O uray d ish e s o ut d e l i c io u s c uis in e Though Ouray is a quiet mountain village, it captures everything special about Colorado in the small box canyon. Though the settlement began as a bustling mining camp in the late 1800s, today it is a blooming outdoor playground and paradise. Residents and visitors love to gather at the local watering holes to relax and exchange adventure stories over a pint of beer and consume more calories than they burned that day enjoying Ouray.
