Things To Do
Ouray Hot Springs
The Ouray Hot Springs Pool geothermal water is fed by an underground aquifer. Occasionally flow amounts change and may cause variations in temperature and pool levels.
Ouray Brewery
The finest roof-top dining in the Rockies.
Ouray Via Ferrata
The “Original Downstream” Ouray Via Ferrata route begins off the Ice Park Loop trail at the South end of the New Funteer access trail and crosses the Uncompahgre River, continuing North and ending just past the “Upper Bridge”. The route is varied with sections of narrow rock ledge, rungs across blank rock sections, climbing and descending sections, and cable traverses – with the entire route protected by continuous safety cable.
Rat Trails
The Ridgway Area Trails (RAT) is a network of singletrack trails that are maintained and managed by the RAT crew – a group of dedicated volunteer mountain bikers and beer enthusiasts. The RAT chapter has built a comprehensive trail system with over 40 miles of trails between the RAT Trails and the Dennis Weaver Trail systems.
San Juan Scenic Jeep Tours
Experience the 1880s and the world of prospectors, adventurers, and mountaineers with your own ride on those high cliff-hanging stage and wagon roads! You can see firsthand the old mining ghost towns above Ouray, Silverton, Telluride, and Lake City with the guides of Colorado's first and original Jeep Tour company. Established in 1946, this granddaddy of high-mountain tour companies (featured twice in National Geographic, CBS Colorado Getaways, Jeep Journal, Washington Post, L.A. Times, et al) is the friendliest tour place in town!
