If you are facing a long weekend and don't know what to do, consider coming to Telluride. There is no more snow and our spring colors are out (Spring in the Mountains starts in May, not March). If you are worried about the weather ruining a hiking trip, then just plan to duck into a movie. The Telluride Mountain Film Festival is this weekend. Movies start Friday night and continue through Monday morning.

The best thing about Mountain Film is that it is a film festival about real things and if you attend the festival, you have the opportunity to meet people involved in a wide range of issues. Many years ago I attended the London Film Festival. I had a blast and saw a lot of movies, a few stars, and while one film I saw was based on the truths of human trafficing, it was still a fictional film about fictional characters living fictional lives.

This week the town of Telluride is enjoying a little more down time before Summer fully begins. Locals are spending time rafting, fishing, horseback riding, and doing a lot of things people come here to do during a summer vacation. School isn't out quite yet- just one more week before graduation, but that hasn't stopped most of the kids of Telluride from wearing summer attire of flip flops, shorts, and tank tops.
