Hiking – Stillwell Tunnel - Liberty Bell Mine

This is a doggie hike. Well behaved, leashed dogs are welcome to join me and my friendly golden retriever, Augie, on this hike to the Stillwell Tunnel, which supplies water to the Telluride storage tank. The initial climb up the Jud Wiebe Trail is consistently up-hill, levels out through Liberty Bell Flats and then a final climb to the Tunnel.
