You're close, but Lake County (Leadville - KLXV) is generally considered to be the nation's highest , although with a slightly shorter runway. (9927'MSL, 6400' x 75' as opposed to 9078', 6870' x 100').
Both have instrument approaches, Leadville has an RNAV departure which is most interesting.
Telluride has an MDA of approx. 2500' AGL. The mountains to the west are up to 5,000' above field elevation.
For the uninitiated, those high elevations are more of a problem in the summer than in the winter (density altitude). On a hot day, some planes just won't get in the air there.

Ya caught me with my pants down, blt. I knew it was one of the highest, but I should've kept my superlatives to myself. Thanks for keeping me honest.
