The high mountain country of Colorado can have all four seasons daily so packing for a visit can be a challenge to those who are used to having summer be hot and consistent.

It is important to have clothes that can be worn in layers because the temperature can change rapidly in Telluride and all other Colorado mountain areas. Early mornings are usually cool to cold so having a medium weight jacket is advisable as is a sweatshirt, sweater or hoodie. Wearing a t-shirt or tank top under the warmer clothing will help you stay comfortable most of the day.The full explanation can be found at http://www.travelpod.com/travel-blog-entries/cheyenneus/1/1311940185/tpod.html Also bring a light, long-sleeved shirt to protect yourself from the sun.

Jeans or warm slacks are usually more comfortable in the mornings and late evenings while shorts can be worn comfortably during the midday.

If you are planning on any hiking, sturdy shoes are a must. The mountains are rocky and rough so you need good ankle support and sweat-absorbing socks for hiking. Sandals are fine for around town.

Packing a warm hat and a sun hat are also a good idea. At high altitude the sun is stronger so remember to use sunscreen on a regular basis as you will burn must faster at this altitude because the air is thinner and offers less protection.
