The Mine Boulders
Two miles east of the Town of Telluride are many fun boulders. Park after the second switchback (or walk up the road), well out of the way of the traffic. The first boulder can be seen from the road (it’s almost on it). Other fine boulders can be found by hiking east along the trail. Pads are highly recommended as some of the boulders offer high-ball problems up to 35’ off the ground. These boulders are on PRIVATE LAND! The Idarado Mining Company barely tolerates climbers; DO NOT PLACE FIXED GEAR in any of these boulders.
