Encompassing a diverse geographic region ranging from rugged mountain plateaus to arid ranching communities, San Miguel County is a combination of unsurpassed scenic beauty, colorful heritage and modern development. Over twenty unique towns call San Miguel County home, as well as portions of the Uncompahgre National Forest and the recreational havens of the Lizard Head Wilderness and Mount Sneffels Wilderness. Two scenic byways meander through the county—the San Juan Skyway and Unaweep/Tabeguache Scenic and Historic Byway.

At the heart of San Miguel County are two unique communities: Telluride and Mountain Village. Each with its own charms, the two towns are connected by a free gondola, the only transportation system of its kind in North America. Rooted in history, Telluride is both a bustling ski town and historic jewel. Clapboard storefronts house independent art galleries, old-time bars and delectable eateries. Neighboring Mountain Village offers a modern take on nature featuring expansive views and world-class accomodations. During the winter season, Mountain Village is the place to be featuring convenient access to the slopes of Telluride Ski Resort.
