Telluride

Visitor Guide
History and Culture Since 1887

A Place Like No Other

Welcome to our Telluride Visitor Guide! Below, you'll find our staff’s favorite picks for adventures in Telluride, all year round. Whether you’re visiting for the winter powder or the lush summer landscapes, we’ve got the insider’s scoop on what makes Telluride an unforgettable destination.

Telluride’s history is one of adventure and reinvention. First a summer home for the Ute Indians, it became a lively mining town in the 1870s, attracting fortune-seekers after silver and gold. When the railroad arrived in 1890, Telluride boomed—only to slow down when the silver market crashed in 1893.

Fast forward to the 1970s, when snow became the new treasure, transforming Telluride into the ski haven it is today. Among its quirky history is the Galloping Goose, a railbus that once braved mountain passes to deliver mail and supplies—and today, you’ll find The Galloping Goose free transportation for getting around town, a small yet memorable nod to the town’s resourceful history.

Telluride’s story is still being written, and we’re excited for you to experience the adventure, history, and warmth of this mountain town.

Mikayla

Office Manager and Wedding Coordinator

Originally from North Carolina, I bring a little southern charm (and a lot of organization) to everything I do. As the Office Manager and Wedding Coordinator, When I’m not busy keeping the office in order or helping couples plan their dream weddings, you’ll probably find me hiking a scenic trail, happily lost in a book, or playing soccer. I love being part of a team that brings people together, and I’m always here for wedding tips, book recommendations, or just a friendly chat!

[fa6-solid--paw]

Hi there! I’m Mocha—the certified TelluRides office dog, cuddle expert, and popcorn lover! My job? Boosting morale with tail wags, belly rubs, and plenty of snack inspections. When I’m not on duty, I’m off adventuring with my human, Mikayla, or catching up on naps. Stop by anytime—I’m always ready for treats and a tail wag!

Rachel

Multimedia and Marketing Supervisor

A Florida native doing my best to stay warm here in Colorado! By day, I’m the Multimedia and Marketing Supervisor, handling everything from creative content to brand strategy. But if I’m not in the office, I’m probably at home, cozied up under mountains of yarn, crocheting away with my dog, Beechnut, by my side.

[fa6-solid--paw]

Hi, I’m Beechnut—the ultimate people-loving office dog! My specialties include giving endless kisses, demanding attention, and making new human friends (seriously, I love everyone!). When I'm not busy charming the team, you’ll probably find me snoozing away and dreaming under my desk. Oh, and did I mention my obsession with sweet potatoes? I'm obsessed!

Andy

Dispatch and Staff Supervisor

As the Dispatch and Staff Supervisor for TelluRides, I’m dedicated to keeping our operations running smoothly and ensuring our customers enjoy safe and reliable transportation throughout Southwest Colorado. From coordinating schedules to managing our team, I take pride in making sure everything runs seamlessly across the beautiful region we serve, including Ridgway, Telluride, Montrose, and beyond.

When I’m not overseeing logistics, you’ll find me embracing the outdoor lifestyle that makes this area so special. I love biking through the stunning trails around Ridgway and hitting the slopes near Telluride. For me, there’s nothing better than combining my passion for the outdoors with my commitment to helping others explore and enjoy everything Southwest Colorado has to offer.

[fa6-solid--paw]

Hi, I’m Jett! I’m an energetic, frisbee-loving pup who’s always ready for an adventure. My story started on a chilly morning when Andy spotted me while driving a passenger to the airport. I must have looked like I needed a friend because he decided to bring me along—and we’ve been inseparable ever since!

Now, I get to spend my days running at full speed, catching frisbees, and exploring the amazing outdoors around Ridgway and Telluride. Whether it’s a hike, a game of fetch, or just soaking up the fresh mountain air, I’m always up for some fun. Life’s pretty great as Andy’s sidekick!

The best service on the Western Slope

  • Additional stops for groceries, lunch, etc (upon request)
  • We can assist in arranging visits to local attractions and regional tours.

  • We are locally owned, supporters of the community, who have in depth knowledge of the area to help with trip planning. 

  • Provide a personalized service to help tailor the experience to your needs. 

Here's what people are saying

  • "Super nice company all around and would recommend them to everyone!"

  • "Andy and his team helped my group solve a variety of ground transportation and logistical needs for a mountain bike trip in the area."

Why use Group Shuttles and Car Rentals when you can get a Private Limo?

Compare the cost…
  • Car rentals: It is never just the weekly rental cost with this option: gas (75 miles from Montrose to Telluride), parking at $30 a day and insurance for a 4×4 can add several hundred to the weekly rate…the cost of efficient roundtrip private service like TelluRides. Having a car in Telluride and Mountain Village can sometimes be a greater liability than a value.
  • Best Choice: Stretch out and relax with your own private vehicle service, make a stop at the grocery or liquor store, and then head directly to your destination…not an option with mixed-party shuttles.
Easy arrivals & departures…
  • We track your flight so we are there whether your plane is early or late, reducing your travel stress.
  • With our service, you are met in the terminal at baggage claim or on the tarmac and assisted with your luggage. No need to go outside and find your driver.
  • Though we assign pick-up times based on a formula for a successful departure, we can schedule pick up times to your preference. Spend extra time on the slope or soaking up the views before heading home!
  • We never schedule your pick up around other departing parties like mixed shuttle service, that way you don’t leave before you have to and know you will get to your flight on-time and relaxed.

Express Limo & Ground Transportation

Our fleet of ground transportation and transit vehicles consists of late model multi-passenger vans and large luxury SUVs. Studded snow tires are standard in this wintry paradise.  So whether you are with us on a short Montrose to Telluride shuttle ride or a longer haul from Denver to Telluride, our vehicles will ensure your safe arrival in all weather conditions.

Luxury FBO Transportation

Providing high-quality Private Jet Transportation and Luxury Limo pick up, TelluRides is the premiere transportation company for the Atlantic Aviation FBO and the Telluride Airport FBO.

Montrose, Telluride, Ridgway, wherever… we’ll get you there.
