Resort. Reaching a maximum height of 140 feet above the forest floor and with zipline traverses as long as 1,800 feet, this fully guided, ticketed tour takes about three hours and offers unforgettable vistas and thrills. For more, see page 35.

GUIDED BY GRACE, LED BY HORSES Grace Reins Equine Therapy is where rescued wild horses and seeking humans find healing E MILY S H O FF

t the heart of Grace Reins Equine Therapy, a nonprofit ranch based in Placerville, is empathy.

Empathy for the mustangs, an emblem of the West. And empathy for those who come to Grace Reins looking to find stillness and meaning in a fast-paced world.

Erin Cain, who founded the organization in 2020 with her husband, Joe Crilly, and is also a writer and an activist, is humble when she speaks about the value of her work: “We just hold the space — the horses do the healing.” Yet, what Cain facilitates can be life changing.

The ranch is a refuge for wild mustangs that Cain and Crilly have rescued from uncertain futures. It is also a safe space for people seeking peace and healing. Through contemplative time with horses, Grace Reins brings wholeness to those in need.

“Horses are a mirror for us to see our truest selves, offering the most tender environment to

A

experience this kind of remembering,” Cain says.

Her work takes a variety of forms, ranging from individual clients and women’s retreats to summer programs for kids at Telluride Academy. People of all kinds walk away with a greater understanding of the horses and of themselves.

The process starts with a bit of matchmaking; Cain chooses a mustang that fits the needs and energy of the individual. Then, the two meet in an outdoor arena. The process is slow and gentle, involving soft hellos, petting, and sometimes grooming. “It’s an experience that allows people to reconnect with themselves in a very gentle way.

It’s tactile, a gentle bonding with this big beautiful animal that is welcoming you into their space,” shares Cain.

The power of horses is found in their electromagnetic heart space (or the energy a heart emits). Humans are said to have a heart space of three to five feet, while horses have about five times that amount. Additionally, a horse’s heart

rate is about half the rate of a human’s, so being around horses can help a human’s nervous system downregulate.

“I often find that people are emotional after only a short time with the horses. They don’t even have to talk, just being with the horses — grooming them, spending time with them — creates an unique opportunity of connection. We call that ‘joining up,’ when a horse forms a bond with someone. And when they do, they don’t need a lead rope to want to follow that person,” explains Cain.

Although Grace Reins itself is relatively new, Cain has spent her life working toward its creation. She started regularly riding and working with horses in her twenties when she moved to California from New York City. But it wasn’t until she returned to the East Coast and was living in

Connecticut that she realized horses could be used in therapy.

“I attended the Special Olympics and witnessed the magic of horses as healers,” she remembers. She was trained in equine therapy through PATH International (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International), an organization that offers certifications in equine-assisted services that are designed to

support individuals with disabilities and veterans.

Cain’s work in the Telluride area began slowly.

She offered equine therapy throughout the region, but was without a piece of land where she could house rescued mustangs. That all changed in early 2020 when she had the opportunity to buy a 85-acre parcel in Placerville. It was a move that allowed Cain to keep her horses and do her work out of one property; it’s something she is immensely thankful for.

Gratitude is an ongoing theme in Cain’s life and work. She attributes the success of her ranch to partner organizations like the Johnson Family Foundation, Telluride Foundation, Just for Kids, and the Town of Telluride.

“It was always my dream to share the ranch.

Being able to offer a nonprofit on this land is a pinnacle born of many dreams,” says Cain.

HIGH-FLYING FUN Telluride Zipline Adventure serves up treetop thrills for the whole family KATH RYN S PARACINO

ust when you think summers in Telluride couldn’t get any more exciting, along comes Telluride Zipline Adventure.

Offered throughout the day in summer and early fall, this family-friendly activity gets you up and in the trees of the ski area with incredible 360-degree views.

So what makes ziplining so much fun? Turns out there’s a little science behind it, and it comes down to tricking your brain. Part of the allure of ziplining is enjoying the thrill without the risk. While it feels like you’re literally flying through the treetops, you are also aware of the harness you’re wearing and the cable you’re clipped into. Then there’s the undeniable thrill of speed and the feeling of being suspended in space and unbound by the rules of gravity.

Telluride resident Chantry Dasaro took her family on the Telluride Zipline Adventure in the fall when the aspens were at their most brilliant.

“You’re going from one platform to the next. It’s like a big circuit of wires up in the

J

trees. You’re going slow enough to take in the scenery of the mountains and it’s totally different from what you’re used to seeing, because you’re above the trees, and I’m never on the ski resort in the summer,” says Dasaro.

The three-hour activity starts with a short safety video and gear sorting at the Telluride Adventure Center before you’re whisked up to the on-mountain zipline system. With five ziplines, two aerial bridges, and two rappels, Telluride Zipline Adventure is the perfect way to add a touch of excitement to summer.

Tim Williams, who is the director of mountain activities and the ski and snowboard school at Telluride Ski Resort, shares that ziplining is “A true ‘must do’ experience to enhance your Telluride vacation.” He adds that the zipline, bridges, and rappels are “surrounded by incredible alpine vistas that will take your breath away.”

Telluride Ski Resort’s team of experienced guides are adept at getting everyone clipped in and excited about the experience. “You’re high-

fiving each other when you’re all together on the platform, but you’re still having your individual experience,” says Dasaro.

By the time you step back onto solid ground, you’ve got adrenaline humming in your veins and a grin you can’t quite shake. It’s the result of challenging yourself in a way that feels daring but safe, suspended between earth and sky. telluride.com | 855.421.4360

LEGENDS OF THE LINEUP Meet some of the musical artists who return to Telluride year after year L I N N E H AL P E R N

he Telluride music scene is legendary, with several major festivals that have been around for decades. Telluride Bluegrass Festival had its inaugural event in 1973, Telluride Jazz Festival took to the stage in 1977, and Telluride Blues & Brews Festival made its debut in 1994.

T

All of these music festivals have garnered their own acclaim and have become a mecca for music lovers intent on hearing their favorite artists on an outdoor stage surrounded by mountains. Many of these artists are so charmed by Telluride that they return, year after year, becoming synonymous with certain festivals and putting their stamp on the surrounding community.

The Telluride Bluegrass Festival is bursting with legendary performers who’ve built the event from the ground up and continue to show up. Sam Bush, the virtuoso mandolin player and rightfully dubbed “King of Telluride,” has been appearing at the festival since 1975.

The musician is such a regular that the festival celebrated his semicentennial with custom bobblehead figurines.

Just behind Bush, with a debut in 1977, is acclaimed singer-songwriter and flatpicking phenom Peter Rowan.

“Telluride is where it all began for me,” muses Rowan. “I could find my way from anywhere,” he says, illustrating the mythic pull the festival has on performers and attendees. “Telluride Bluegrass is God’s arena. You meet your maker there,” he adds, describing the spiritual sensation of being surrounded by the San Juan Mountains.

The festival is also focused on finding and supporting up-and-coming artists, expanding the genre and modernizing it for new audiences. “It’s a balance to make sure we honor the history of the artists who’ve shaped the festival, while finding talent who continue to build on that,” says Amy Mendonca, who manages artist relations for Planet Bluegrass, the event’s producer. >> telluride.com | 855.421.4360

Sierra Hull is one preeminent example of the genre’s young guard.

