Have you been to Telluride during shoulder season? It is winding down as they make room for the Memorial Day tourists soon. I wanted to go this past weekend as a Mother's Day adventure. There were still plenty of places open for business. A few I had not been to.

Telluride has plenty to do year-round. For instance, I love riding the Gondola up to Mountain Village, but it was closed for the off-season. It will reopen on Memorial Day weekend. Just walking up and down Colorado Ave was so fun. I feel like I got to see so much more without the crowds.

If you love great food and craft beer, Telluride is worth a visit. I always feel so happy when I'm there. I've tried several restaurants during my many-day trips since it is only an hour and 20 minutes from Montrose. Summer is on the way and so are the Festivals. The 50th Annual Bluegrass Festival is coming up June 15-18. Also, another popular one is the Telluride Blues and Brews on September 15 thru the 17th.

If you have been to Telluride I'm sure you know the endless Mountain beauty is breathtaking. I have visited several times in the winter months as well, and love the sledding hills. One day I hope to ski there. Enjoy my list of cool places to check out, I'm sure I missed a few.
