Ouray, Colorado - aka the Switzerland of America— is one of the most special places in Colorado. Yesterday the bf, dog and I drove up and hiked around this beautiful, quaint little mountain town. Almost the entire town is classified as a historic district, and there are no ski resorts here, so it’s been really well-preserved, and kind of feels like it’s in the 1800s! Stunning views of mountain peaks. Can’t wait until the hot springs open again. It’s so close to where I grew up and such a hidden gem!
Spots to go:
Perimeter Trail - a gorgeous hike with stunning mountain views around the outside of the town
Orvis Hot Springs- don’t let the clothing optional rule scare you away, especially if you go at night! I grew up going to the other hot springs in Ouray, and Orvis blows it away! So many pools with different temperatures from natural springs. You can even stay overnight here. It’s a must!
Bear Creek Trail - an incredible cliffside hike with a waterfall at the end!
