A note from the homeowner to their guests: We moved to Telluride in 1962. We were a mining engineer and a school teacher. We bought a house in town in 1963 and we sold it in 1979 after being gone from Telluride for three years. After longing for Telluride and the mountains – we bought a condo in the Viking Lodge in 1992. We like the Viking because it sits between Lift 7 and the Gondola and it is a quiet area. The River Trail is handy and fun to walk on and we appreciate it being a second-floor end unit. We use the unit ourselves for skiing, hiking, four-wheeling in the summer and ‘Grandma and Me’ trips.
