Telluride slumbers in the valley during sleepier times. This town has gone through many changes over the past 30 years, and will continue to do so. Telluride is now a lively community, boasting a fantastic resort and opulent life style. Besides outstanding mountaineering possibilities, Telluride also features hang gliding, hunting, 4-wheeling, fishing and many other recreational activities. This is a far cry from a time long ago pictured here.