After making her Telluride entrance in 2016, the singer-songwriter and mandolin prodigy has played at the festival five times. “I dreamed of playing the festival for many years. I’ll never forget looking out at the mountains from the stage and realizing a dream coming true,” says Hull. While she has since been nominated for six Grammy Awards, Hull still counts playing Telluride as a career pinnacle. “I pray to get invited back every year,” she says.

“It’s the perfect gathering of so many friends and heroes.”

One graduate of the 2010 student program, Annie Booth, has since metamorphosed into a festival legend.

She earned a spot in the lineup with her band, the Annie Booth Sextet, in 2023, and started working as a co-director for the All-Stars program that same year. She has continued to co-direct the All-Stars program for every year since, including the 2026 ensemble.

“Performing on the main stage remains one of the most unforgettable experiences of my career,” says Booth. In addition to instructing young, up-andcoming musicians, she counts a chance meeting with one of her heroes, Toshiko Akiyoshi, at the 2010 event, as another highlight. “I was playing piano in the student program and got to chat with her in the patron tent. She was so gracious and kind, and treated me like I was the headliner, not the other way around,” says Booth.

Now, Booth shares the festival with her 2-yearold daughter. “I love sharing my love for this music and my love for Telluride with her,” she says.

The Telluride Blues & Brews Festival came onto the scene in 1994. What began as a humble event that married blues and craft

brews, has scaled into a world-class, multi-day production. Previous headliners include the likes of James Brown, Willie Nelson, Peter Frampton, B.B. King, Bonnie Raitt, The Allman Brothers Band, Etta James, and John Mayer.

Samantha Fish, a contemporary blues guitarist and singer-songwriter with Grammy nominations, has been gracing the festival stage annually since her debut in 2016. She’s a festival favorite for her fierce guitar work and fiery performance style.

“The rapport between the fans, the festival staff, and the artists feels like a family,” she says, going on to recount an electric memory from the 2025 festival. “It was a chilly, rainy day, but there was a special energy in the crowd. They weren’t going to budge, even in less than ideal conditions,” says Fish. “Somewhere in the set, the weather shifted and there was a vibrant double rainbow over the crowd. It was magic.”

Experiences like this are what make Telluride both a mecca for outdoor music lovers and a coveted gig for musicians. The only thing that could make a double rainbow more magical, is to see it to the sounds of artists like Samantha Fish, Annie Booth, Peter Rowan, and Sierra Hull, legendary Telluride performers who know exactly how to lean into the town’s singular magic.

The Telluride Jazz Festival has its own host of legendary performers. Muddy Waters, the Dizzy Gillespie Quintet, Herbie Hancock, Allen Toussaint, and countless others have contributed to the festival’s success. The festival gives back to the genre through its commitment to jazz education and student outreach through the Telluride Society for Jazz. The foundation’s flagship program, the Telluride Student All-Stars Jazz Ensemble, has nurtured teenage talent for nearly 30 years, resulting in dozens of musicians who’ve gone on to become the next generation of jazz performers, composers, and educators.

PICTURE PERFECT The Telluride Plein Air Festival celebrates the art of outdoor painting J E NNIFE R J ULIA

hen summer finally makes its long-awaited return to Telluride, there are a few telltale clues that signal its arrival. There’s the brilliant carpet of dandelions that coat the Valley Floor, the quiet return of elk herds, and then, there are the plein air painters.

You’ll notice them popping up everywhere, usually in the early morning or at dusk. You’ll find them on mountain trails and in alleyways, setting up easels in their wide-brimmed hats.

You’ll catch a whiff of oil paint and turpentine as you saunter past, catching a glimpse of their works in progress.

For the past 23 years, the Telluride Plein Air Festival has been the first kick-off to summer, bringing painters from around the country to capture our unique local vistas on canvas.

The Sheridan Arts Foundation, a nonprofit that owns and operates the historic Sheridan Opera House, founded the Telluride Plein Air Festival in 2003. “En plein air” is a French term referring to the practice of painting outdoors.

Ronnie Palamar, executive director of the Sheridan Arts Foundation, has been part of the art event since its inception. “Telluride is such a popular place for artists to come, and it’s such a beautiful time of year,” Palamar emphasizes.

“Artists absolutely love to paint in Telluride.”

Artists are selected via a juried application process. This summer, the foundation will welcome 24 artists who will spend a week painting throughout the area. “We have artists coming from California, Utah, Missouri, Connecticut, and many other places,” says Palamar. “While they’re here, most of our artists stay with local hosts. In exchange for hosting, hosts receive a small painting from their artist.”

One of the highlights of the Telluride Plein Air Festival is the opportunity to see the artists in action. The Golden Hour Quick Draw Competition is a lively, timed event in which each artist chooses a spot on or around main street and is given 90 minutes to produce a completed work of art. “The quick draw is like a scavenger hunt for both the artist and the onlookers,” remarks Jen Laney, the PR and marketing director for the organization. “Not only are the artists hunting for a subject to paint, such as a building, a person, or a landscape, but the public is on a hunt to find where all of the artists are painting. It’s a lot of fun.”

Following the quick draw event is the Artist Choice awards, where the artists themselves vote for their favorite. Cash prizes are awarded for the first, second, and third place paintings.

Watercolorist Richie Vios was the first place recipient of the Artist Choice at the 2025 event.

“I love Telluride,” says Vios. “The views are wonderful, the weather is awesome, and I’ve made so many friends over the years.” When asked what he enjoys painting the most in Telluride, Vios does not hesitate: “The view from downtown at sunset. It’s one of a kind.”

All of the art created during the weeklong festival, which runs June 29– July 5, is available for purchase over the Fourth of July holiday weekend at Elks Park and the North Oak Street Pocket Park adjacent to the Sheridan Opera House. All proceeds benefit the Sheridan Arts Foundation’s artistic and educational programming and the maintenance of the Sheridan Opera House.

“The art sale is a critical part of our annual fundraising,” says Palamar. “And it’s a great chance for people to take home a piece of Telluride.” telluride.com | 855.421.4360

THE SCENE

Arts & Entertainment

by Evie Carrick

In summer, Telluride’s arts and entertainment scene comes alive with live music, farmers markets, and gallery walks. Festivals are the main event, running most weekends from Memorial Day to Labor Day, but the fun doesn’t stop when the work week rolls around. Weeknights stay lively with trivia, concerts, and gallery openings, ensuring there’s something happening every night.

Last summer, Camp Alderwild, a two-day EDM festival, made its Telluride debut. The festival was such a success that this August it will return, now approved to welcome an even larger crowd.

Last year, the event was capped at 7,200; this year, the event was approved for up to 9,000 people.

TWO-NIGHT EDM CONCERT RETURNS WITH INCREASED CAPACITY

NEW AH HAA ‘ART ABOUT’ SHOWCASES ARTISTS AT WORK The Art About, a new event organized by the Ah Haa School for the Arts, is another wonderful reason to visit Telluride in the fall. At the Art About, visitors will have the rare chance to visit with local artists in their studios, witness the artistic process, and buy art from creators directly. The free, self-guided artist studio tour takes place October 3–4.

Before the event takes place, the Ah Haa will host an artist preview exhibition that will give people an idea of what kind of art they will see at various studios.

