3 Days
A Telluride Summer for All Abilities

Telluride is as dynamic and versatile as its visitors, which is why Telluride Adaptive Sports Program (TASP) has been in operation for more than 20 years to provide individuals of all abilities an unparalleled outdoor experience in one of Colorado’s most scenic mountain towns. While Telluride is famed for its winter, it’s a local’s secret that summer is the best season, with jaw-dropping craggy peaks adorned in blankets of wildflowers and grazing elk calmly walking through backyards and along roadsides. You can travel to Telluride by car or by air — Telluride (TEX) or Montrose (MTJ) airports.
