When thinking of the elevation of Telluride, which number do you think of?

I've heard 8,750 and 8,745 as the official elevation - which one do you think it is? If you think it's different than those please reply with your answer.

Thanks! Cheers

See you all soon.  Wave

You know... When thinking about the altitude, we should probably consider our attitude... Are you really high? Yes? This is really great for those of us in a pee testing regime, better wait for 2 weeks after TBF for that random test. If you want to respond the original question with no; Keep in mind that you're gonna be really high no matter what you do..................

I always think 8750 only because I really liked the 8750 reggae band from years ago. Whatever happened to them?

I'm with Swander. I go with 8745 because of John Cowan's live album.

I guess I'm a realist cause the sign coming into Telluride says 8750 feet. Thumbs Up

To me it all depends on if I'm laying down (8745 ft) or standing up (8751 ft 2 inches).

Whatever makes the best story - that's what I always say... It could be as high as 12,000 feet if there's a reason for the extra 2K...
