Things to do near Telluride
Your Fall cabin isn’t just a cabin—it’s your base for exploring. Telluride offers something in every season:
Summer adventures
Summer brings blue skies and full trails.
Spend your mornings hiking or biking local trails, afternoons kayaking or paddleboarding on Vallecito Lake, and evenings grilling dinner outside your cabin.
Fishing is especially popular this time of year, with plenty of opportunities around Vallecito Lake.
Fall getaways
When the crowds thin out, fall colors transform the valley.
Aspens turn gold and orange.
Hunters also find this season ideal, with easy access to the San Juan National Forest from your Fall cabin in Telluride.

With Purgatory and Wolf Creek ski resorts nearby, plus snowmobiling trails and a fully groomed Nordic track, your cabin becomes a perfect place to warm up.
