Imogene Weekend: Ouray

Over the weekend of Imogene, we stayed in the small mountain town of Ouray where the race started. This is the most beautiful area I've yet to visit in Colorado. The mountains look, well, as if they're actually part of the Swiss Alps (see picture below), and the town has a kind of charm that I feel one might find in a European city. I'm going to bombard you with photos of the area -- keep in mind they are all taken surrounding Ouray which has one main road passing through all of maybe three miles. We absolutely love what Ouray has to offer. There's no doubt we'll be back.


The Ouray Chalet Inn, just steps from the start line for Imogene Pass Run. Great find!


The view from our "lodge".





Amazing views from within the city.
