I've not visited Ouray since
Mark &
Bobbie have lived there but I did enjoy a visit back in July, 2007. I was returning from a Grand Canyon river trip with friends and after we all split up, I thought I would drive over to see Mesa Verde and the area. I am glad I did because it was a wonderful trip.
While using Durango as a home base for my camper and me, I headed out in different directions each day. One day, I took a day trip to Lovely Ouray. The drive was spectacular and scenic at every turn.
I first took a hike, enjoyed the view from the many turnouts and roadside parks.

Around lunchtime, I took a walk through town and enjoyed a good meal at one of the restaurants.
During this time, I was not aware of the many other hiking opportunities in the area but since reading
Mark's blog I have learned a lot about the hiking and camping spots in the area and I hope to return to a lot of both.
One thing I didn't know about was the hot springs and I think that would be fun to visit and enjoy.

Great pictures! I've never been to Ouray but it looks like something for my list!
We hope you do make it back to Lovely Ouray, and soon. We'll be around, unless it's winter.
Thanks,
mark and bobbie
Looks like a great hike. Hope you catch up with Mark and Bobbie next time.
I have never been there except through your and Mark's blog posts. But it is very high on my bucket list. Thanks for the great pics.
Great photos. I'll be out there in early September. Looking forward to seeing it for myself.
I've been to Ouray, but where is that hike? I want to do that.
