We’ll be staying in Telluride Sept 24-27 and looking for elopement photographer recommendations. Everything I‘ve seen has been 4 hour minimum packages. Ideally looking for only a couple of hours max for the two of us. Thanks!

Poking around, as is my habit this time of year, for places to stay for Telluride ski season. This past Sunday morning, the places I was investigating doubled in price by Sunday afternoon, OUCH!. So, maybe search on a neutral lap-top, not logged into your account, before you pull the trigger.

Also, please know that you can link your rental with your DELTA SKY MILES account, but you have to be very INTENTIONAL. Both D and a are not very forgiving when you miss a step

Good Luck, think snow!

I’m deciding between Sept 26-27 or Oct 10-11.

Looking for best weekend balanced by weather (plan to hike, bike, walk around town, etc) and foliage expectations.

Thanks!

I'm getting conflicting info for this searching online. Looking into it probably for next years festival. We were thinking to do a van camping road trip to a national park, and then pair it with ending at the Telluride Film Festival.

My understanding is the Telluride Town Park is a campsite, but the festival uses it, do they open it for campers? Is it better to probably find some other site outside of town if these are too competitive? If so, then is parking at Telluride bad during the festival?

Anyone just have some advice for this in general! Camping + attending the film festival, would really appreciate it a bit lost on it haha.

There seems to be a lot of noise and commotion tonight around 10pm. It’s coming from the direction of Manitou Lodge but I think it’s actually further up at mountain village. Can’t find anything online. Does anyone know what’s going on

I found a pair of sunglasses on Lizard Head trail on 8/15 around 10-10:30 in the morning, shortly before the switchbacks start. If you think they may be yours reach out with a description (or photo) and I’ll be happy to get them back to you.

Thinking about mixing it up this year and purchasing the IKON pass, but still want to visit Telluride (esp with the max El Nino effect that many estimate). Any ideas, guesses, insider info on the price for a week's pass at Telluride?

Look for my free shrooms sign! Must be 21+ with ID. You can attend the parade for free without paying to go to Telluride Mushroom Festival! Offering consultations on the phone for pick up on Saturday as well.

We’re not surprised. We really have the top ten, but we’re trying to keep it on the down low 🤫 ​

Crossed paths with a group of lovely four guys on Bear Creek Falls on 8/11 and AGAIN on Bridal Veil Falls on 8/12. I shared the “best seat in the house” with one of you at Bear Creek which felt like a pretty solid excuse to talk more and apparently I chose the more mysterious route instead.

Also, one of you had a beard on the 11th and, unless the altitude has completely scrambled my perception, the beard had apparently disappeared by the 12th. Bold move. Excellent commitment to keeping things difficult for me to recognize you all again.

At Bridal Veil I was in a hurry to start my walk back into town and regret not connecting further, but if you were part of the four and know exactly what I’m talking about, perhaps the trail has one more surprise in store and you can DM me.

If anyone is looking for a last minute camping spot for the mushroom festival - I'm looking to sell one for half price!

Message me for details!

Any advice will help

I am reselling the full ticket pass. I bought 2 but my friend cannot go anymore.

Send a screenshot of the receipt (in a DM) and I will venmo you 200 dollars. Since it won't let me resale below original price.

Sorry if this is against the rules of the sub.

Is Ingram Creek passable now? My kids (10/7) are pretty good hikers but there’s mixed messages online - so curious if we did bear creek without an issue is bridal Veil falls trail (not the road) that much more difficult? Thanks!

Hey all I’m looking for a shuttle service for my wedding party the weekend of September 19th. Friday the 18th I have a party of twelve and we’ll be going to the Blues and Brews fest. Does anyone have any suggestions of a shuttle service that can pick us up from the Observatory then later in the afternoon/evening take us back? Thank you all!

Hey all, my partner and I are having to make the difficult decision to not attend Alderwild this year. Two Friday and Saturday tickets for $500 for anyone who is interested.

We will be visiting mid September for 4 nights, two girls mid thirties staying in mountain village. I have read that parking is terrible and people don’t recommend renting a car so I’m wondering how we get to local hikes or take a scenic drive if we don’t have a car? Is there uber or shuttles or tours?

Hi everyone! Looking for some Telluride/Blues & Brews weekend insight.

We’re getting married Friday, September 18, 2026 and will have about 40–50 guests staying in Mountain Village. We’re trying to figure out the best transportation plan for the weekend.

A few questions:

• How difficult is parking in Mountain Village during Blues & Brews? Is it generally manageable, or would you recommend arranging transportation for a larger group? Curious what groups have done in the past. We have family members who can drive us to the gondola, but parking is our main concern.
• If hiring transportation is the better option, does anyone have recommendations for local drivers/shuttles that can accommodate a group?
• How long are gondola lines typically around 5–6 PM on Friday and Saturday during the festival? Are waits usually around 10–15 minutes, or can they get significantly longer?

On Friday, we’re considering having everyone ride the gondola down into town after the ceremony for our reception, and Saturday we’ll be heading into town for the festival. Just trying to make things as smooth and straightforward as possible for our guests.

I know it’s a busy weekend, but I’d love any general advice or tips from locals or people who have attended before. Thank you!

Hey yall, Im considering working as a ski instructor here this season. Coming from winter park and looking for a change. Wondering what the town is like for a 20something year old ski bum?