Art About maps can be found at the Ah Haa or the Telluride Visitors Center and the route is expected to encompass artist studios in Telluride, along with those in Ophir, Rico, Placerville, Norwood, Ridgway, Ouray, Silverton, and Montrose. The Art About can also act as an art-driven road trip for leaf peepers.

Camp Alderwild’s 2025 headliner, Of The Trees, will return for another year and be joined by coheadliner, Daily Bread, an Atlanta-based artist who is known for using vinyl samples and live instrumentation in his music.

A HOMEGROWN CANDLE COMPANY

Top and top inset: Palma Caruso

Bringing home a thoughtful, Telluride-made gift became a whole lot easier with

the launch of Viska candle company. Viska candles are hand-poured in Telluride by owner Monique Johnson, who runs her studio out of the Senate building on Spruce Street.

Viska candles are made using coconut wax, which

burns cleaner than soy or paraffin, and include locally inspired scents designed to transport people to Telluride.

Favorites from Viska’s original collection include Bridal Veil, a mix of pinecone and balsam pine; Palmyra Peak, a blend of tobacco and teakwood; and Mountain Air, a fusion of Frasier fir and balsam pine.

Viska’s new line, the Mesa Collection, features earthy smells like amber, rose, and fir.

The original collection comes in a recycled glass jar or a tin, while the Mesa Collection of candles are sold in a neutral-colored glass jar.

Viska candles can be found at various local boutiques.

In addition to Viska, Johnson offers customized event gifting through her company, Curated Crates. The brand is a popular choice for wedding welcome gifts and corporate events.

The Telluride Jazz Festival has been an important part of summer since its inaugural event in 1977. But unlike other festivals, like Bluegrass, which can host up to 12,000 people a day, Jazz Festival has always been smaller — with only up to 2,999 attendees historically.

That all changed in late 2025 when the Jazz Festival received permission to double the size of its audience, going from 2,999 attendees to 6,000 for its 2026 event. However, the production company, SBG Productions, notes that even with the capacity increase, the programming and feel won’t change much.

The vision is for slow growth.

This year’s Jazz Festival takes place August 7–8. In addition to live music on the main stage, the festival added a new, second stage that will serve as the home base for traditional jazz musicians. The festival also includes shows at Elks Park, latenight music in venues around town, and a huge second line parade down main street.

This year's headliners include Lettuce, The Disco Biscuits, and Theo Croker. telluride.com | 855.421.4360

THE BUILDINGS THAT BUILT TELLURIDE Telluride’s historic structures bring the town’s history to light J E SS E JAME S McTIG UE

THE NUGGET BUILDING

t’s easy to trace Telluride’s past if you pay attention to the restored Victorian homes and historic buildings, many of which are marked with small plaques that offer clues to their origin.

This is by design. In 1961, the U.S. Department of the Interior named Telluride a National Historic Landmark, recognizing its national historical significance. The designation protects 80 acres of downtown and more than 300 buildings, preserving the town’s character and mining history.

MAHR

THE MAHR BUILDING 129 – 131 W. Colorado Ave. Former site of San Miguel Valley Bank

The Mahr Building, a historic two-story structure with an ornate cast-iron facade, was built in 1892.

It sits on the site of the former San Miguel Valley Bank, a one-story wooden structure that was Butch Cassidy’s first bank heist on June 24, 1889.

The original structure burnt down shortly after the heist, but not before Cassidy and his crew stole over $20,000 and famously dashed out of town on horseback.

Due to the Mahr Building’s history as a bank, it is often confused with the brick building at 109 W. Colorado Ave., which has columns and “Bank” carved into the facade.

NUGGET

On the corner of West Colorado Avenue and North Fir Street stands the Nugget Building, which has been a Telluride landmark for over 130 years. It was commissioned in 1892 by L.L. Nunn to house the First National Bank after his earlier venture, the San Miguel Valley Bank, was robbed by three outlaws (see previous).

The building was completed in 1893 using local Cornet Creek sandstone. Arches flanked the corner entry and a soaring tower made it taller than the courthouse — a statement of ambition.

The Nugget Building's original tower was dismantled over a century ago when its weight caused the building to sink.

In 1999, Katrine and Bill Formby bought the Nugget Building and did many renovations, including rebuilding the tower. In 2021, they sold the building to the Telluride Film Festival, which is in the midst of a multi-year renovation. >> telluride.com | 855.421.4360

SENATE

POPCORN ALLEY: E. Pacific Ave. between Pine and Willow Streets Former red-light district

201 S. Fir St. Former hub for moving ore, mail, steel, groceries, and people

The mining boom brought innovation, banks, and businesses, but also drinking, gambling, and prostitution. A block on Pacific Avenue, between Pine and Willow Streets, is a time capsule of Telluride’s “tenderloin,” the infamous red-light district.

The district’s heyday ran from 1897 to 1923 and centered around MacPhearson’s Boarding House, better known as The Senate, and the parlor in the Silver Bell Building next door. The Senate was legendary for its rowdiness; local lore tells of a sheriff who lost an ear there during a shootout. During Prohibition, the Senate operated as a “soda parlor” with multiple entrances catering to other services.

A 1923 fire gutted the Senate’s interior, but the bold brick exterior endured. Over the decades, the building has worn many hats.

In 2016, it was reborn as a luxury residence with commercial space, blending history and modern living.

Along the same stretch of Pacific Avenue stand three small, one-story Victorian houses, the last of the 19th-century “cribs,” where independent prostitutes worked. The area earned the nickname “Popcorn Alley,” after the clattering of the doors as customers came and went at night.

Today, these structures are private homes, silent witnesses to a wilder era.

Dominating the block at Fir Street and Pacific Avenue, the roofless sandstone Telluride Transfer Warehouse is impossible to miss. Built in 1906 by the Telluride Transfer Company, it hauled ore, mail, steel, and groceries — first by mule and horse, later by truck — while serving as a filling station and garage, the heart of regional transportation.

In 1968, ski-area founder Joe Zoline bought the warehouse to ferry skiers to the slopes, linking people to Telluride’s “white gold.”

After the roof collapsed in 1979, the building slowly deteriorated. In 2017, the Zolines partnered with Telluride Arts to stabilize it, creating an open-air venue for arts and community events. Looking ahead, Telluride Arts is working with the Town of Telluride to host events in the space while longer-term possibilities continue to evolve.

emphasizes. “And I also wanted to make our menu approachable from everyone’s angle.”

Experimentation plays a major role at the eatery. “I keep a space on the menu where I can change things and be creative,” Roscoe says. “It keeps things interesting for both the customers and the kitchen.”

The patriarch, Charlie, holds a unique role at the Floradora as the “executive busboy” and storyteller. A consummate entertainer, he often delivers stories to the entire restaurant, including ones from the Floradora’s past — such as when the Hells Angels made a visit in the 1970s.

SERVER SPOTLIGHT

Meet Kara Newhart

Kara Newhart may not be related to the Kanes, but she is a key member of the Floradora family. Newhart, a server, has been with the Floradora team for eight years and is someone who Florie Kane calls “a wonderful representative for our family and the restaurant industry.”

