...4,000 foot peaks in North America, Telluride blends historic buildings and local watering holes with luxury hotels, five-star restaurants, sophisticated shops and world-class spas. This unique destination welcomes you with the same enthusiasm the locals feel for the mountains.
Adding to Telluride's reputation for legendary terrain, the resort is thrilled to announce the opening of Revelation Bowl.

Situated above tree line, the natural, wide-open bowl offers advanced and expert skiing in an unbelievably scenic setting.
The opening of Revelation Bowl is just part of Telluride's incredible expansion this year. Public hike-to access in Black Iron Bowl, Palmyra Peak and Gold Hill Chutes 6-10 opened to rave reviews in January. All told, the resort has expanded by nearly 400 acres, offering the most stunning skiing and riding on the continent over its 2000 acres.
Telluride effortlessly mingles urban sophistication, historic charm and mountain spirit.<...

Blue Lakes Trail
This description has a few accurate things in it, but the way it's put together, it makes no sense, even to someone who lives here. It jumbles things from Telluride to Silverton in with Blue Lakes Trail. It is indeed beautiful. And you could hike up Sneffels (local 14'er) from this side, if you are fit and up for a very, very long adventure. ...
