As we enter the holiday weekend, I wanted to take this opportunity to further explain our public health approach with summer in full swing.

First, I know you will join me in saying how thankful I am that all of our new COVID-19 cases are recovering well. Immediate contact tracing and increased access to test literally hundreds of people, has allowed us to help contain the potential pockets of spread and continue to refine our process for responding to this virus.

As we assess our public health approach, we regularly examine these four main metrics:

Transmission: caseload with an eye on potential surge.
Test: access and the ability to conduct PCR testing.
Trace: the ability to quickly and effectively contact trace.
Treat: meet the…

Browsing local history will be by appointment only

The solid stone building at the top of North Fir Street has seen it all, from floods to fires, mining catastrophes and strikes, births and deaths — it was once a hospital, after all — scads of giddy skiers and all the small triumphs and heartbreaks of life in a remote mountain town. And, when it comes to rampant virus outbreaks, the current COVID-19 pandemic is not the building’s first. But, when it comes to accepting visitors again after a lengthy shutdown, there is no how-to manual, according to Kiernan Lannon, executive director of the Telluride Historical Museum (THM). The beloved institution is reopening July 1, by appointment…

Whether shopping for locally grown produce, fine handcrafted jewelry and crafts, or even seeking to minimize your plastic consumption by beefing up on bulk supplies, Mountain Village’s Market on the Plaza has your bok … choy, that is.

Beginning today (Wednesday), the open-air market will return to the village for its 10th season, with vendors in Heritage Plaza offering their wares from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. each Wednesday through Sept. 2. To offer the weekly outdoor market while abiding by public…

We encourage everyone to stay safe and practice all protocols that maintain best health practices. If you are interested in traveling by air, we'd like to share with you the most current updates for summer travel.

The Montrose Regional Airport (MTJ) is the primary airport for Telluride, and is a scenic 65 miles away. During the winter months, guests can take advantage of nonstop flights from 11 major hubs, and summer offers nonstop service from 5 major U.S. cities. Several transportation companies provide service from Telluride to Montrose. Rental cars are also available at the Montrose Airport, but we recommend the ground transportation option as once you arrive in Telluride a car is unnecessary.

A river rechanneling and tailings recap project on the west end of the Valley Floor has been put in motion this week after a year’s delay. 

Originally green-lighted by Telluride Town Council last year, the project was put on hold when abundant winter snowpack made for what town project manager Lance McDonald called “abnormally high flows in June and July.” But this year, conditions…

Telluride eateries reopening responsibly

By Justin Criado, Editor 16 hrs ago 

While the Town of Telluride enters the second week of reopening the local economy, businesses are adapting to the new public health guidelines. Eateries are now open to in-person business, which includes a 50-percent or 50-percon, whichever is less, capacity limit. The county’s guidelines also limit groups to no more than eight people at a time.

The Butcher & The Baker is one of the most popular spots on Main Street, as out-the-door lines often form during busy summer weekends, particularly when there’s a festival or other large event happening in town.

Front-of-house manager Lollie Lavercombe explained the coffee shop has reopened for Sunday brunch from 8 a.m. to 2…
