About
The Meadows Trail is a short, easy hiking route in Telluride, Colorado, located within the Mountain Village area. The trail begins approximately 1/4 mile west of the Big Billies Apartments on Adams Ranch Road. It descends roughly 450 feet from its starting point toward the Telluride Valley Floor, eventually accessing the Lawson Hill neighborhood near Highway 145. The initial segment of the hike passes through wooded areas along the edge of Mountain Village before crossing Highway 145. The trail surface is natural ground, which may be muddy after rain, and sturdy footwear is recommended. Bicycles are permitted on the trail. The area is also noted as a snowshoeing option during winter months.
