Jud Wiebe Memorial Trail

Cappie’s Scoop: This is the side of the mountain that gets the most sun so if the snow is melting, you’ll probably get some mud. I had fun squishing through the mud but mom was not happy. She kept getting her boots stuck in the mud. Yuck! Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!

Tips: We hiked the loop starting at Aspen Street and ending at Tomboy Road. You can also do this hike in reverse too! The sun shines on this side of the mountain so this trail is one of the first to clear of snow but it would also be a great snowshoe hike too. The views are truly unbeatable and there’s even a bench at its highest point to enjoy the panoramic views. The trail was named in memory of Jud Wiebe, a Forest Service recreation manager who planned the trail but passed away of cancer in 1986 before the trail was completed.

Directions: Trail starts at the north end of Aspen Street in downtown Telluride and the coordinates are for the trailhead. Parking is available nearby on the street but not at the trailhead.
