While we planned this to be a more relaxing trip, we did want to take advantage of some of the nearby hiking locations. Box Canyon Falls was just down the street from our hotel, so we headed there, first.

View of the town from the trail heading from the falls towards the Ouray Ice Park.
Ouray is known for having one of the best ice parks in the world, and they just opened a few days prior to our arrival. We headed up the street to the bridge overlooking one of the more intense climbing areas.

Now, time to relax! Our hotel had three of its own hot springs. We hit the outdoor one first.
...and then the indoor spring.
For dinner, we headed to another brewery, the Ouray Brewing Company.
The Ouray Brewing Company might have one of the neatest bars - you can see here the thick cables used for the swings at the bar!
