Ballooning Soaring in a hot air balloon is an unforgettable way to take in the spectacular scenery of the area. Flights depart from Ridgway, a scenic 38 miles from Telluride - a perfect setting for hot air balloon rides.
Flights depart early morning.
Camping There are six camping choices in the Telluride area. They include the Telluride Town Park Campground, Ilium Campground, Priest Lake, Sunshine Campground, Matterhorn Campground, and Alta Lakes Campground. This is Bluegrass Festival weekend and traditionally, securing a site is quite challanging. We suggest that if you are not attending the Bluegrass Festival to re-route and include Telluride in your trip either before or after that weekend. We want to make sure you can make the most of your time.
