I would recommend driving to mountain village, parking in the free parking and riding the gondola to the half way point and exploring! The ride is beautiful. Grab lunch at Blake and Madison's favorite, smugglers brewery!
The red mountain pass is full of color this time of the year! Remember, the red mountain pass is not for the faint of heart. If you make it to Silverton, stop for pot pie at Handlebars!
Go on a scenic Jeep tour of Last Dollar Road or Owl Creek Pass!
A must see, intermediate hike in Ouray! Sweeping mountain views, waterfalls and dog friendly. There are many different entrance and exit points so you can make your hike as long or as short as you would like!
