Telluride Town is a wonderful little place....everything is in walking distance....there are some amazing restaurants and cafes...there is also a "free box" in town where locals leave things they no longer need for people who are in need. It is I think mandatory to own dogs and we met a lot of people who had rescued dogs. There are great little clothing stores for all types as well as many gift stores. One store that I liked in particular had many German paintings, christmas ornaments and some paintings done by a former local woman who also wrote a book called Tails of Telluride....about all of the dogs she knew in Telluride...their name and their story with lovely illustrations (I had to buy it ). Everyone in Telluride is very friendly making this a great place to visit....or live if you are lucky enough! : )

Kate - It looks as though you continue past the bottom of the ski runs and take a right onto Main Street! Minus the cars, it has an old western town look. A beautiful shot with the rugged mountains in the background. Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine

It is as Thad says KT. I love the play on words on Tails of Telluride. I think the box is a great idea. No need to have garage sales to pass the stuff around. I would like to see it when the town was completely deserted. Excellent post.

What a great backdrop the town has! Nothing better than snow covered mountains. Great thing that drop off box is, too. Telluride is just the kind of place I would love to retire to. I retired almost a year ago, so I guess I better get a move on. LOL. Very nice shot.

Spent some time near there several years ago, and Telluride was where we "went to town", thanks for the memories! Lot of beautiful country around that area.

I can almost imagine prospectors and outlaws and rowdy saloons lining that street. Great shot!
