What's the weather like in Telluride in July?
Summer daytime temperatures in Telluride can range from
50 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. It is common for Telluride
to have bright crisp mornings, afternoon rain showers, and
cool, clear evenings. Since you will be driving at
high-altitude, you should expect colder weather and plan
to bring a sweater, fleece, or light jacket, as well as
a weather-proof jacket or poncho.
What should I be sure to remember?
Telluride is at 8750’ above sea level and our 4x4
trails go up from there. Because of this our climate is
quite dry, so it is important to stay hydrated. Bring
plenty of water on the Tour. The weather at
high-altitude can be unpredictable, so bring warm
clothes and rain gear with you, as well as a hat or
sunglasses and sunscreen. And don't forget your
lunch!
Since this is a Rotary fundraiser, is my
registration fee tax-deductible?
All registration fees are tax deductible as the proceeds go
to the Telluride Rotary Club Scholarship Fund.
