Sitting comfortably in the majestic San Juan Mountains, Ouray continues to draw the attention of people seeking to experience an exciting hike. With the multitude of trails all offering beautiful vistas of the scenery and a heart-healthy walk, how is a Ouray visitor supposed to figure out which trail is the best among them? Should you need a suggestion, allow us to present to you the magic that awaits in Perimeter Trail.
Perimeter Trail encompasses six-and-a-half miles of dazzling views that will make for plenty of captivating and memorable shots worth sharing with friends and family on social media. We should note, however, that since it is several miles long it is a trail best suited for hikers that have already gotten their feet wet with hiking in the past. For those willing to experience it, they will be rewarded with cascading waterfalls, intriguing caves that were once frequented by miners in search of fortune, and the perennial favorite Ouray Ice Park. One thing you’re also going to encounter is sheer drops, so it may be wise to leave the kids—or anyone with a fear of heights—in the comfort of your room. Hikers can explore Perimeter Trail in its entirety or they can access it at various points. Pets are welcome to join as long as they are leashed.
