Surrounded by the highest concentration of 13,000- and 14,000-foot peaks in the United States, Telluride prides itself on a lack of crowds, a world-renowned ski terrain and its Victorian architecture. There are a number of amazing pastimes to enjoy during the summer: adventure activities with ropes courses and bungee trampolines, biking the San Juan Mountains or golfing with the Rockies as your backdrop. However you decide to experience the delights of Telluride, the Hotel Madeline is a superb adventure basecamp with a relaxed mountain style — located steps away from hiking trails and accessible to Colorado’s rugged backcountry and waterways. As a means to cool off on a hot summer day, you can splash about while tubing down the meandering San Miguel River. For a more aquatic workout, take a paddleboard on Trout Lake and Wild Boy Lake; this is a great activity for fitness and balance. Or go shopping at historic Colorado Avenue, where at the corner of Colorado and Pine streets was the site of Butch Cassidy’s first bank heist!
