Do you like to go hiking? If you have yet to take on the Ouray Perimeter Trail, you’re missing out on an incredible hiking experience found in the majestic San Juan Mountains. As a matter of fact, trail registers have mentioned some awe-inspiring numbers: more than 25,000 people took on the trail back in 2017, and these numbers appear to represent a tiny fraction of the actual number of people that have visited Ouray Perimeter Trail.
Considering it’s been around for several years, Ouray Perimeter Trail isn’t new to the area, which may make you wonder what it is that has made it so appealing to thousands of people. For one, there is a singularity to the trail that makes it one of those experiences you won’t soon forget. Hikers will cross several rivers and streams and the trail will also take them through some beautiful waterfalls. Hikers that like to brush up on their history and geology will also find some interesting Precambrian rock that’s been around for centuries. And of course, there is the breathtaking landscape and all of the natural scenery to behold and admire.
If you’re a tourist, you can get started with the Ouray Perimeter Trail right at the Ouray Visitor Center, where it conveniently begins. It also has several road intersections which will allow you to adjust your trail/hiking experience based on your time.
