About
Public Parking and Trailhead in Telluride serves as a starting point for moderate hikes, primarily the Bear Creek Trail. The location sits at 9,043 feet elevation within a box canyon in the San Juan Mountains. Hikers typically spend about 2 hours on the trail, which winds through aspen and pine groves. The area offers fall foliage that peaks from late September to early October, depending on yearly weather conditions. Parking is available directly at the trailhead. The site is pet friendly, and a free gondola connects downtown Telluride to Mountain Village for additional access. Trail conditions are generally well-marked and maintained, featuring some steep inclines and uneven terrain near the creek. Restrooms are available at the trailhead.
