Two Telluride Escapes That Feel Like You’re on Top of a Mountain
Share News:
Of all the ski towns in Colorado, Telluride is definitely one of our favorites. I mean, how could you not fall in love with a town nestled in a picturesque box canyon that takes all the outdoors activities we love and throws in heaping helpings of world-class restaurants, an arts scene, and some of the most perfect views you can find?
Obviously, with Telluride taking up such a big place in our hearts, we had to wonder what could be found in this majestic mountain town that could both give us a case of weak knees and our budget could love just as much. Which of these Telluride getaways in this week’s Splurge vs. Steal would you choose: the super-modern showplace or the rustic home amid an aspen forest.
