Durable Outdoor Interpretive Signs for Telluride Ski and Golf

Tue, 2011-08-16

Ski Resorts, National Forests and National Parks use interpretive signs to provide stories
for their visitors about natural, cultural, and historic features throughout their parks and properties. These colorful and carefully worded signs communicate specific messages that increase visitor enjoyment through appreciation and understanding.

Telluride Ski & Golf believes in “educational recreation”- they use signs like the one
you see here to help enrich their visitors stay and stimulate their brain and their senses:

As described by the United States Forest Service (USFS), an interpretive sign:

  • Describes features and stories of the natural, cultural, and historic environments that surround us.
  • Helps guide or modify visitor behavior to reduce impacts to resources or facilities.
  • Uses a combination of well-written text and professional graphics to convey a specific message.
  • Offers a wealth of information to visitors throughout the year and for decades to come.

Telluride teamed up with the USFS and Stonehouse Signs to create these durable, digitally printed signs for selfguiding trails & wayside exhibits at points of interest (including viewing & resource management areas).
