LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
I’LL NEVER FORGET DRIVING SOUTH ON US HIGHWAY 550 INTO THE OURAY VALLEY. As I traveled closer, my excitement grew. I was dazed by the beauty.
Thirty years later, I’ve grown close to the Ouray region. I’m privileged to have this opportunity to share just some of the many stories and remarkable details of this valley and its people.
In Explore Ouray we’ll reveal stories of community, like how one young man with a vison and an immense amount help from friends constructed what would become one of the most renowned adventures in America. We’ll get a glimpse into a rich mining history and how the very roads cut in search of precious metals created a legendary off -roading kingdom.
We’ll learn about the power of avalanches and how they shaped the natural surroundings, and fostered a growing recreational industry. We’ll meet the ice farmers who maintain the one- of-a kind Ouray Ice Park, and hear form many locals and why they choose Ouray to call home.
We’ll follow dinosaur tracks, go mountain and gravel biking, meet artists and spend a day in the life of a plow driver. We’ll experience incredible hikes, learn about hot springs, visit old Hollywood sets and ski some of the best backcountry skiing on the planet.
It’s all in there and more, and I hope to shed some new light to visitors and locals alike on what makes this on of the most amazing places in the world.
See you in the mountains,
