Beautiful Aspens at their peak in the San Juan Mountains near Ouray, Colorado
Some call the mountain town of Ouray the Switzerland of America, as it's situated in a river valley at nearly 8,000 feet, surrounded by the snow-capped San Juan Mountains. Established in the late 1870s during gold and silver strikes, Ouray survived those boom-and-bust days because it's such a wonderful place to relax. Natural hot springs feed the Ouray Town Pool, where both locals and visitors come to soak in the therapeutic waters. It's said that Chief Ouray, the Ute Indian after whom the town is named, visited the pool often and held ceremonies in the local vapor cave. Surrounded by deciduous trees such as quaking aspen and evergreens scrub oaks, the town also becomes a spectacularly colored canvas each autumn, drawing visitors who want a closer look at the brilliant foliage.
