Review:

Ouray is known for offering a wealth of outdoor recreational opportunities to nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. One of the town’s most popular outdoor activities is hiking the 6-mile Ouray Perimeter Trail .

Visitors are invited to pull on their hiking boots, pack their refreshments and sunscreen and set off on a scenic 4– 6 hour loop hike which will follow the perimeter of the town, gaining some 1600 feet in elevation along the way. This remarkable urban hiking trail surprisingly offers wonderful scenery including four waterfalls and five bridges. The trailhead is located close to the Ouray Visitor’s Center and there is parking behind the center.

Ouray Perimeter Trail, 1230 Main Street, Ouray, VT 81427
