The town and mountains of Telluride, Colorado, are a beautiful and welcoming place. It is full of Victorian charm and tall, jagged mountains. Every visitor to Telluride falls in love. From the little shops to the ski lifts, everything is quaint and cute. The entire town is on the U.S. national register of historic sites, but Telluride’s streets are still filled with smiling faces.

photos caught your eye. Now I bet you’d like to know a little more about me. Although I’m only 20 years old, I have had experiences most other girls my age have only dreamed about. I have summited many major peaks here in the U.S. and am planning a mountain-climbing expedition overseas soon. Base jumping, zip lining, surfing, spelunking, white water river rafting -- sometimes I wonder if I will ever shy away from a challenge.
