We then continue to the top of the falls to explore the old Bridal Veil Powerhouse (built in 1907) and surrounding area before returning to town.
Smuggler Mine
Duration: 2 Hours
This tour leaves from town of Telluride and goes up the Tomboy Road through the Social Tunnel to the Smuggler Union mine. We will stop at the mine for photos and to explore the rich mining history in the old structures. This was one of the most successful mines in the region and still has some of the most intact structures of mines in the area.
Last Dollar Road
Duration: 2 Hours
Some consider the Last Dollar Road one of Colorado’s most scenic drives with great views of the Sneffels Range and Wilson Peak. The area is full of massive aspen groves, best seen in September/early October when the Aspens are electric yellow! This road might be arguably one of the best areas to photograph fall foliage. Early summer brings wildflowers galore, while wildlife like deer, elk and even bear can be spotted year round.

Duration: 4 Hours
This is a rugged route that passes the old Smuggler mine on its way to the ghost town of Tomboy, and then on to Imogene Pass at 13,114 feet. The Tomboy Road was once a well-traveled mining road that connected the town of Telluride and the Town of Ouray. This route generally opens for travel by late June/early July depending on snowpack.
Ophir Pass

From Telluride we travel south on Hwy. 145 to the Ames powerplant, the birthplace of electricity! From there we stop at several top-secret waterfalls en route through the town of Ophir to the rugged pass road. Ophir Pass climbs above timberline over a scree field to the 11,789 foot summit. This is our go-to route during early season (May and June) as it is always the first route to open for travel.
