If you've never visited the magical town of Dolores, you really need to check it out! It sits in a gorgeous valley filled by green grass, grazing cattle during the summertime with the Dolores River running through it. It's the gateway to Telluride + has a variety of restaurants, shops, + adventure options. Rent a jeep or side by side from Dolores Outfitters, grab some to go goodness at Dolores Food Market, or a mouth watering green chile burger from The Depot. You can take the back roads from our rental to get there! Up road 35, just off of Hwy 160. Kokopelli has a satellite store for bike rentals, + you can always stop by the Rock outside of town that came down a couple years ago. It was so huge it peeled the road up like butter.
