Ouray's Spring Season Is Underrated
March and April in Ouray offer something rare: the ice park's final weeks of climbing, winter's silence still in the high country, and the first hints of spring wildflowers in the canyon. The crowds haven't arrived yet, and the town feels like a local secret.
The Perimeter Trail opens early and provides stunning views of snow-capped peaks contrasted against the first green of the canyon floor. The light in spring is exceptional.
The Right Base for the Whole Group
The Lumberyard Condos accommodate up to 10 guests, making them perfect for a friend group or family spring break trip. Full kitchens handle the group meal logistics without requiring a restaurant reservation every night.
Rated 4.94 stars on Airbnb for cleanliness and comfort. Book direct at ouraycondos.com — spring break rates are often more accessible than peak summer.
Spring Break Ouray Itinerary
Days one and two: ice climbing at the Ouray Ice Park — lessons available for beginners. Day three: hike the Perimeter Trail and explore Box Canyon Falls as it surges with spring snowmelt.
Hot springs every evening. Ouray's breweries and restaurants for dinners. A scenic drive down the Million Dollar Highway toward Silverton on the final morning. Spring break doesn't get better than this.
