Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Visitors who are looking to go hiking and gain a memorable experience while in Telluride need to head toward Ajax Peak. About two and a half miles away from the town of Telluride, Ajax Peak has an elevation of 2,785 feet and would take about 4 or 5 hours to climb one way for experienced hikers.

The hike is worth the effort though, as visitors will be greeted with a stunning 360-degree view of the surrounding Bridal Veil Basin, Savage Basin, Imogene Pass, Silver Lake, and much more. The hike is non-technical and rock-climbing equipment isn’t necessary, but visitors should go prepared with sturdy shoes and additional layers of clothing to face the cool peaks.
