Originally a mining town, Telluride is now a major ski resort. In the summer, there are festivals almost every weekend, including the Telluride Film Festival, Telluride Blues & Brews Festival, Mushroom festival, Nothing Day festival and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. It is the county seat of San Miguel CountyGR6.
Telluride sits in a box canyon. Steep forested mountains and cliffs surround it. Spectacular Bridal Veil Falls is at the head of the canyon. Numerous weathered ruins of old mining operations dot the hillsides.
Telluride was the inspiration for Galt's Gulch in Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged.
