Ouray, Colorado is known by at least 2 monikers. One is The Switzerland of America and the other is The Jeep Capital of the World.
Ouray has an elevation of 7,792 feet, but is surrounded by mountain peaks that reach 1300-1400 feet. The population is only 800 and two-thirds of the original Victorian homes are still occupied & restored. The average summer temperature is 70-80 degrees. So, with it's beautiful scenery, hot springs swimming pool, rich mining history & accessibility to a plethora of four-wheeling trails, it is a vacationer's paradise!
