Telluride Town Walk
Written By Karen Overn

American Dipper - begging fledgling.
There is a surprising amount of habitat variability in a short walk through Telluride so we often encounter a rich diversity of species. We typically meet in Town Park, check out the beaver pond and follow the river trail downstream to the valley floor and back. This usually takes about two to three hours and covers approximately two and a half miles roundtrip, over level ground with good footing. Charismatic resident species, such as American Dipper and Black-billed Magpie, as well as three species of trout, are joined by a host of migrant species, which varies throughout the year.
