Hiking in the Rocky Mountains of #Colorado is always a great outdoor experience. While hammock camping near Ouray, Colorado I decided to hike to #Upper Cascade Falls and Chief Ouray mine east of Ouray. Upper Cascade Falls cannot be seen from Ouray, but the building at Chief Ouray mine can be seen high above Lower Cascade Falls. Both the lower and upper falls are very picturesque waterfalls.
The Upper Cascade Falls trail starts in the Amphitheater Campground in Ouray, Colorado. The Upper Cascade Falls trailhead starts at an elevation 7,900 and the elevation gain to the mine is 1,560 with a maximum elevation on the trail of 10,000. Roundtrip to the mine and back is close to 5 miles. The trail is well marked and is considered moderate – strenuous.
Camping and hiking in the San Juan Mountains is great. Mt. Sneffels is to the west and is also a great hike. The Million Dollar Highway, US 550, runs through Ouray and is a great road for motorcycle riding. Taking It Outside

Ouray, Colorado. Cascade Falls. Perimeter Trail. Wiesbaden Hot Springs.
Tucked up in the beautiful San Juan Mountain Range in Western Colorado is the adorable town of Ouray, Colorado. Founded as a mining town, there is still a silver mine up the mountain, this quaint old western town is well known for it's hot springs and Alp like views. The Switzerland of America.
There is plenty to keep you busy if you want to explore the nearby mountains. The perimeter trail is a five mile hike that gives you a birds eye view of the town below. Telluride is on the other side of the mountain for winter skiing.
If relaxing and soaking up the views is your thing then Ouray is for you. With three hot springs in town to choose from you can slip into large swimming pools, secluded hot tubs, or into the lithium vapor caves. All will leave you feeling like you have been on sabbatical from real life.
With restaurants and shops downtown you could spend your day taking in the history with well preserved buildings accompanied by old Victorian neighborhoods. Surrounded by soaring mountain tops Ouray is a must visit on your trip through western Colorado.

Easy Hike to a Spectacular Waterfall - Ouray Colorado
So easy, a fat man can do it!
This is one of the easier hikes in and around Ouray and probably one of the most rewarding. Just a short 1/4 mile hike from the parking lot, the Lower Cascade falls trail offers stunning views for very little effort.
I highly recommend this hike if you are ever in Ouray Colorado. 10/10.

Decided to take the Jeep to the famous Jeep towns of Ouray and Silverton Colorado along the famous 550 Hwy a.k.a. The Million Dollar Highway. Also stopped by the cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde, Colorado.
As Vegas residence this was a great trip to beat the summer desert heat. A sweater is recommended even in the summer out in the rockies.
Awesome places for wheeling, hiking, hunting, and achieving a Rocky Mountain High.
