Ouray, referred to as “The Switzerland of America,” offers spectacular scenery, hiking and shopping within a wonderful historic downtown area surrounded by natural wonders. Included are passes to one of the many hot springs pools, perhaps the best in Colorado!

No matter what, Ouray promises to provide you true Colorado-style relaxation.

And since we pick you up and drop you back off at your hotel, you will have ease of mind knowing that can spend all of your energy living in the moment rather than worrying about accommodations.
Your full-day of adventure and relaxation begins at scenic Red Mountain Pass. This pass is named for the surrounding mountains, which have a high content of iron oxide, and offers uncompromising views of the surrounding area including of the valley floor, which is often 1,000 feet below the road.
After the scenic viewing pleasures of the Ouray Canyon, we will find ourselves arriving in Ridgway, Colorado, where your rafting guides will be waiting to gear you up for a real adventure: rafting the Lower Uncompahgre. This raft line is definitely an experience to remember! This beautiful section of guided class II and III whitewater offers fun, splashy rapids and excellent bird watching. It is even possible to see a deer or an elk if one looks closely.
After drying off and swapping stories, we will head back to Ouray for some more relaxation. As the afternoon and evening approaches Ouray begins to offer even more spectacular and dramatic imagery. Enjoy the hiking and shopping and historic downtown area that is surrounded by natural wonders. Our recommendation is the Ouray Hot Springs Pool with full-access passes included with your tour; however, combining this soak with other opportunities in Ouray is a fantastic idea! A soak-n-hike can lead you to beautiful waterfalls while a soak-n-shop provides chance to see galleries, jewelry and unique gifts. As we return to your hotel there will be one final chance to swap stories, where hopefully you have learned something new during your Tour of Ouray Colorado and where you will agree that this experience is one you will never forget!
