Year-Round Adventure in the San Juan Mountains
Ouray sits in a dramatic box canyon surrounded by 14,000-foot peaks, earning its nickname 'The Switzerland of America.' Every season brings a distinct lineup of activities, from summer wildflower hikes and 4x4 backcountry routes to winter ice climbing and snowshoeing.
Whether you're chasing adrenaline or a quiet afternoon by a mountain stream, Ouray delivers. The compact downtown means you can walk to gear shops, hot springs, and trailheads from your condo door.
The Best Base Camp in Ouray
The Lumberyard Condos sits at 55 4th Avenue — 9 blocks from the Ouray Hot Springs and the trailheads that launch into the Uncompahgre Wilderness. Five fully equipped units sleep up to 10 guests combined, making it ideal for groups, families, and couples.
Dogs are welcome at The Lumberyard, so you never have to leave your trail companion behind. Skip the OTA fees and book directly at ouraycondos.com for the best available rate.
Plan Your Ouray Itinerary
A long weekend gives you enough time to sample jeeping, hot springs, and at least one hike to a waterfall. A week lets you go deeper — multi-day backcountry routes, ghost town explorations, and a leisurely drive along the Million Dollar Highway.
Check Ouray County road conditions before heading out on any unpaved route, especially early or late in the season when snow lingers at elevation.
