Telluride Mountain Club

The Telluride Mountain Club’s goal is to preserve and enhance public access to human powered activities including hiking, backcountry skiing and boarding, mountaineering, climbing and other mountain related recreation.

Personal responsibility, self sufficiency and environmental stewardship are core values, as well as preserving each citizen’s right to the “Freedom of the Hills.”

Originally conceived as an avalanche-education organization in 1986, the Telluride Mountain Club (TMtC) evolved towards access advocacy and promoting responsible, safe backcountry travel and recreation.

If you enjoy hiking, backcountry touring, climbing, and/or exploring the San Juan mountains, we encourage you to join us and help make our alpine community a stronger, better and more cohesive group.

Telluride Mountain Club is a 501C-3 non-profit organization.
