When to Visit Telluride
In spring and fall, the weather is unpredictable,
but rates drop and the crowds are gone. Spring
is a good time for fishing, rafting, bird
watching, and wildlife viewing. In Fall,
the fish are spawning and the angling is
excellent.
Summer begins in late June or early July.
Days are warm, with highs in the 80s, and
nighttime temperatures falling to the 40s
and 50s. Winter arrives in during November,
and deep snows cover the mountains and valleys
by December. Temperatures are just above
freezing by day and below zero at night.
Winter tapers off in March, though snow lingers
into April on valley bottoms and into July
on mountain passes.
