Ouray

The tiny town of Ouray enjoys a warm summer's night in the San Juan Mountains of colorado. This wonderful town is often referred to as the Switzerland of America due to it idyllic setting, nestled in a bowl surrounded by the giant mountains of the San Juan. From here many climbs can be staged, including ascents of Mount Sneffels, Uncompahgre Peak, Wetterhorn and many others.
