Leah bungee jumbing at Mountain Village in Telluride
Our hike along the river in Telluride
Today we ventured to Telluride. We took a gorgeous drive along the scenic byway of highway 145…truly one of the most spectacular drives I have been on. It was so scenic with the mountains, trees, meadows and rivers. We steadily climbed in elevation until we reached Telluride. We started off on a trail along the river at the base of the mountain. We then went into town and walked around a bit. Telluride is a really beautiful town, with mountains on all sides and green everywhere. Everyone is walking with their dog or on a bike. She shops are very quaint and every shop is a boutique. We stopped for lunch at Brown Dog Pizza and had some great pizza and salad. We then headed to the free gondola that goes over to Mountain Village. It was a very scenic ride up the mountain. When you dismount, it feels like you are in the Swiss Alps! The architecture is very European and there are villages everywhere with hotels and limited shopping. Leah saw the bungee trampoline and just had to do that. We walked around a little more and then headed back down to Telluride. More shopping and peeking in stores. Then it was back on our river trail to our car and the beautiful drive to camp. We rested for a while, had dinner and then took a family hike around the lake until the sun set. Then it was bed time! Lovely day and I am so glad we got to experience Telluride. Next time we will definitely spend more time in Telluride hiking and biking…it is the thing to do there in the summer!
