san miguel river

The river is never far away and always welcome. Not too big, not too small, the San Miguel is great every day. The trail along the river is a daily must-do while staying in Telluride.

We caught a few fish on this river for the short amount of time we fished it. There are some really pretty places you can park on the side of the road and walk to.

This is a river, the size of a creek a beautiful Colorado creek we packed a nice lunch and walked down to the river a enjoyed the best three hour lunch ever.

A beautiful, clear river that runs through the backside of town, There is a trail to stroll next to it, or you can cross it as a gateway to Aspen lined trails and up to a waterfall.

This is a great trail for your first day in high altitude or before or after an early dinner. Pretty scenery, calming noises from the stream rushing past, and fun watching dogs and kids having fun in and around the water. The water is so clear and the rocks under the water are so pretty.

Not much on hiking this is a pretty easy walk with great views and can take you to the falls! Wathcin the water and hearing the sounds of nature as their meant to be enjoyed.

We went with local guide down San Miguel river for about 9-10 mile white water rafting trip. It was really pleasant in the afternoon with water being very cold and sunny temps around 88 degrees. Our group had 5 rafts and we all managed to get through with no one going overboard. This trip would be good for children as well. Was not too rough. Will definitely do again!

I did the river was 3 times in less than 1 day. It is just so beautiful and relaxing. Chatted with many locals and watched them play with their dogs. It is a very easy walk that anyone can do - all level, packed down dirt.

take the river walk east of town for some great views and an easy walk that is one of the few that is not uphill in Telluride.

Went for a run along the river trail. Very, very pretty and away from the roads. There are other trails near town, but this one is easy and quiet.

We were lucky to be staying riverside and it was an easy walk to the gondola and lift 7 although the riverside. Caution may be needed at night after a few drinks in the winter, could be easy to slip in!!!

I walked along this hiking path which follows the San Miguel River. This was a nice outing on one of the days that we did not ski. Many other people were out enjoying the trail as well. Some people were walking their dogs. I am a bird watcher and found several interesting birds in and around the river including American Dipper, Mallards, Wilsons Snipe, Mountain Chickadee, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Black-billed Magpie, Dark-Eyed Junco, etc.

The San Miguel follows the highway for miles on the way to Telluride. It is a popular fly fishing stream, and has spectacular colors in the fall.

A great spot to stroll along the river with dogs &/or kids to enjoy the incredible views! Easy access to restaurants, shops & pubs on the side streets.

You can follow the river on one side that is a park trail. There are wildflowers and wildlife everywhere and beautiful mountain views. The river leads to some falls which are worth the hike to see. Occasionally there are bear sitings
