About this tour
The Summer Sunset Tour is a two-hour evening ride to one of the high ridges above Telluride, timed so you are in place when the last light hits the peaks. The town drops into shadow, the San Juans turn orange and pink, and the temperature falls fast.
Your guide picks the best viewpoint for that evening's sky, so the route can vary. Bring a warm layer even if it was 75 degrees on Main Street at lunch.

Great Time!
“We had a great time on the jeep tour, Pace our driver did a great job of driving (felt very safe on the small roads looking over the cliffs), he was very informative about the area, the history of Telluride, also the old mining towns. We will be doing it again when we go back to Telluride”
