We have been using their huts for years. They are consistently fantastic. The locations of the huts are prime! Everyone with SJ huts are always great to work with. ~ Dan Gragert, Omaha, Nebraska

What We Bring

San Juan Huts Articles, San Juan Huts Blog

I just finished the Telluride to Moab trip with six friends. I feel like we nailed our gear: we used everything we brought and did not really need anything we didn’t bring. We had everything we needed and our total kits weighed about 10lbs each. This list should vary depending on the weather and your mechanical skill set as a group. We rode in August with a good weather forecast.

Telluride to Gateway is a great introductory ride for those who are overwhelmed by our longer wild adventures or those who need to fit their entire vacation into a week. This is a 4 night/ 5 day ride that uses the first 4 huts on the Telluride to Moab Route. Out of the shorter trips, this offers the most options for riders looking for singletrack trails. You will start in the San Juans before heading out onto the Uncompahgre Plateau. On the final day of this trip you will descend down into the canyon lands of Gateway. You will need to arrange a shuttle to pick you up in Gateway. Most riders will return to Telluride or Grand Junction.

Durango to Paradox is a 4 night/ 5 day ride that uses the first 4 huts on the longer Durango to Moab Route. The first two days, you’ll cross the alpine terrain of the San Juan Mountains. Then you will descend into the high mountain deserts above Paradox. The first day boasts a great singletrack alternate on the Colorado Trail which is not to be missed if you are a strong singletrack rider. The second and fourth day have great singletrack options as well. You will need to schedule a shuttle to pick you up in the tiny town of Paradox, CO. Although this trip misses out on the last two days of riding in the La Sal Mountains, it is perfect for those adventurers who must fit their entire vacation into a week.

Getting to Telluride

  • By Car

    Telluride is located in Southwestern Colorado on State Highway 145 in the San Juan Mountains. It takes under 3 hrs from Moab, 2.5 hrs from Grand Junction, and 6 hrs from Denver to drive to Telluride. All roads to Telluride are scenic.

  • By Plane

    Flying into Telluride Regional Airport (TEX) is often the most convenient but also often the most expensive way to get to Telluride which is serviced by Frontier and United Airlines. Most flights will have a layover in Denver. Another good (and often cheaper) option is to fly into Montrose (MTJ) from eight major cities across the United States! Once you arrive at the airport, it’s a 66-mile drive to the town of Telluride. Many Telluride hotels provide free shuttle services. There are several companies that also provide shuttles.

    The least expensive option (especially for large groups) can be to fly into Grand Junction Regional Airport (GJT) and then shuttle to Telluride and then back from Moab. There are five different carriers that service Grand Junction.

Getting to Moab

  • By Bike

    Mountain Bike 215 miles of awesome singletrack and dirt roads, obviously the best way!

  • By Car

    Highway 191 runs through Moab. The city lies 40 miles south of Highway 50.

  • By Plane

    Limited daily flights are available directly into the Canyonlands Field Airport (CNY). Car rental service is available at the Moab Airport through Enterprise Rent a Car. Shuttle service is also available from the airport.

Getting to Gateway

By Car

Highway 141 runs through the very small town of Gateway. Driving time from Grand Junction is 1 hr 15 min, from Montrose it is 2 hrs, and from Telluride it is 2 hrs 15 min. The drive from either direction is stunning. Shuttles out of Grand Junction, Telluride, and Moab are available.

Getting to Durango

  • By Car

    Take Highways 160 or 550. Most roads to Durango are scenic.

  • By Plane

    Fly to Durango-La Plata Airport. There are over a dozen flights daily from Denver International Airport and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. You can also fly in from over 300 other cities.
