The town's most famous attraction is the Ouray Hot Springs Pool, where visitors can soak in the therapeutic, mineral-rich waters with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. The hot springs are open year-round, providing a soothing escape no matter the season.
Adventure seekers will find a paradise in Ouray, with its endless opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, and off-roading. The town serves as a gateway to the San Juan Skyway, a scenic byway that offers some of the most breathtaking drives in the country. In the winter, Ouray transforms into an ice-climbing mecca, with the Ouray Ice Park offering world-class ice climbing within walking distance from downtown.
For those interested in history, Ouray does not disappoint. The town's rich mining heritage is on display at the Ouray County Museum, housed in the former St. Joseph's Miners' Hospital.