In 2024, Newhart was recognized at the Colorado Governor’s Tourism Conference for her dedication to service and her friendly, welcoming demeanor.

f you’ve spent any amount of time with the Kane family, whose lighthearted banter includes lively inside jokes and quick quips, you’ll know why their restaurant, the Floradora Saloon, is such a well-loved establishment. The warmth of their family dynamic is reflected in the Floradora’s cozy atmosphere and in a menu that blends traditional comfort food with inspired, innovative cuisine.

Both keep customers coming back for more.

Owners Florie and Charlie Kane were a young married couple when they opened the Floradora back in 1973.

“I had just graduated with a degree in hotel and restaurant management,” Florie explains.

“And Charlie said, ‘Why don’t you open a restaurant? You could do that.’”

The enterprising graduate set to the task of securing a location, creating a menu, and hiring staff, taking the helm with gusto and serving as restaurant manager, supplies orderer, and cook. The restaurant was an immediate hit, and a Telluride institution was born.

Today, the Floradora Saloon remains in its original location and four members of the Kane family work together to keep it running.

Florie still holds the reins as the restaurant’s owner and general manager. She bakes all the Floradora’s desserts and enjoys conversing with customers and staff.

“She’s the overlord,” her sons like to joke.

Roscoe Kane, Florie and Charlie’s second son, has served as Floradora’s executive chef since 2003. He is a graduate of the Arizona Culinary Institute and has revitalized and streamlined the menu while retaining some of the restaurant’s signature dishes. “I love comfort food,” he

we’re really busy and get backed up, we signal Dad to tell a story,” Roscoe says with a grin.

“People really love them.”

In 2018, the Kane’s youngest son, Hurley Kane, became the Floradora’s front of house manager. Hurley brought a business degree and strong interpersonal skills to the position. He works closely with the restaurant’s staff, some of whom have been employees for more than 20 years.

When asked if he enjoys working alongside his family, Hurley doesn’t skip a beat. “I look forward to going to work every day, just to hang out with these guys,” he declares. “I like working with family because it adds meaning and value to what I do.”

For many community members, the Floradora is more than a restaurant, it’s a piece of Telluride’s history. “There’s a huge spiderweb of people who have worked here, or met here, had their first date or their first job here,” Roscoe explains. “There’s a real warmth to this place.”

Now, a third generation of Kanes is joining the ranks. Roscoe's two children, ages 7 and 10, frequently drop by the restaurant to visit their dad, uncle, and grandparents. “I’d like my kids to have the opportunity to take it over one day,” Roscoe admits. “For now,” Hurley adds, “they’re our french fry testers.”

THE SCENE

Dining

by Evie Carrick

The dining scene in Telluride and Mountain Village stands apart from that of most towns its size. It is elevated and inventive, showcasing chefs and cuisines from as far afield as Thailand, India, Italy, and Japan, as well as those rooted close to home. Beyond celebrating new openings, we highlight milestone anniversaries, ownership changes, and evolving menus.

LA COCINA AND CARAVAN CONTINUE UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP

In January, La Cocina de Luz and Caravan, two of Telluride’s most beloved and long-standing restaurants, welcomed new owners. Brady and Sue Pitt, who owned and operated the nowclosed Pescado Sushi for 13 years, are now focusing their energy on their new restaurants.

La Cocina first opened in the 1990s and serves up healthy Mexican and Southwestern fare for breakfast,

lunch, and dinner. La Cocina’s menu and operations will remain relatively unchanged, but movement is taking place at the neighboring Caravan and the sunny outdoor patio that links the two eateries.

The Pitts are experimenting with serving Indian food at Caravan, which was formerly a grab-and-go Mediterranean restaurant, and hosting live music and DJ events on the outdoor patio.

OAK, THE NEW FAT ALLEY CELEBRATES 30 YEARS

The restaurant first opened in the alley at 122 S. Oak St. and was named Fat Alley. When

it made the move to its current location in the Camel’s Garden Hotel at the base of Oak Street, it became Oak, The New Fat Alley.

Today, the eatery is a year-round favorite thanks to its sunny, outdoor patio, where locals and visitors gather to enjoy margaritas, beer on tap, and a great

bourbon selection. The Southern-inspired menu includes favorites like the famous Carolina-style pulled pork sandwich, ribs, smoked wings, and steak fries.

In June 2025, a Telluride institute rang in 30 years.

Oak, The New Fat Alley was opened by Robbie O’Dell in 1995, quickly becoming beloved for its unapologetic commitment to Alabama football and finger-licking good BBQ.

POACHERS PUB ANNOUNCES NEW KITCHEN OPERATOR Over the years, Poachers Pub has become a Mountain Village mainstay, with live music in the summer and a year-round billards scene. The latest news to come from the pub is the announcement of a new kitchen operator, La Cantina. The food-truckstyle operation will keep bar visitors fueled with all-day eats, from tacos and quesadillas to salads and falafel sandwiches. La Cantina is run by David González, who previously owned and operated La Cocina de Luz.

Bottom left: Palma Caruso

Poachers is located in the Mountain Village Center at the top of Lift 1, making it an easy stop at the end of a hike or bike ride. In addition to eats from its new food partner, Poachers is a great spot to watch the game and has on-tap beers, a full bar, and a lengthy cocktail menu.

DOLCE

BRINGS A TASTE OF ITALY TO MOUNTAIN VILLAGE Just steps from the base of Lift 4 and the Mountain Village gondola station, a new eatery has opened its doors. As its name implies, Dolce, which is Italian for “sweet,” specializes in desserts and custom gift boxes filled with homemade goodies.

A grab-and-go and take-out spot, Dolce serves house-made pastries, soup, quiche, charcuterie, and panini sandwiches inspired by Italian family recipes. Owners Mariana and Ricky Carolei infuse their shared Italian heritage — along with culinary traditions rooted in Brazil and Argentina — into every dish.

The husband-and-wife team also offer catering and private chef services, extending their “sweet” hospitality beyond the café’s cozy walls.

hat are groomers?” a corduroy hat queries from the top shelf of Highline Apparel, main street’s newest clothing store.

Inside, owner David “Diamond Dave” DeRinzy is silhouetted against a wall of T-shirts and thick hoodies, chatting with shoppers.

DeRinzy moved to Telluride from Boulder 25 years ago with one goal: to ski. People who live in Telluride during those formative years often liken it to college, or “Telluride University.” DeRinzy took that concept and elevated it, launching Highline Apparel’s line of gender-neutral hats, shirts, hoodies, and sweats, some with local-speak slogans.

Stepping into the shop feels like a gentle exhale; you are greeted by white walls, clean lines, and a restrained simplicity. There’s no rooting around through piles of shirts or racks of sweatpants; Telluride University apparel is displayed on several open shelves and the plushness of the fabric is hard to resist touching. Pennants with a college-like crest that features a skier, kayaker, mountain biker, or rock climber add to the campus feel.

DeRinzy develops the concepts and overall aesthetic for the line, then collaborates with local graphic designer Roland Atema to bring his vision to life. The line appeals to locals who have lived — and still do live — the Telluride campus life, second homeowners, and visitors who want to “live like a local.”

The apparel is manufactured in Atlanta, and the materials are the highest quality available.

