29 Jul The New York Times Hearts Telluride: “A Perfect Weekend”!
The New York Times recently joined a high-profile fraternity that includes (but is by no means limited to) prestigious media outlets such as Conde Nast Traveler, Architectural Digest, Good Morning Texas, Travel & Leisure, Town & County, W, Vogue, and Forbes, who for years have been singing hosannas in praise of Telluride. The story by Cindy Hirschfeld is titled “A Perfect Weekend in Telluride,” which suggests a few ways to spend a few days.

“This view is, like, killer,” I overheard a 20-something say to his companions during a recent visit to Telluride. We had just walked by each other on the main street of this southwestern Colorado mountain town, wedged into a box canyon. The group was looking toward the vertiginous cliffs high above, where Ingram Falls plunged over a notch in the rock; below the falls, a thread of water followed a steep, diagonal runnel, glinting silver, like the precious metal miners once sought here.
The comment was an understatement. Surrounded by soaring peaks in the craggy San Juan Mountains, Telluride sits in an almost impossibly beautiful setting. I’ve been visiting regularly from my home near Aspen for almost 30 years, and every time I drive the final stretch into town, my breath catches when the lofty panorama bursts into view.
Well known for its ski resort, Telluride attracts plenty of summer and fall visitors, too…
