Things To Do
Cascade Falls Park
Cascade Falls is located almost in town, so it is a great sight to see if you are short on time, or prefer a short walk over a hike.
Box Canyon Park/Box Canyon Falls
Get a glimpse of the canyon that forms one of the world's most famous ice climbing parks. The park is on CR361 - off Highway 550 just south of Ouray.
Ouray Hot Springs Pool and Fitness Center
Follow the filming of True Grit
We recommend watching the original 1969 western "True Grit" before your trip. It was filmed in and around Ridgway, CO and you may recognize landmarks from the film during your trip. Pay attention to the shootout scene at the end - you will be standing in this exact spot as we say our vows!
Perimeter Trail
A nice day hike that goes around the city of Ouray and provides great views of the town.
San Juan Scenic Jeep Tours
Courthouse Mountain HIke
This hike will take you to the top of Courthouse Mountain in the Cimarron Range East of Ridgway. It takes the same road that leads to the ceremony spot, so it could be a great way to get acquainted with the area prior to the wedding. This hike is steep and is for the more ambitious hiker, however a drive up to this beautiful area would suit anyone!
Colorado Boy Pub & Brewery
The OG Colorado Boy Brewery, and one of our favorites! Spend some time in Ridgway spotting buildings from scenes of the 1969 film True Grit, then go order an Irish Red at Co Boy! Don't forget to look north across the street from the brewery to see the art studio where the Grammy awards are made!
Telluride
Take a scenic drive to Telluride to see the fall colors and enjoy this historic mountain town - consider extending your trip to spend time here. Take a photo stop at Dallas Divide, one of the most photographed spots during the fall season. If you have a high clearance 4WD vehicle, you have the option of taking the beautiful and rugged back road to Telluride via Last Dollar Road.
Bridal Veil Falls, Telluride
At 4 miles round trip, this hike is a great way to spend part of your day, as you will be rewarded with the stunning view and refreshing mist of Bridal Veil Falls. If you have a high clearance 4WD 4X4 vehicle, driving is also an option.