And then there’s DeRinzy, who truly lives the Telluride lifestyle. You may recognize him from the various bars and restaurants he’s worked in over the years. There’s a high probability that he made you a mojito when Honga’s was open, or poured you a glass of wine at The Grand. Like many locals, he’s worn many hats in Telluride, so when the opportunity arose to make his own hats (literally), he didn’t hesitate.

The concept behind Telluride University “higher education” has been on DeRinzy’s mind since he moved here, and Atema, who has done design work for local brands like Telluride Brewing Company; Oak, The New Fat Alley; Last Dollar Saloon; and the Ah Haa School for the Arts, helped bring it to life.

There’s a vibe to the Highline Apparel shop and the merch that transports you to a different

time and place, and makes you want to take a piece of it home with you.

DeRinzy is adding more inventory as inspiration strikes, including many limited run items that will only be offered once.

“It’s not your average T-shirt shop,” DeRinzy says. “If you know, you know.”

LOCAL LOVE, SOUTHERN FLAIR lli Weitzel and Gran Tabb first met by chance at the local tennis courts in 2019. They bonded over their shared Southern roots — Weitzel is from Houston and Tabb from New Orleans.

But at the time, Weitzel was just visiting Telluride while Tabb was living there.

When Weitzel moved to town permanently in 2020, she reached out to Tabb, and they reconnected. That June, their friendship deepened into something more, marking the beginning of their relationship.

“It’s a rarity out here in Telluride to meet someone from the same background as you,” shares Weitzel. “It felt really special. We clicked instantly.”

After prevailing through the pandemic and establishing local careers (Weitzel is a preschool teacher and photographer, while Tabb is in real estate), they adopted their dog, Mango, in 2023.

In 2024, Tabb proposed at his family’s vacation home in Destin, Florida.

Both Weitzel and Tabb felt a strong connection to their hometowns, but since they were building their life together in Telluride, they decided to celebrate their union here. They set the date for September 2025 and chose the Lower Golden Ledge on the historic Aldasoro Brothers Ranch as the setting.

The weekend festivities began with a rehearsal dinner at the Telluride Science & Innovation Center, followed by a lively parade down main street led by a traditional New Orleans second line, culminating at the Last Dollar Saloon for the wedding welcome party. Weitzel was dressed in a refurbished version of her mother’s

1985 wedding gown and Tabb’s mother had custom parasols made. Guests adorned themselves with jovial Mardi Gras beads for the musical procession.

The weather was stormy the morning of the wedding, but Weitzel distracted herself with hair and makeup prep and family time with her sisters and nieces and nephews. After driving up the scenic Last Dollar Road to the Lower Golden Ledge in the rain, Weitzel waited in the bridal tent while Tabb greeted their guests. Minutes before it was time for Weitzel to walk down the aisle with her father, the rain cleared, making way for a breathtaking rainbow. " Guests adorned “Living in Telluride, we’d been themselves with jovial to this location Mardi Gras beads for countless times the musical procession." before, but having all of our people around us, dressed in black tie in the middle of the mountains — it felt like a dream,” Weitzel says. “From the second I saw Gran, I didn’t want to let go of his hands."

The wedding was sealed with a kiss in a grove of Aspen trees and the celebration began.

One cocktail hour highlight was the arrival of Penny and Leonard, two local burros who joined the wedding from a neighboring ranch.

Guests posed with the donkeys, adding a quirky local touch to the afternoon.

The tented reception began with a photo booth from Swirl Booth and a cake by Fig & Bloom, featuring a mini Mango cake topper.

Diamond Empire Band brought the boogie with a side of New Orleans soul.

Weitzel recounts dancing the night away with her youngest nieces, who were out long past their bedtime, as a favorite recollection. She surprised Tabb with a pair of LSU-colored light-up Heelys to cut up the dance floor.

Guests showered Weitzel and Tabb with a bubble send-off — a final hint of whimsy — to mark the end of the weekend and the start of their new life together. telluride.com | 855.421.4360

arm-to-table movements thrive where growing seasons are long and logistics are easy — conditions rarely found in Telluride, with its long winters and rugged terrain. Yet beyond the box canyon, on the surrounding mesas and valleys, farmers, ranchers, and artisan bakers remain committed to producing organic local food and getting it onto Telluride tables.

Local producers committed to regenerative farming and local sourcing

OSSOLA FAMILY FARMS

HANK’S HENS AT INDIAN RIDGE FARM

Megan Ossola, owner of the legendary main street restaurant The Butcher & The Baker, has long been committed to sourcing organic food from local regenerative farms. In 2018, she deepened that commitment by purchasing 13 acres in Montrose with her husband. It was land that, she says, “came with a historic 1800s farmhouse, a century-old heirloom orchard, and five tons of junk.”

After three years of cleanup and cultivation, and six more restoring the house and property, Ossola Family Farms is now in its fifth year of production, growing roughly 90 percent of the food served at The Butcher & The Baker during the summer months.

Through both the farm and her restaurant, Ossola is committed to a full-circle “farm-totable, table-to-farm” ethos. She even runs a community-wide composting program that turns local food waste into fertilizer for the farm.

“I wanted to prove it was possible to close the loop with the composting program and to grow locally with a farm that is 60 miles away,” Ossola says.

Ossola readily admits that owning a farm adds stress, but she’s also quick to list the rewards: freezing and preserving vegetables for winter dishes; making her own chili crunch, pickles, and jam; having full control of the menu; and most importantly, serving flavorful, nutritious food.

“We grow everything from a seed and put it on a plate,” she says.

NORWOOD

MONTROSE & TELLURIDE

WHERE TO FIND IT: Ossola Family Farms products are featured heavily in dishes at The Butcher & The Baker. The farm has a booth at the Telluride Farmers’ Market on Oak Street (Fridays).

Hannah Rossman grew up in Vermont and says farm-to-table was “part of the culture,” with “good artisan bread in every town and grocery store.” When she moved to the San Juans in 2013, she found that homemade bread was missing from the local food scene.

In 2016, Rossman and her cousin, Ben Rossman, set out to fill that need, starting what has become a local sensation. Blue Grouse Bread is a sourdough artisan bread known for its perfect crust, airy interior, and rich flavor.

Hannah believes there are two things that make Blue Grouse Bread distinct: the ingredients and the fermentation process. They buy whole wheat flour directly from Colorado farmers and mill it themselves using a stone burr mill Hannah bought down the road from where she grew up.

“We mill whole wheat flour so we get 100 percent of the grain’s nutrition,” Hannah says, “and the result is a nutritious product with amazing flavor.”

When explaining the bold flavor, she points to the fermentation process, noting that flavor increases with time. “We allow for a long fermentation process,” she says. “We take three days from start to finish.”

Blue Grouse Bread, led by Hannah and her new business partner, Colby Brown, turns 10 this summer. The Norwood-based company currently employs eight people.

“It’s important to us that we support the local economy and we hope it’s important to those who buy Blue Grouse,” Hannah says.

“We’re proud that we do everything from start to finish and we do it locally.”

Henri “Hank” Spaan got his first taste of agriculture during summer visits to his family’s cattle ranch in Nebraska. In high school, while at boarding school in Carbondale, Colorado, he completed a three-week internship at Indian Ridge Farm in Norwood and his interest in farming deepened, leading him to study at the University of Vermont College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

Since graduating, Spaan has worked on a large-scale pastured poultry farm near Burlington, Vermont that used regenerative vegetable operations, and has completed Quivira Coalition’s New Agrarian Program apprenticeship.

