Unfortunately, Denver has been rated third in the nation for Worst Traffic. However, most of this traffic happens during the morning and evening rush hours.

Telluride, Colorado is not only a part time home to Oprah, Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes, Christie Brinkley, and Oliver Stone- it is also one of Colorado’s hottest spots to visit, even when it is so very cold!
The weather isn’t something to get in the way of Telluride’s rhythm in the least. When the sun shines you can go rafting, hiking, rock climbing, fly-fishing, mountain biking, horseback riding or take a 4 X 4 tour. When the snow comes you can go skiing, snowboarding, ice climbing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, sleigh riding, and (believe it or not) fly-fishing!
Telluride is also home …read more
