Telluride, Colorado
Gondola Ride

While almost everything in Telluride is overpriced, there's one thing to do that's--surprisingly--free!  The Telluride Gondola quickly pulls you from the downtown streets (at about 8,500 feet) to the mountaintops (just over 10,000 feet).  The ride makes four stops.

At the first stop (Station San Sophia) there's not a lot to do, but you can take in a great view of the town in the valley below.  During ski season, you'll need a lift pass to get off here.

Wildflowers were thriving, during Colorado's short summer.

After Station St. Sophia, the gondola continues to what's likely the most popular stop: Station Mountain Village.  You'll find dozens of restaurants and shops here, geared towards upper-income resort visitors.

The final gondola stop (aboard a separate ride) takes you to the ski resort's parking area.
