If you want to hike one of the prettiest spots in the Telluride region (or Colorado for that matter...) I've got two words for you, Hope. Lake.
About 20 minutes South of Telluride (right outside Ophir, CO), Hope Lake is nestled above the beautiful Trout Lake and is a great day-hike for beginner and intermediate adventurers. Wild flowers, waterfalls, creeks, Marmots & other wildlife, blue/green lakes... I could keep going but it wouldn't give it justice. Hope Lake is BEAUTIFUL and a 'Must-Do' when visiting Telluride. The hike only takes approximately 2 - 2.5 hours (Round Trip)... if you need instructions or tips, please use the Facebook function below. Check out photos from Hope Lake:
