Telluride Outfitters

Mike Doherty, a local artist and owner, leads Telluride Outfitters as a four-season guide service based in Mountain Village. The business began with snowmobile tours and has expanded to offer fly fishing, rafting, RZR adventures, and stand-up paddleboard rentals. A signature snowmobile excursion heads to the Alta Lakes Ghost Town, where the trailhead sits just five minutes from the Mountain Village office, enabling two-hour morning, afternoon, and evening trips. For deeper backcountry immersion, full-day rides travel south along Barlow Creek or up to Dunton Hot Springs. The Barlow Creek route targets proficient riders with ungroomed terrain, alpine meadows for free play, and hill climbing opportunities. The Dunton trip includes a sit-down gourmet lunch at the resort followed by a soak in natural springs. Telluride Outfitters operates as an authorized Polaris provider, utilizing their luxurious machines to navigate varied landscapes safely. Guides cater to all ages and skill levels, from beginners to advanced slednecks, ensuring a fun and educational experience.