Finally, six years after his internship at Indian Ridge Farm, he returned to the farm to lead their pastured poultry program.

Spaan currently leases two acres at Indian Ridge Farm for his chicken and turkey operation.

Last summer, he processed 1,000 birds, producing 4,300 pounds of chicken and 45 Thanksgiving turkeys.

“I saw the benefit of what chickens can do to soil and what you can do with really small acreage,” Spaan says. “Chickens don’t need a lot.”

Spaan raises his chickens from just a few days old, caring for them in the brooder for the first four weeks before they move to pasture. “It’s a different product than conventional chicken that sits inside and eats grains and gets fat,” Spaan says. “Their pastureland has incredible soil; what they eat and how they’re raised changes the flavor. It’s a different product entirely.”

Spaan is also invested in regenerative farming, noting that the chickens are good foragers and their manure puts nitrogen back into the soil.

THE VALLEY FLOOR GOATS Where to find them

on the valley Floor, munching up noxious weeds

The Valley Floor in Telluride is home to a variety of native trees and plants. The cottonwoods, willow scrub, lupine, and fireweed are among the many species that support a diverse ecosystem along the San Miguel River corridor, providing habitats and food sources for wildlife.

But not all of the Valley Floor’s plants serve such

telluride.com | 855.421.4360

a useful purpose. In fact, a few invasive weeds maintain a not-so-welcome presence, and getting rid of them can be a challenge.

That’s where the goats come in.

“In 2025, the Telluride Open Space Commission and the Telluride Town Council approved the presence of goats on the Valley Floor as a two-year pilot program for weed

mitigation and range management purposes,” reports Lance McDonald, program director for the Town of Telluride.

And just where does one acquire a hungry crew of goats? Enter DuranGoats, out of Durango, Colorado, a land management company that utilizes goats for the mitigation of noxious weeds and wildfire fuel. They brought a small

herd of goats to the Valley Floor for nine days during the summer of 2025, enclosed them within two areas containing invasive musk thistle and yellow toadflax, and let the “mouths with four legs” get down to business.

If you’re strolling on the Valley Floor this summer, you may just catch a glimpse of the hard-working goats back in action, improving the Valley Floor’s ecosystem one munch at a time.

MATILDA & THE BOYS Where to find them

RUBY, THE COFFEE COWBOY PUP Where to find her

@matilda.and.the.boys

For Kathrine Warren and Lee Pillaro, life lately is all about love, and the world is paying attention. Before Warren met Pillaro, she hoped she’d find a partner who would love her cats, Matilda and Malcolm, as much as she does. “And then I met a man who loves his cats as much as I love mine,” Warren beams.

The couple had been dating almost a year when they made the decision to move in together. There was just one catch: Lee also owns two cats, Peter and Truffles.

How would the two cat pairs fare as a foursome under one roof?

Guided by advice from their veterinarian, Warren and Pillaro began the slow, careful process of introducing the four cats. Warren captured those initial meetings and posted them on Instagram and TikTok. In just four days, the cats’ spirited antics (hissing, yowling, grouchy stares), began taking the social media world by storm.

“The day four video, the one where Peter sings ‘the song of his people,’ went viral overnight,” Warren recalls. Subsequent video updates on the cats’ relationships gained momentum.

“It’s definitely surreal,”

Pillaro says of the cats’ social media fame. “I think what makes me the most happy is knowing there are so many other people out there that love our cats as much as we do.”

Several months into the cats’ cohabitation, Warren and Pillaro are seeing progress in their behavior and body language. “I think there’s hope,” Warren says optimistically. “People have warned us that this process could take upwards of six to 12 months.

The goal is to make them feel safe and that their resources will stay intact.”

With love as the baseline, the couple is confident that a Brady Bunch existence is possible for their little family.

Outside the Coffee Cowboy cart at

the bottom of Oak Street and the gondola

The gondola plaza at the bottom of Oak Street in Telluride has long served as a popular hang out spot for dogs. If you’ve visited this corner of town for a stop at the Coffee Cowboy cart, you’ve likely met Ruby, whose irrepressibly friendly, tail-wagging demeanor has stolen the hearts of locals and visitors alike for the past several summers. Ruby is so loved and so synonymous with the Coffee Cowboy, that she’s become the official mascot of the brand.

Ruby belongs to one of the Coffee Cowboy owners, Hailey Arnold. “Ruby is a very happy-go-lucky, dopey little Labrador,” Arnold says. “She is truly the mascot of the Cowboy. It all started with her lounging in the sun outside the cart while I worked, getting belly rubs and cuddles from everyone that would pass through.

If she was lucky, someone would give in and get her a puppuccino.”

Ruby’s popularity has inspired a line of Coffee Cowboy “Ruby-merch,” a collection of hats and stickers bearing her likeness.

For the last year, Ruby has had to share the coffee cart limelight, as she acquired a sister, Lily, a spunky golden retriever. “Lily came into the Cowboy world about a year ago,” Arnold explains. “She has some good days under her belt as a cart girl and can be found most days begging for snacks with her sister.” telluride.com | 855.421.4360

THE SCENE

Community

by Evie Carrick

The Telluride community is small and welcoming. You can get a sense of it while strolling down main street or dancing at a summer festival. But one of the most noticeable places where the community shows up is in the gym or fitness studio, wellness spaces where people gather to move, sweat, breathe, and grow together.

Lucky for us, there are three recent additions to the local wellness scene, offering even more places to connect and build community.

RANGE YOGA

MOVEMENT THAT MEETS YOU WHERE YOU ARE “Movement that meets you where you are,” is the motto of

Range Yoga Telluride, a studio that opened in late 2025. The new fitness space in the Silver Bell Building at Spruce Street and Pacific Avenue is a yoga studio, but it also offers group strength training and

TELLURIDE MEN’S HEALTH CLUB HELPING MEN HELP EACH OTHER

classes that blend Pilates, ballet barre, and interval training.

Range is owned by Holly and Thad Faeth and Holly is one of the studio’s lead teachers.

Classes run daily and the drop-in rate is $30.

Gathering and creating community can sometimes come more naturally for women, but a new men’s group is working to change that. Telluride Men’s Health Club has a mission to “Help men help each other by both talking about our health and taking action to ensure we can continue to be active and vital.”

The group was founded by Original Thinkers festival founder David Holbrooke, who was inspired to start the group after several local men died from preventable or treatable health challenges.

Telluride Men’s Health Club is still building momentum, but is planning to host events and meetings throughout 2026.

BROAD COLLECTIVE

A COMMUNITY SPACE BUILT FOR TEACHERS In late 2025, Broad Collective became the town’s newest fitness destination. The collective operates as a cooperative that allows teachers of all kinds to use the space for a minimal fee, encouraging a wide variety of movement offerings. On any given day there may be yoga, strength training, meditation, or a Pilatesinspired flow. Teachers commit to their teaching schedule in advance, so while the schedule can evolve, there is consistency to the class offerings.

Broad Collective is located at 100 W. Colorado Ave. downstairs from the Overland store. Drop-in classes are $25 and a 10-punch pass is $200.

The Broad Collective space can also be rented for community events and rehearsals.

