An Epic Telluride Summer – TellurideNewb.com Wraps it Up!

Lets not beat around the bush, summer had a lot of work ahead of it. The winter brought us one of the best ski seasons we’ve ever had, and since locals constantly praised the awesomeness of Telluride summers, we had very high expectations, to say the least. But, after four months of festivals, mountain biking, backpacking and fly fishing, we can safely say that summer may actually be the best Telluride season.

Of course, not all of us got to experience the epic, sunny days traversing the Via Ferrata, riding in a hot air balloon and competing in the Lunar Cup. While Bobby and I took advantage of everything a Telluride summer possesses (minus a few), Dutch traveled around the world, exploring 16 countries throughout Europe, Asia and South America. Luckily, he returned just in time for Blues and Brews, the best and most entertaining festival of the summer (especially if you get sick of hippies easily – we’re looking at you Bluegrass!)

So, with the warm days disappearing and the sun setting earlier, it seemed only proper to finish our epic Telluride summer with a greatest hits compilation. And with off season now in full force, we’re gonna take a little break, giving us time to regroup and prepare for the unbelievable winter ahead.

Lastly, a huge thank you to the Telluride Tourism Board for hooking it up and making this summer as memorable as our first Telluride winter!
