  • More or less a Zen look at Autumn in Telluride, Colorado.
    Telluride is located at an elevation of 8,750 feet in an isolated spot in Southwest Colorado. From the west, Colorado Route 145 is the most common way into Telluride; however, there are two alternate passes to enter the town: Imogene Pass and Black Bear Pass.
    On the eastern side of town, there are two waterfalls, Ingram Falls, which is visible from town, and Bridal Veil Falls and the Bridal Veil Hydroelectric plant, which are just out of sight from town to the right of Ingram. The power plant house was leased for a period of time by Eric Jacobsen, who restored the house and the generator inside. The hydroelectric plant was built in 1895 to power the Smuggler-Union Mine. It is the second-oldest alternating current power plant in the world, the first being the Ames Hydroelectric Generating Plant near Ophir, Colorado, also in San Miguel County.

    The town is served by air transportation via Telluride Regional Airport (TEX), the highest altitude commercial airport in the United States. The airport is considered challenging by pilots because of frequent adverse weather conditions, high altitude, and the extremely rugged mountain terrain which surrounds the airport on nearly all sides. Major airline service is provided seasonally into Montrose, approximately 70 miles north by road.
    Beyond the ski lifts, Telluride is now widely recognized as an all-season resort. Telluride Ski Resort is definitely the main attraction in the winter. But when summer comes around, Telluride transforms into an outdoor recreation hot spot, with tourists visiting to enjoy mountain biking, hiking, river rafting, sightseeing and more. The Telluride Tourism Board promotes tourism in the region.
    Telluride is also home to many endurance events. The Hardrock 100, held in July, has a major aid station in the town park. The Fall Tilt, a 12-hour downhill mountain biking event, is held in Mountain Village each September. And the 40-mile Telluride Mountain Run loops the town in a wide swathe that includes some of the most difficult and scenic trails in the area.
    Telluride, along with Ridgway, are the two cities closest to the New Mexico, Utah and Nevada that allow the recreational sales of marijuana.

      Lavern man I can’t tell you just how life affirming it was. On so many levels.
      They even gave me my own radio show on Saturday afternoons on KOTO Radio.
      What a dream come true for sure.

    Very nice! Too bad you didn't get to ride the Gondola on a day with no moisture on the glass; the drops of rain or dew were a bit distracting at times (from enjoying the scenery). I also usually don't like music overlays on nature/scenery videos - but the music you chose works well in this case. Well done!

    • @MichaelJirochVisualArtist
      @MichaelJirochVisualArtist  8 лет назад +4

      I know what you mean about the dew drops, it is distracting. As a film maker on a budget, there were no other options of doing it another day. Or having minions stop the gondola and wipe with towels. It could be worse...I took a gondola up the Matterhorn in Switzerland, with Bird droppings on the window. Very, very distracting. Thanks for the compliments...very much appreciated.
