Telluride, (Co)

The tiny town of Telluride is a Rocky Mountain jewel. Wedged in a remote box canyon high in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado, it has a remarkable historic architectural landscape, staggering beauty, a past both haunting and enchanted, and an illustrious reputation for skiing and leisure. For centuries, the Ute Indians revered the region as a hunting ground but were banished in the 1880s by mineralhungry legions. This began an era of high-country camps and saloon-lined streets. Ever since, Telluride_s unique story has been one of intrepid individualism, boom and bust, celebration and conundrum.Barbour, Elizabeth is the author of 'Telluride, (Co) ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780738548500 and ISBN 0738548502.
