What's the weather like in Telluride in July?
Summer daytime temperatures in Telluride can range from 50 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. It is common for Telluride to have lovely warm mornings, afternoon rain showers and cool, clear evenings. Since you will be driving at high-altitude, you should expect colder weather and plan to bring a sweater, fleece, or light jacket, as well as a weather-proof jacket or poncho.

What should I be sure to remember?
Telluride is at 8750’ above sea level and our 4x4 trails go up from there. Because of this our climate is quite dry, so it is important to stay hydrated. Bring plenty of water on the Tour. The weather at high-altitude can be unpredictable, so bring warm clothes and rain gear with you, as well as a hat or sunglasses and sunscreen.  And don't forget your lunch!

Since this is a Rotary fundraiser, is my registration fee tax-deductible?
Thanks to the generosity of Clemson 4-Wheel, all registration fees are tax deductible as the proceeds go to the Telluride Rotary Club Scholarship Fund.
