Telluride Area Activities
Silverton is an hour or so away from Telluride. You can make the journey on paved highways or over the unpaved Ophir mountain pass. I recommend Ophir Pass if you have the time, a high-clearance vehicle and a sense of adventure.
Once in Silverton, you will find a quaint Colorado mountain town. You will also find the [...]

Located about 7-miles outside of Steamboat Springs, Strawberry Park is set in an alpine valley at an elevation of approximately 7,500-feet. Don’t expect a 5-star resort with [...]

Sixty-nine years of Denver to Winter Park train service has ended with the sale of the train. The current owners cite difficult economic times as the culprit.
The train with 1915-vintage cars was resurrected once in 1988 when new cars were placed in-service. The ski train flourished with passengers tripling. The Denver Partnership awarded the Ski Train [...]
