In the evening, Telluride’s lights glow warmly in the valley below.

Sophia Station (at 10,551 feet in elevation). No other view can be compared to that of Allred’s Restaurant at St. From the upscale cuisine of the Cosmopolitan, to the modern fare of Black Iron Kitchen and Bar, it is impossible to find a backdrop in Telluride that isn’t awe-inspiring. When it comes to your rehearsal dinner, there is no shortage of first-class selections. Touring the camp is just one of many outdoor activities you and your guests can enjoy in the days before and after you say your vows. Follow in the true footsteps of the book’s protagonist, and the miners that built the town of Telluride, by taking a 4×4 Jeep tour to an elevation of 13,500 feet. A copy of “Tomboy Bride” by Harriet Fish Backus in your guests’ rooms is a unique wedding favor. As a four-diamond full-service hotel, the Madeline is the ideal place for couples to host their guests and tie the knot. The Madeline, a luxury ski-resort for travelers with sophisticated taste, is a sensation – regardless of whether you visit in the summer sunshine or the wonderland of winter. It is here you’ll find Madeline Hotel and Residences. Take a gondola ride up to the top of the mountain and back down the other side, where you’ll find the charming city of Mountain Village, a European-styled alpine village of restaurants, boutiques and family-centered mountain activities. Seated in a box canyon in the heart of the San Juan Mountains, the city is enveloped by towering peaks, thick forest and breathtaking waterfalls. Home to Tomboy Mine (formerly one of the world’s greatest gold producers), Telluride, Colorado knows a thing or two about things that sparkle.
