They'll range from humble to haute and include shopping, drinking, sunning, and playing at various treasured spots and shops.

This week we're looking forward to...

EXPERIENCE

1) Enjoy free music! Catch the very first show of the Sunset Concert Series, Wednesday, June 24 at Mountain Village, and jam out to tunes from the Drew Emmitt Band. Sit outside at Poacher's Pub and grab a pint before heading over to the concert!

PLAY

3) Grab a bike or lace up your hiking boots and head over to the Galloping Goose Trail. This moderate trail winds down the river and offers beautiful views of the San Juans. At the bottom of the trail you can head over to the bouldering fields and try your hand at rock climbing to get that total Telluride outdoor experience! Hungry after that grueling trail? Head over to Cindy Bread (located only about a half mile from the trail head) and order a delicious sandwich.

5) If you're feeling the altitude head over to the Bubble Lounge! Experience the oxygen bar with scents of lavender, eucalyptus, and lemon grass. Grab a $3.00 PBR and play a game of foosball, Wii bowling, or just enjoy one of the many local artists performing on open mic night.
