Outside Mag Recommends "Nothing"

According to Outside Magazine, Telluride is THE place to be for solitude, gorgeous scenery and freedom to your heart's content:

"Placed at the dead end of a box canyon and surrounded by 14,000-foot peaks, Telluride offers as good a setting as any town in America for a quiet summer idyll. So there's only one celebration worth attending: The Nothing Festival. For three days, there are zero planned events—but something incredible does happen. Hotels open up (try the Telluride Mountainside Inn; doubles, $119; telluridemtnsideinn.com), Main Street empties out, and a few visitors breathe easy. How to spend those days? Just bring your hiking boots and follow the directions on telluridenothingfestival.com: "Thank you for not participating." Nearest airport: Montrose, Colorado, 70 miles away."
