Telluride Wranglers

About

Telluride Wranglers is a horseback riding and camping outfitter based in Placerville, Colorado, operating on the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, and Gunnison National Forests under a USDA Forest Service special use permit. The facility functions primarily as a guided tour provider rather than a standalone public campground, requiring reservations and charging a 20% retainer fee. Services include private trail rides and multi-day pack trips, with options to ride up to campsites for activities like fly fishing. Specific trail options include routes starting from Woods Lake and traversing the Wilson Mesa Trail to the 900-acre Schmid Ranch. The area is pet-friendly, offers parking, and is accessible from May through September. The experience is rated moderate difficulty, with typical ride durations around two hours, though multi-day pack trips are also available. All rides are private, and the operation is open for trail rides with a lunch menu available.
