Since we were close by the river, we frequently used the groomed hiking path running alongside the San Mig to move around town. The sound of running water, lush undergrowth, and interesting houses to look at made each walk along the river quite nice.

We walked and biked the trails that go along the river both ways. Either way you go it is beautiful. Going toward the falls is more uphill and going out of town is flatter- easier to bike!

I love, love Switzerland, so comparing Telluride favorably is saying a lot!

Just enough rapids to make it exciting and safe. All age groups loved it!

We have a gold claim on the San Miguel River, so we are usually busy panning. It is beautiful! We see a couple rafts go down the river when we are there. Looks like fun!

You can find real gold along this river. Its a fun father/son time when you're out there along that wild river looking for lost treasure

Nice flat walk in the town of Telluride, meandering along the edge of the river.
