Wow, you've made it to Telluride and, yes, the mountains are just as spectacular as you thought they would be.  But the town itself has a magnetic personality which gives you pause. What has the rhythm of life looked like over the last 100 years? What stories do the historic buildings and homes in town have to tell?  Who speaks for this fascinating history?

 

 The downtown core of Telluride was designated a National Historic Landmark District in 1964. This honor has translated into a beautifully preserved Main Street and surrounding streets where Victorian homes, mining shacks and clapboard storefronts set the stage for a bustling shopping and dining district. Telluride is 12 blocks long by 8 blocks wide, perfect for a walking tour. Whether your passion is for architectural details, native flower gardens or the colorful stories behind the buildings, a historic walking tour is the perfect way to explore Telluride's rich heritage.

 

               Pricing - $25/person, minimum of 3 people. Give us a call at 970 708-3883 to co-ordinate the date and details of your tour. 

 

Ashley Boling, an engaging and gregarious person, leads a 1-2 hr walking tour of the town of Telluride.  The tour begins at the San Miguel County courthouse steps or the station at the base of the gondola. The tour covers 5 blocks of the town and goes inside the Sheridan Opera House. The tour stops at the site of Butch Cassidy's first attempted (and successful) bank robbery and finishes in the heart of the old red light district.

 

 He is also available to give talks to groups, let us know what you have in mind, and we can work out the details.
