Town of Ouray: Breath taking scenery, and nestled in a box canyon below 11,000 ft peaks, this 1870’s community has a population of 918 active year round residents. With gold and silver mining roots, the town is located south of Ridgway and north of Silverton on the Million Dollar Highway and the Uncompaghre River. 210 degree+ geothermals below the town have supplied the Ouray Hot Springs for over 100 years. Dubbed “The Switzerland of America”. Ouray’s winter boasts of the largest ice climbing park in North America, free to climbers. The town’s population can grow to 2500 in the summer, as both visitors and summer residents come to enjoy the mountain life.
