Telluride, Mountain town in Colorado, United States.
Telluride sits within a box canyon at 2,667 meters elevation, surrounded by the San Juan Mountains and connected to Mountain Village by a gondola system.
The town emerged in 1878 as a silver mining settlement, with Butch Cassidy conducting his first major bank robbery at San Miguel Valley Bank in 1889.
The National Historic District contains numerous 19th-century buildings, reflecting the architectural heritage of Colorado's mining period through Victorian-era structures.
Visitors can access Telluride through regional airports, with regular shuttle services operating between transportation hubs and the mountain destination.
The free gondola transportation system operates year-round, carrying passengers between Telluride and Mountain Village while offering views of Bridal Veil Falls.
