Sunday and Travel Day Sunday we awoke to a pouring rain. We decided to hike to the falls when the rain lightened to a drizzle in the late morning. It was this day that I realized that normal raingear is not enough for comfortable hiking - you need some breathable raingear - like Gortex, Aquacheck (Land's End) or Event (REI).
End of Sunday - Telluride After a cold hike to the beautiful Bridal Veil Falls just outside of the town of Telluride, we got a pizza at Baked In Telluride. We also got a carry-out dinner there - the food is great and very convenient. It was a very early evening since we had to get up at 3am to catch the Telluride Express to Montrose for our 6am flight.
Monday - Labor Day - Flights - Montrose - Denver - Madison I highly recommend flying directly into Telluride. Since it was Labor Day weekend (and the film festival) we had little choice but to fly into Montrose and take the shuttle. The flight to Denver was on time and very smooth. At Denver, we waited the two hour layover in the United lounge. The flight to Madison was on schedule and smooth.
Trip Recommendations For a little more money, you can spend the weekend in Mountain Village at the many new and posh resorts there. The lodging in Telluride is well used, but I would book a resort in Mountain Village next time. For great food, I highly recommend Allreds, Baked in Telluride, and trying one of the many nice restaurants within Telluride. Do not book through Expedia - but rather book with the airlines directly and with the resort/hotel/condo directly. That way if you have to change plans you can work with the vendor directly. Most important - always check the fine print and restrictions when you book, and do not accept paper tickets.
