Ouray, Colorado

The small town of Ouray (population 900) is surrounding on all sides by mountains. This village nestled in the narrow valley is one of Lloyd's favorite places. The mountains surrounding town are covered with world class off road trails. We spent our day in town. Some of the Victorian building reminded us of home in Lunenburg, NS.

The blud sky seemed to explode with clouds.

The recently renovated Hotel Beaumont houses a lovely bistro and bookstore.

Before dinner we hiked to Cascade Falls.

The landscape on the drive to Ouray is a mix of mountains and meadows.

If you are ever traveling in southwest Colorado do not miss Ouray. -L