FRIGHTS IN THE ROCKIES Telluride Horror Show finds the perfect mix of chilling cinema and autumnal charm EMILY SHOFF

eventeen years ago, Ted Wilson was walking his dog through Telluride’s Lone Tree Cemetery when inspiration struck: Telluride should have a horror film festival. As someone who had worked for Telluride Blues & Brews and as a “hired gun” for countless other festivals, Wilson had experienced what he calls a “college education in Telluride festivals.” He thought an exciting mix of horror and suspense films would be the perfect transition into fall, a season marked by vibrant colors and colder temperatures.

And so began the start of Telluride Horror Show, Colorado’s first and largest horror film festival.

The three-day festival features a mix of short film programs and feature films spread across six local venues. This year, it takes place October 16–18. Taking a cue from other Telluride film festivals, the Telluride Horror Show offers a selection of free activities, including book signings and the popular Creepy Campfire Tales, where horror authors share their haunting stories around a crackling fire in Elks Park.

Over the years, the festival has grown from a

Aurélie Slegers

S

small, mostly local event to a festival with over 1,000 guests.

Chris McInroy, a writer and director who has been involved in the Telluride Horror Show since 2015 and has shown several films at the festival, says, “It’s one of the top genre festivals in the world so it’s no small feat to screen there. Maybe the biggest thing for me is the audience, they show up and are hungry for movies. They’ll line up by the hundreds for a 10:30 a.m. horror-comedy shorts block and have the energy to engage.”

Wilson praises Telluride for being a town that’s “always ready to embrace a new cultural event” and gives thanks to lodging sponsors who donate rooms so that directors traveling globally can attend the festival.

“It’s been fun to watch it grow,” Wilson says.

“Having a horror festival here is a way to represent the genre side of films.” It’s also a space to create movies in a relatively affordable way. “In horror, you can still find amazing young filmmakers who can make a great film without much money.”

Reflecting on the genre’s appeal, Wilson says that horror encompasses more than just the standard blood and terror. “Horror can be a metaphor for so many things such grief and toxic

masculinity. It takes standard tropes and turns them on their heads.”

The debate and dialogue around what constitutes a good horror film is part of the festival’s appeal. “People’s love for horror never diminishes and neither do their critiques,” Wilson says, describing the lively banter amongst festival attendees.

A passionate audience and great films are two recurring elements of the Telluride Horror Show.

“We are known as a picky festival when it comes to our film lineup and I think that’s a good thing.

If people are going to make the effort to travel here, we want it to be an incredible experience,” says Wilson.

Beyond the great lineup of films and close community, McInroy shares that Telluride plays a big role in the festival’s appeal.

“The town and the landscape are a huge piece of what makes the festival so great. There’s nothing like watching scary movies and then walking back to the hotel in the dark,” he says.

“The leaves are changing and falling, the homes have halloween decorations, the gondola is free, there’s snow on the mountains, the creek is full, it all feels very Halloween-y.” telluride.com | 855.421.4360

SKIS, SNOW & SADDLE Meet Telluride’s newest winter sport KATH RYN S PARACINO

hen Lang Schuler first heard about the skijoring event taking place at the fairgrounds in Ridgway, he had no idea what it would lead to. After watching videos of the sport, where skiers fly around a track and hit jumps while being pulled by a galloping horse, Schuler figured he had the skills to try it.

“So, I went the next year. And I didn’t really know anything about it, didn’t know anyone involved in it,” he says, remembering when he showed up for the third annual San Juan Skijoring event in Ridgway in 2018. “And so I just found someone that needed a skier and teamed up with them and we ended up winning the first day.”

Beginner’s luck? Not hardly. Schuler, like many Telluride kids, grew up ski racing. And those skills translate perfectly into the burgeoning sport of skijoring.

Skijoring is a timed event, with different types of courses — some have gates, some have jumps, some have rings you have to collect,

Palma Caruso

W

and some are an all-out race on a straight track.

Schuler emphasizes the importance of competing with a horse and rider that you are familiar with; “they learn your skiing style and you learn their riding style.”

There are three main components in skijoring along with plenty of nuance. “You have to have a good skier, you have to have a solid horse, and you have to have someone who knows how to ride the horse,” explains Schuler. “It takes a rider who has really good horsemanship skills, but it’s not necessarily about how fast the horse is.

Some races are a straight track and it can just be a horse race, but we’re seeing the courses get set in a way now that makes it a team sport.”

Schuler’s favorite type of course is a curved track, which requires the horse, rider, and skier to work together. The track is curved, so the horse isn’t in an all-out sprint, but this type of course is a true test of the agility of the horse and the skier and the horsemanship of the rider.

In his heyday, Schuler traveled as far as Wyoming and Montana to compete, collecting

an impressive number of championship buckles, the ultimate prize in skijoring. This year, however, Schuler was able to compete right out his front door, at the inaugural Telluride Skijoring event on main street in March. He won third place in the inaugural event.

"Skiing down Telluride main street behind a horse was about the coolest thing I have done in my skijoring career. I see this stuff on any given weekend of the winter, but always elsewhere. It was awesome to see it in my hometown," says Schuler.

He raced against several of his buddies and was cheered on by his wife, Kelly, who has also competed in skijoring, and his 3-year-old son, Knox.

The thrill of watching the race is only surpassed by the adrenaline the riders and racers feel as they fly around the track. “You’re kind of just in your zone trying to make it through the course, and when you get to the finish and you hear your time, everything starts coming back, and I mean, honestly, I forget what I did for 15 seconds.” telluride.com | 855.421.4360

HISTORIC WALKING TOUR The Telluride area boasts a rich history. In the 1700s, the Ute people used the San Juan Mountains and the San Miguel River banks as summer camps. Explorers and survey parties passed through the area in the 1700s and 1800s, but it was mining that brought the first European settlers in 1876 when the Sheridan Mine registered its operation in the Marshall Basin above Telluride. In just 20 years, the town grew from a hodgepodge of cabins and shacks to rows of elegant Victorians and stately brick buildings, many of which exist today.

Telluride was designated a National Historic Landmark District in 1961 and the Town later established the Historic and Architectural Review Commission to further protect its character and authenticity.

The Historic Walking Tour is a self-guided walk through Telluride’s storied past.

1 | San Miguel County Courthouse The courthouse was originally built on the south side of West Colorado Avenue in 1886 but burned shortly after construction. The bricks were saved to build the present courthouse less than a year later on the opposite corner (Colorado Ave. and Oak St.). Recently renovated, it is still in use today.

2 | New Sheridan Hotel Built in 1891, Telluride’s first hotel was destroyed by fire in 1894 and rebuilt in brick in 1895. At the same time, the Sheridan Bar was built, and it is now one of the oldest bars in the West.

The bar has remained unchanged since 1895, boasting its original lead glass divider panels, mahogany wood paneling and filigree light fixtures. Patrons are served beverages on the original hand-carved cherry wood bar that was imported from Austria. The New Sheridan is a member of the National Trust for Historic Hotels of America. In 1913, the opera house was added and named the Segerberg Opera House, after builders J.A. and Arvid Segerberg. The building was eventually named the Sheridan Opera House after its neighboring bar and hotel.

