Blue Lakes Trail

A challenging and beautiful hiking trail about 10 miles out of town.

Reviewed By baoh314 - Phoenix, United States

Directions to this trail is pretty spot on with All Trails app. The hike itself was about 8 miles round trip with a lot of elevation gain hiking in. Some minor switchbacks I would say around 8 -10 total, but nothing too significant. The views along this trail is picturesques with wildlife popping up here and there. The fields of flowers and waterfalls were my highlights. The end result is the Blue Lake and we got lucky cause there were still a little bit of snow.

Jud Wiebe Trail

Reviewed By CCOfenstein - Salida, United States

The perfect hike to start your day in Telluride. The incline is pretty challenging so if you're new to Colorado hikes, pace yourself. Beautiful views the whole way through aspen groves, open mountain vistas, and ending in thicker forest.

Bridal Veil hike

Reviewed By LocalVisitor844

Although there was very little water falling from Bridal Veil Falls to follow up, it was the perfect starting hike to our weekend in Telluride. Loved getting my heart rate up and to get above the town for perspective. Well marked.
