Cappie’s Scoop: Need a walk through town, this is a fun one because you get to stop and dip your paws in the river! It was a bit cold at night but during the day, I put my paws in. Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!
Tips: This is a great trail to hike (or stroll) to get acclimated to the area before you start climbing some mountains! It’s also a great path to get from one end of town to the other. There’s even some spots to let your dog soak his paws in the river.
Directions: You can access this trail from multiple spots in downtown Telluride since it follows the San Miguel River for the length of town.