3 | The Pekkarine Building One of the oldest structures on Colorado Avenue, this building was home to the Pekkarine family. Mr. Pekkarine emigrated to the US from Finland in the late 1800s and opened a boot shop in the basement. On the second floor, he operated a mercantile store. The Pekkarines lived on the third floor. At the settling of the Pekkarine estate in 1974, valuable artifacts were donated to the Telluride Historical Museum.

4 | Roma Bar Building The Roma Building was home to one of the town’s oldest and most raucous bars. The downstairs still contains the original 1860 Brunswich-Balke-Collender Company bar, which is carved from walnut with 12-foot French mirrors. The building was most recently renovated in 2016.

telluride.com | 855.421.4360

5 | St. Patrick’s Catholic Church Reverend J.J. Gibbons, pastor of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, made his first trip to Telluride from Ouray for a baptism, traveling by horseback over the mountain passes. In 1896, he helped build St. Patrick’s Catholic Church of Telluride on Catholic Hill for $4,800. By 1899, the church had 200 parishioners. The wooden figures of the Stations of the Cross were carved in the Tyrol area of Austria.

6 | Old Waggoner House Charles Delos Waggoner, president of the Bank of Telluride (the yellow brick building on main street), contrived a scheme purportedly to save his bank in the Wall Street Crash of 1929. Waggoner siphoned money from New York banks to keep his clients from losing their life savings once the Bank of Telluride could no longer pay its creditors.

Waggoner, who was sentenced to 15 years and served six, testified in court, “I would rather see the New York banks lose money than the people of Telluride, most of whom have worked all their lives for the savings that were deposited in my bank.”

7 | Town Hall The building was constructed on Fir Street and Columbia Avenue in 1883 as Telluride’s first schoolhouse. The one-room structure held one teacher and 53 students and was built for $3,000. After a new school was built, the town offices occupied the building.

8 | Telluride Historical Museum Built in 1896 and named Hall’s Hospital after its first doctor, the building served as the community hospital treating miners and townspeople until it closed in 1964 due to a decline in the population. It reopened in 1966 as the Telluride Historical Museum and was renovated in 2002. Ten rooms and outdoor exhibitions showcase Telluride’s unique and vibrant history with a vast collection of photographs, artefacts and exhibitions

9 | North Oak House Built in 1900, this house was a survivor of the 1914 flood that careened down Cornet Creek, sweeping through town and depositing mud and debris from the Liberty Bell Mine down to Colorado Avenue. One woman was killed and the Sheridan Bar was filled with mud halfway to the ceiling. This house has been completely restored to its original condition and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Homes.

10 | Davis House Entrepreneur E.L. Davis who built this stately brick house in 1894, held an early interest in the Bullion Lode, as well as numerous mining claims in the area. He owned all the land where the former Rio Grande Southern Train Depot now stands, as well as one-third interest in West Telluride. After Davis’s death, the house was sold to Dr. Oshner, who used it as a hospital, particularly during the 1918 flu epidemic.

E | Pick & Gad Located in what was once Telluride’s red-light district, patrons were treated to music, food, wine and ladies in this brick “parlor house” if they wore a coat and tie.

F | Old Town Jail This stone jail is thought to have been built in 1885 and is now occupied by the Telluride Marshal’s Department. The town’s first calaboose, a wooden structure, was built in 1878 and is now located in Telluride Town Park’s campgrounds.

G | Idarado Legacy Trail Plaques along this interpretive walk recount the mining legacy of Telluride’s east end. The trail ends at the Pandora Mill site with a stunning view of Bridal Veil Falls.

H | Lone Tree Cemetery The cemetery is located on the east end of town on Colorado Avenue and offers a glimpse into Telluride’s history and the perils of its residents during the mining-boom era when avalanches, murders, flu epidemics, mining accidents and labor strikes took many lives.

At the turn of the century, the east end of the canyon was laced with the cables of aerial trams that lowered ore from the mines to mills in the valley below. These towers were part of the Penn Tram which conveyed ore from mines high above Telluride to the mills beyond Pandora.

11 | L.L. Nunn House On the corner of Aspen and West Columbia, this white Victorian was bought by L.L. Nunn who financed the world’s first commercial A/C power plant, the Ames Hydroelectric Generating Plant. Nunn purchased the home for his Telluride Institute, where “pinheads” from Cornell University came to expand their knowledge of the production of power. Today, Cornell University has a “Telluride House” funded by Nunn’s estate. Next door, on the corner of Aspen Street and West Columbia, is the house in which Nunn lived.

12 | Rio Grande Southern Railway Depot Prior to the arrival of the railroad in 1891, oxen and mule trains, as well as horses, carried all supplies and ore into and out of the area. The introduction of the railroad created a bustling, noisy area surrounded by boardinghouses and warehouses. Ore was hauled out of the surrounding mines and became a major revenue generator for the Rio Grande Southern Railroad.

13 | Finn Town This area was the center of social life for Scandinavian immigrants. On the south side of Pacific Street, Finn Town Flats (originally a boardinghouse), Finn Hall and the smaller Swede-Finn Hall (pictured, and now the Elks Lodge on the corner of Pacific and Townsend) hosted many social gatherings. Continuing east, detour briefly up South Oak Street to the Dahl House, a miner’s rooming house built in the 1890s.

14 | Popcorn Alley The Senate, Silver Bell, Cribs and madam’s stone residences make up the restored buildings of Pacific Street’s “sporting district.” The Senate was one of the many places bustling with business between the 1880s and 1930s. The Silver Bell, built in 1890, suffered a disastrous fire in 1923. It operated as one of Telluride’s many “soda parlors” during Prohibition, and its numerous entrances hint at the other services offered there. The three small Victorian houses standing in a row on Pacific Street, known as the Cribs, are all that remain of the “female boarding houses” that lined both sides of W. Pacific Street. telluride.com | 855.421.4360

THE NEW SHERIDAN HOTEL has shared in the rich history of Telluride, Colorado since 1895. Offering modern amenities paired with historic ambiance, the New Sheridan invites you to experience a new level of old world service.

The Sheridan Hotel was originally constructed in 1891, but a fire destroyed the building in 1893. The present brick building was completed and reopened as the New Sheridan Hotel in 1895. Thus, the Sheridan has been new for over 130 years. During an expansive renovation completed recently, the hotel’s 26 guest rooms received a luxurious transformation under the guidance of internationally renowned designer Nina Campbell. Each individually designed room captures the historic charm of Telluride in an atmosphere of warmth and comfort.

On-site dining options include the renowned Chop House Restaurant & Wine Bar, The Rooftop Bar, The Parlor and the historic New Sheridan Bar, which was ranked among the world’s top 10 après ski bars by Forbes Traveler.

The New Sheridan Hotel was also recognized by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler as one of the Top 5 “Best Places to Ski & Stay in North America” and was awarded the “2026 AAA Four Diamond Hotel” rating. The New Sheridan is proud to be on the Register of National Historic Places.

PARTING SHOT RYAN BONNEAU

As the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary and Colorado celebrates its 150th, Telluride rings in 148 years.

“It’s not putting on airs to say that Telluride, Colorado, is one of the best mountain towns in America: founded in 1878 by a rowdy group of Wild West silver miners, Telluride transformed over the century from a precious metal hub to a cultural one.”
