One of my favorite animals to see in the summer is the yellow-bellied marmot. They are essentially large ground squirrels that live above 6,500 feet in elevation and hibernate in the winter.
Originally the location for a summer camp by Ute Indians, then a mining camp called Columbia, Telluride became a town in 1878. This remote town in the San Juan Mountains became part of the National Historic Landmark District in 1964, and later became a destination ski resort. There are many year-round activities to enjoy in the beautiful surroundings of the mountains, and after only one visit to Telluride, it will become a part of you forever.
All of the photographs on this blog were taken by me unless otherwise noted. If you would like to use any of these, please contact me at mtsrool@gmail.com. Thanks!
Welcome to my blog! I live in beautiful Telluride, Colorado with my husband and three kids. I started blogging for family and friends to keep up with what we have been doing and it has kind of turned into an on-line diary for myself also full of my favorite photos.

All the time I spent in Colorado, I never saw one.
Wow! I have never seen one in real life. Cute!!
Cute marmot photo! We saw one waddling across a mountain road last week. Unfortunately, we didn't have the camera at the ready.
He looks like he is playing hide and seek with you!
