Telluride, Colorado is located in the Four Corners area (where Colorado, Utah, Arizona & New Mexico meet) in San Miguel County in the San Juan Mountains. Considering its location and 8750 ft altitude, it comes as no surprise that for much of its history, Telluride was a mining town. Gold was discovered there in 1858. Oddly enough, the ski industry didn't come to Telluride until 1972 when Joseph Zoline installed the first ski lift for the
Telluride Ski Resort. The scenery around the area is stunningly beautiful. Witness
Bridal Veil Falls. It just so happens that this is weekend for the
37th Telluride Bluegrass Festival as well. I don't mine for gold or ski, and bluegrass ain't my gig, but I damn sure fish, and the Telluride area offers some pretty dang good
fishin'. All in all, Telluride seems like a great place to be this or any other weekend.
