This lovely river walk and ritual will be reminiscent of the traditional flower and prayer offerings to Ma Ganga, the great river Goddess of the Ganges in India. It is said that all rivers are Ma Ganga and our beautiful San Miguel River, which runs through Telluride, is no different. All rivers are sacred and can be accessed for healing, carrying prayers, and letting go.

The San Miguel River Trail is an easy, flat trail. Melanie will guide the way and pause at several strategic places (including a waterfall) to tell the stories of the River Goddesses, chant, pray, and offer flower petals as sacred ritual.

Difficulty: Easy
Distance: 1.5 miles
Elevation Gain: very little
Time: Approx.1.5-2 hours - Keep in mind that this hike starts and ends in the Town of Telluride, which requires a 15-minute gondola ride back to the Town of Mountain Village. This hike will not end in time to make it to a 4 pm class.
Disclaimer: Hiking at 9,000 ft requires a base level of cardiovascular fitness and is not for the "faint of heart." Be sure to hydrate appropriately and note the difficulty of the hike for the best and safest experience.
