Telluride: See Forever Drive
See Forever Drive is best known within Colorado for serving Mountain Village, the purpose-built resort community of Telluride Ski Resort. It lies high in the San Juan Mountains, where conifer forest and developed ski terrain cover the slopes above the historic town of Telluride. Mountain Village and Telluride are linked by a free gondola, connecting the resort’s pedestrian centre with the older settlement in the valley. Telluride began as a mining camp in the late 19th century, and its historic district retains the street grid and Victorian-era buildings of that boomtown period. The surrounding San Juan range gives southwest Colorado its steep alpine character, while the resort infrastructure supports skiing, hiking and mountain biking.

Telluride combines a compact former mining-town core with a dramatic high-mountain setting in a way that reflects its position in a box canyon of Colorado’s San Juan Mountains. The San Miguel River runs through town, while steep slopes lead toward Bridal Veil Falls at the canyon’s eastern end. Founded during the late-19th-century mining boom, Telluride retains a concentrated historic district of Victorian-era commercial buildings and residences; it is designated a National Historic Landmark. A gondola connects the town with Mountain Village across the mountainside. Explore nearby webcam locations for complementary perspectives on Telluride and the San Juan Mountains.

Among the states of the United States, Colorado stands out for the high Rocky Mountain country running through its centre. Around this part of the state, forested slopes, open basins and granite outcrops form the interior landscape of the Rockies, where conditions can change rapidly with the season. The Continental Divide crosses Colorado, separating waters that flow toward the Pacific from those bound for the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The Arkansas River rises in the central Rockies and is one of the state’s major waterways. Admitted to the Union in 1876, Colorado is still known as the Centennial State.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
