Ouray KOA Ouray, Colorado
Another easy drive this morning.
Our first stop was Montrose. We needed some supplies and we needed WiFi/cell service so that we could make a plan. The area around Ouray has a lot of Jeep trails and lots of other things to see and do. We decided to find a private campground with hookups and WiFi and make that our home base for the next several days. The ride from Montrose to Ouray was really pretty.
Just as we finished setting up, a light rain began. It rained gently for the rest of the afternoon. Tim watched NASCAR and I did some cleaning. When the sun came out, I went to walk around the campground and I took some pictures.
Later this afternoon, we drove the Jeep into the town of Ouray. The town of Ouray is known as the “Switzerland of America.”
We went to see the Box Canon Falls. A little chipmunk to greet us.
We walked up the easy path to see the falls.
Next we took the path to the high bridge. The views of the town snuggled in between the imposing San Juan Mountains was very cozy!
The path to the high bridge looked like this…
When we got back, it was time to prepare dinner.
