Steep, fun and really a pretty easy to find trail considering it’s unmarked!

This drive was all sorts of fun .. we had 3 seasons of weather and ended up in Silverton to dry out.. Then we drive to Clear Lake then back to Ouray and Ridgway.

This is an awesome trail area.. we jeeper to the top of Yankeeboy Basin then chose the hike to Blue Lakes .. you can hike to
MT Sneffles from here as well.. 13,000 ft we got rain and ice pellets for about 20 mins .. the trail up to the summit does have a difficult section that is slick and steep .. a good pair of hiking shoes is recommended!

Amazing views the entire time. I would have stopped more often to record video and photos but we were racing sunlight. I would go 2-3 hours before sunset to get some spectacular views of the sun beaming through the clouds onto the mountain sides. Also, look out for deer. They aren’t afraid to stay within 10 yards of the vehicle.

Neat and quick accent let you view city from
birds eye view. Went by waterfalls and box canyon and were able to take 2 pugs on the trail. The bridge over box canon was scary for the dogs as you could see below you!

Great views, somewhat challenging. I would like to do the entire Perimeter Trail

Trailhead was 50 yards from my condo. Lots of hikers. Moderate for my level but definitely a great workout. The top of the falls was really cool.

This was.a very challenging hike to get up to falls, but it was worth the pain to get to there. The bright side is that it’s all downhill the way back!

Awesome trail. Tons of awesome views and just enough obstacles to keep you on your toes.

Scenery is 5 stars, actual hiking is 3 stars. Depending on where you park on the road up to Bridal Veil, you’ve got some road hiking (hitch a ride up with a passerby). Then, once atop the falls, it’s more road hiking, albeit with no cars, all the way to the lake. It’s a very rocky path. Easy to get off route as there are several other old mining roads around and none are signed. Gaia GPS to the rescue!

Great views and nicely laid out scree steps. A little route finding required at the top to loop around the backside but not too bad.

Last Dollar pass is a great introduction to driving mountain passes in Colorado.

Great morning hike; even with 3/4 of the trail was still covered in snow. The lakes were frozen over still as well.

Very scenic hike with excellent views of the valley. There is a good stopping point with a running river and big boulder as shade if you can’t make it to the falls. This was one of my first hikes in Telluride

The perimeter trail was awesome a few sketchy parts with snow and ice but overall the views are fantastic can’t wait to do it again.

Nice and easy drive for a vehicle with high clearance. There were some deep ruts that may have stopped some smaller vehicles. Great scenery and made for a good day.

Excellent family friendly hike up to the falls. There is a great spot about midway to have a snack break with incredible views of the mountains looking behind you. Avalanche remnants are there, excellent scenery and then you end with the waterfalls that are so refreshing after a moderated hike!

I don't see why this trail is rated difficult... it's several switchbacks, but the elevation gain is not too terribly difficult. The views looking back on the town of Telluride are priceless. Great views of Bridal Veil falls as well.

Awesome off road trail. Not easy but not too tough either. Only a few skid plate contacts and nobody got stuck. (Tacoma with 3” lift and 285’s)

This hiker only modification to the popular Village Trail takes you directly to or from the Mountain Village core and the Gondola. The very bottom is in the Telski Bike Park so use caution in this area including leashing up a dog.

In Telluride the Bear Creek trail. After 2.5 miles a gorgeous water falls. You can use switch backs to hike to the top. We steep sections and single track but fairly moderate to easy.

I started out at 950 am and hiked the Ouray end of the Dallas trail out and back. Very good for the most part. The was one tree I needed to crawl under and several more to climb over. Most of the streams were easy crossings. Moonshine Park was fabulous with great views of the Cimarrons. I wanted to get better pictures of the Sneffels range so extended the hike about 1/3 mile up a hill into a small park. Takes almost as long to come down 3000 ft as going up because of steep switchbacks near the beginning. Finished at 345. My wife and pup picked me up at the trailhead and we went into Ridgway, True Grit Cafe, for a well-earned Salmon, cranberry, almond, and blue cheese salad and a lot of tea. Highly recommended!
