Welcome to Ouray

Welcome to the Little Switzerland of America. Ouray is a quaint mountain town nestled in the heart of the San Juan Rockies. With its rich history as a mining outpost, Ouray is one of Colorado’s golden gems. You’re about to experience what Colorado is all about– magnificent terrain, fresh mountain air and friendly people. What’s more you are staying in a cabin built in the late 1800’s when Chief Ouray himself was alive.
The mountains and canyons surrounding Ouray are filled with some of the West’s most unforgettable scenery. Heritage activities abound along the back roads and Scenic Byways: you can see vistas where old Hollywood westerns were filmed and explore high country ghost towns that were once booming mining cities. In our scenic mountains, four-wheel-drive adventures are the height of Ouray’s driving experiences.
Whether you want to discover the peaks and valleys of the San Juan Mountains by hiking or biking, wander through ancient Native American ruins, visit national parks, or ride on a historic steam train, Ouray is a perfect point of departure for daily adventures. You are only steps away from the center of town and across the street from the famous Ouray Hot Springs. We’re so glad you are here! 5

Chief Ouray 20
Chief Ouray was the leader of the Tabeguache (Uncompahgre ) band of the Ute tribe in western Colorado in the 19th century. Ouray was born near Taos, New Mexico in about 1833.
When he was about 18 Ouray traveled into Colorado, and became a member of the Tabeguache Ute band, where his father, despite his Apache heritage, had become the leader. In 1859, he married a Tabeguache Ute maiden by the name of Chipeta, who was actually a Kiowa Apache who had been adopted by the Ute as a child. In October 1863, Ouray negotiated a treaty in which the Tabeguache Ute were assigned a reservation, but, unfortunately for the Ute, the vast majority of their lands east of the Continental United States, ended up in government hands. In 1868, he traveled to Washington, D.C. to represent his people and was appointed “head chief of the Ute� by the government. A new treaty created reservation lands in Colorado for the Tabeguache, Moache, Capote, Wiminuche, Yampa, Grand River, and Uinta, but again, more land was relinquished.
In the summer of 1880, Ouray and his wife, Chipeta, journeyed to the Southern Ute agency at Ignacio with the intent to negotiate once again with the white man. Though Ouray completed the journey, he was a sick man by the time he arrived. He died of Brights Disease on August 24, 1880.
