About

The Idarado Legacy Trail is a 1.24-mile paved path in Telluride, Colorado, connecting Town Park to the historic Idarado Mill at the east end of the valley. Starting from the entrance to Town Park or the San Miguel River Trail, the route heads eastward with a gentle climb toward the mill. The trail is easy and suitable for hiking, biking, and walking dogs. Interpretive signs and plaques along the way detail the area's mining heritage. Parking is available at the trailhead. The trail terminates just before the Pandora Mill, where the paved surface meets a road.
