Telluride is a town located in San Miguel County in southwestern Colorado on the San Miguel River on the west side of the San Juan Mountains.
Telluride sits in a glacially formed U-shaped valley.
Telluride, originally named Columbia, a name rejected by the post office, was named after a rare rich gold ore, Telluridium, which was never actually found in the mountains of Telluride.
Telluride was founded by miners looking to make their fortunes in gold and silver in 1878 and was, at the height of its heyday, made up of 5,000 rough and ready men - and women.
Telluride is located 127 miles southeast of Grand Junction and 125 miles from Durango, CO. Four airlines (American, Continental, United and America West) from six major cities (Chicago, Dallas Fort Worth, Houston, Newark, Denver and Phoenix) fly into either Montrose (65 miles from the resort) or Telluride (6 miles from town).
Telluride increases its winter jet service by 10 percent with the addition of Continental Airlines' 50-seat regional jet from LAX and an additional 104-seat, 737-500 flight on Saturday from Newark (EWR) to Montrose (MTJ), a 65 scenic miles from the ski area.
