In the heart of downtown Telluride, the Gray Head at Telluride Parking Lot is another one of the fabulous amenities that Gray Head offers to its property owners.

LocationHomesites span 35 or more acres each. Nestled at the base of Mount Sneffels Wilderness Area, they offer breathtaking views of 14,000-foot peaks across the canyon in the Wilson Range. Because they are sited on southern-facing slopes, the light lingers, bathing Gray Head in warm Colorado sunshine more than 300 days of the year. World-class skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, horseback-riding and mountain biking are steps away. And with the towns of Telluride and Mountain Village less than 15 minutes away, Gray Head offers easy access to some of the best alpine skiing and fly-fishing in America.  Recreation and Inspiration Meet at Gray Head at Telluride by Gayle Greene Imagine the power of a place where recreation and inspiration meet. With this in mind, Gray Head at Telluride was created. Located just 8 miles away from downtown Telluride and the Telluride Ski Area, these 35-plus-acre mountain properties offer outdoor recreation, total relaxation and alpine privacy without sacrificing convenience and accessibility. "The 885 acres of Gray Head feel like part playground, part cathedral," says Catsman. Within property lines, 8 miles of private trails traverse diverse bioregions-alpine, riparian and mountain desert. All homesites have access to trails for hiking in the summer or for snowshoing and cross-country skiing in winter. Rest for awhile in the library of the restored timber and stone warming hut. Once owned by a member of the Von Trapp family, the cabin features hand-hewn hardwood beams and a wood-burning fireplace, making it a perfect destination for a cozy family picnic indoors. On your way home, pass by the Willow Creek falls, a 35-foot waterfall on the Willow Creek Trail. Gaze up at the 200-foot rock spires near Summit Creek, or just take in the jaw dropping views to the south. Spread across the horizon are the strong silhouettes of the Telluride Ski area, Ames Wall, Ophir Needles, Pilot Knob, Mount Wilson, Lizard Head and numerous others. 
If you're up for a longer excursion, connect to public trails in the Uncompaghre National Forest and the Sneffels Wilderness Area. Over three-quarters of Gray Head's perimeter borders on these lands, ensuring that the surrounding environment will stay pristine forever.
>> View the Trail Map The homesites within Gray Head are all located on sun-soaked benches. "Gray Head's natural rhythm of south-facing benches maximizes the amount of sunshine and allows the sites to be uniquely separated from each other visually," says project planner Jim Burleigh. "Every home site faces south and has tremendous views of the Wilsons, and from every parcel, it feels as if you are the only one on the mesa." To the west, views include Lone Cone and Dolores Peak. To the north, take in Gray Head and Hawn. To the east, Ingram Peak, Ingram Falls and Ajax Peak cradle the sunrise. View lines vary, but all lots boast 360-degrees of breathtaking peaks and landmarks. In addition to the splendor and privacy of Gray Head, homeowners can take advantage of their close proximity to the towns of Telluride and Mountain Village. World-class skiing, dining, shopping and entertainment are a mere 8 miles away. To make town travel even easier, Gray Head home-owners have access to a private parking lot in the heart of Telluride. Privacy, scenery, recreation and convenience-it's all Gray Head at Telluride. This is why you come to the mountains. 
Flora and FaunaWhen the glistening snows of winter melt away, the forest floors are covered with colorful wildflowers. Open fields bloom with Indian paintbrush, delicate columbine, golden mule's ears, and purple lupine. This incredible landscape sustains surprisingly diverse wildlife. Deer and elk herds come here to feed and rest. Hawks and eagles circle the skies. For these animals, Gray Head is more than a sanctuary, it is home. It can be your home, too!
