Keystone Gorge Loop is a short, photogenic mountain canyon outside Telluride featuring a tumbling alpine creek, mossy boulders, mixed conifer and aspen stands, and steep rock walls. Ideal for intimate landscape and waterscape shots — spring brings peak runoff and waterfalls, autumn delivers golden aspens, and winter sculpts snow/ice textures. Trailhead is reachable by car from Telluride (high-elevation gravel sections possible); small parking area at the trailhead fills early on weekends. No fee
