Walking the Story: A Historical Tour of Telluride with Ashley Boling

Filling

Hospitality & Registration - Mountain Village nearest Tomboy Tavern @ 455 Mountain Village Blvd, Mountain Village, CO 81435, USA

Limited Capacity filling up

Every town has a heartbeat. Telluride's just happens to be wilder, stranger, and more beautiful than most. Join Ashley Boling for a guided walk through the storied streets of one of Colorado's most legendary mountain towns — a place that has reinvented itself again and again through hardship, creativity, and the fierce devotion of the people who called it home. From the early presence of the Ute people to its mining-boom roots, from the world's first alternating current at the Ames hydro-electric power plant to Butch Cassidy's very first bank robbery, from its counterculture renaissance to the vibrant festival culture that pulses through it today — Telluride's history is a living, breathing testament to what becomes possible when a community chooses to show up for itself and for one another.

Along the way, we'll step inside two places where that community spirit is still very much alive: the magnificent Sheridan Opera House and the legendary New Sheridan Hotel and Saloon. Part history lesson, part love letter to place, this walk is a beautiful reminder that the town holding us this weekend has its own extraordinary story of thriving together — and that we are, for these few days, part of it.

Difficulty: Easy
Distance: Approximately 1–1.5 miles
Elevation Gain: Minimal
Time: Approximately 1.5 hours — note that this tour starts and ends in Telluride, requiring a 15-minute gondola ride back to Mountain Village.

The river has always known how to let go — and in her company, so can we. Join Melanie for a sacred and unhurried walk along the San Miguel River, where ancient stories of Hindu River Goddesses meet the living landscape of Telluride. Along the way, Melanie will pause at sacred spots — including a waterfall — to share mythologies of the great River Goddesses, lead chanting and meditation, and guide a letting-go ritual offering flower petals to the water.

What are you ready to release? What becomes possible when you do? This is a walk for the soul as much as the body — one that returns you to yourself, lighter and more alive, and more capable of showing up fully for the life and community that awaits you.

Tea has always been a communal practice—one that slows time, opens conversation, and reminds us we are not meant to thrive alone. This accessible tea trek leads us along a mostly flat trail, with one steady uphill that rewards us with entry into a serene aspen grove.

Here, we’ll share a grounding tea ceremony rooted in mindfulness and contemplative awareness, followed by a discussion on tea as a sustainable daily ritual that supports nervous system health, emotional balance, and meaningful connection. Inspired by the theme Thriving Together, this experience explores how personal rituals become acts of service—cultivating clarity, generosity, and the capacity to show up more fully for ourselves and others.
