In Telluride they have a free Gondola to take you to the ridge top where you can hike further up.
Painted Lady on thistle
View from the top of the gondola. You can hike the ridge i'm standing on the left as high as you want. I think it gets to 13,500 (Palmyra Peak) feet after becoming a climb instead of a walk.
View of town from gondola
Town again. Houses are small in town.
Street view.

Next we went to Ouray and hiked the perimeter trail.
View ahead on the perimeter trail. Fortunately the trail took a turn and avoided this section.
Cascade falls above Ouray.
The trail passes signs of active mining.
More signs of active mining.
