Yep, we're already dreaming of winter in Ouray.

Trade the driving for gliding in winter. The best views don't always require going to a ski resort. 🎿❄️

Ironton is a high-elevation cross-country skiing destination at 9,800 feet. The Ouray County Nordic Council grooms about four miles of easy Nordic trails, typically beginning in November once there’s enough snow. Miles of ungroomed trails offer more difficult terrain and expansive mountain views. You can rent gear in town at Ouray Mountain Sports for an afternoon on the snow.

Fall is one of the best times to spot moose in Colorado, especially around marshy areas and wetlands where they like to forage. 🫎

Wildlife encounters come with a little responsibility. Moose are powerful wild animals, and during fall breeding season, bulls can become more territorial and aggressive. They can also move surprisingly fast: up to 35 mph!

If you spot a moose, give it at least 25 meters of space and use binoculars or your camera’s zoom to get a better view without inching closer yourself.

Enjoy the colors, enjoy the wildlife, and remember: the best wildlife viewing is from a respectful distance.
