Ouray, Colorado is A Year Around Playground

Ouray, Colorado is A year around playground. Ouray, Colorado is known as the Switzerland of American. There's no guessing why. The town is surrounded by tall rugged peaks reaching over 12,000 and 13,000 feet.

This area is host to world class jeeping, hiking, climbing and biking in the summer. Ouray, Colorado is a gem on the Western Slope. This small mountain town got its start in the mining era in the late 1800s. Tourism keeps it going today. Somehow this town has managed to perserve it's history and you can see this in the buildings. Most of them are restored Victorian style structures. At this time of the year, the town is getting ready for it's winter time activities like cross country skiing, snowmobiling and of course ice climbing. Be sure to take some time to enjoy the Ouray Brewery and Obrien's Pub, and to relax in the hot springs pool. Obrien's has some really great tasting food including an Asian Tuna Salad, Shepard's Pie and a pilled high Turkey Reuben. We enjoyed the Box Canyon Brown Ale at the Ouray Brewery.

This last picture was taken from one of the trails by the Box Canyon Falls. It's looks down on Ouray. The falls is also a must see, but it's only open for one more week this year, and then won't be open again until next summer.
