Fall!

On Tuesday, I came to work and the feeling in town was unmistakable- PEAK. The colors here in Telluride peaked early this year, which is in line with the forecast for snow this week.

This year, the colors were mostly beautiful golds and they spread throughout the mountains from peak to base all at the same time creating beautiful golden mountains.





Because the sun was out, the weather made the view even better. A crisp autumn breeze was a constant reminder that it is fall and winter is on its way, but for now, just enjoy the warm sun and the stunning colors. Even with wind and a severe cold snap that brought snow, the leaves on the trees are holding fast. This weekend is a great time to head to Mountain Village for the Fall Festival. The Fall Tilt 12 hour bike race is October 3rd, hot dog eating contest featuring Mountain Village's own Diggity Dogs, live music, and beer tasting on Friday, and a raffle on Saturday. The event ends with an Ophir Pass climb on Sunday, October 4th followed by a BBQ at Ophir town hall. This weekend will be something to remember and probably end up being the source of more than one story for your grand kids to here. Come join us in Telluride and book your Telluride lodging today so you too can partake in the fall festivities.
