Food scene

“An elevated gathering place that offers unconventional yet approachable dining experiences.” Straight from the horse's mouth and we could not agree more! Every dish is thoughtful and delicious and we would bet to say best drinks in town to boot. Reservations usually need to be made a few weeks in advance

Craft cocktails, detailed sharable plates and a very beautiful wine selection. This is our absolute favorite, and the hamachi is a must-try! Reservations recommended

Casual yet high-quality order at the counter type place. Lovely to ski down into town and have a charcuterie and a glass of wine.

Our go-to in the off-season when many other restaurants are closed. American food with options for everyone in your party. They have very reasonable prices, at least relative to other restaurants in town, and you can usually walk in with little to no wait.

Outdoor Activities

This is a very popular trail in Telluride and for good reason! It's about 5 miles out and back with moderate elevation gain, but nothing too crazy. You are rewarded with amazing views of Telluride as you ascend and a gorgeous waterfall at the end of the trail. The trailhead starts right in town at the end of Pine street. So we like to park at the free gondola parking garage in Mountian Village and take the gondola into town. When you exit the gondola just walk down east down San Juan Ave for two blocks then turn right on Pine st. Pine Street will dead-end into the trail head.

This is a stunning alpine lake that is easy to access right off HWY 145 on your way to Delores/Durango. Its less than 15 minutes from our house and worth a visit. We like to pack a picnic lunch and rent paddleboards from either Mountian Adventure Equipment or Telluride Outside then head to Trout Lake for the day. Most of the shore is public access, so just pick a spot on the shore and enjoy the stunning views.

This is a beautiful collection of 3 small alpine lakes at close to 11,500 ft of elevation. It's a fun place to visit and explore/hike around the three lakes. There are numerous hiking trails around the lakes. Access is possible by car on Alta Lakes Rd off HWY 145, but this road is not paved so you will need a high clearance vehicle to drive on it. Most stock SUVs should be fine if you take it slow. My stock Toyota Tundra TRD Pro has no problem with this road. The journey to these lakes is half the fun and you can stop at a Ghost town about way up. The drive from our house is only about 30 min.
