The world famous gondola is closed until November 19th for maintenance and repair, which always signals the beginning of off-season here in Telluride. It's a great time to get out and go for a brisk hike or bike ride before the snows really start falling in earnest.
We did receive a couple of snowfalls last week, resulting in spectacular views such as this:
The coming of off-season also results in many businesses shutting their doors for a few weeks to a month for deep clean, doing inventory and to just take a well earned break from the busy summer tourist season.
Below is a list of restaurants and their off-season schedule for your reference:
