Ouray, Colorado

View of the Uncompahgre River from the footbridge at our back porch.  We stayed at Hot Springs Inn; a really great place that we would go back to in a second.

Looking downstream from the footbridge:

On our way into town to get some food.  Unless we were leaving town, there was no reason to get in the car.  The town, pool, and hiking trails were all right at our back door.  Awesome.

Ouray is an old mining town and evidently has some of the best-preserved Victorian structures in southern Colorado.  It is referred to as "America's Little Switzerland" and with all the rugged peaks everywhere you turn, it's easy to see why.
