Telluride [1] is located in the southern Rocky Mountains approximately 100 miles from Four Corners, the intersection of Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah. A remote boomtown established at an elevation of 8745' in the heyday of Colorado's gold and silver mining era, the Town of Telluride was incorporated in 1878. Present-day Telluride is home to the Telluride Ski Resort, and home of an independent film festival.
