Just North of Ridgway Colorado on HWY 550, you'll pass some of the best Mountain Bike Trails in the Montrose/Ridgway/Ouray area. Unless you know what you're looking for, you could pass right by. Still, once you understand the entrance locations, you'll find a world of beautiful scenery, challenging ascents, and flowly goodness.
These trails have a number of levels of difficulty. When taking into account the steeper terrain, predominantly narrow single track, exposed rock, off camber sections, and some trails with a good bit of exposure, I can't say that these trails are your average green trails. I'm pretty sure that there are a few trails marked green, but assume these are on the harder side of green if you are riding with someone new to the sport.
Still, these trails are addictive. Everytime I go, I run off the trail, wash out my front tire, run into pinyon trees, and exhaust myself till I'm sick. Never the less, I never leave without saying, I can't wait to get back!
So, if you're interested in knowing a little of what these trails are all about, this (and other videos to come) will give you some details about what you'll find.

Went on a little adventure to the beautiful town of Ouray. Which is what they say is the Switzerland of America. Wish I would have remembered to video the town, and everything else we did but I did fail a bit. Hope you enjoy my short vid!

VALLEY VIEW HOT SPRINGS The Facilities and campground
Valley View Hot Springs in Moffat Colorado ran by Orient Land Trust is a clothing optional nature preserve that protects six hot springs and the Orient Mine and Ghost towns. A half million bats now live in the Orient Mine
Dakota Hot Springs
The Dakota Hot Springs inhabits a former oil well. The mining operation was abandoned in 1924 when Conoco found water and not oil at a depth of 2000 feet.
There is one 70-foot long pool for soaking. The depth is about 3-5 feet. An artesian hot-water well feeds the pool at an average of 95-98 degrees F. A smaller, 6-foot round, soaking tub is kept hotter at about 108 degrees F. With people traveling from all over Colorado, don’t be surprised if you see a few walking around nude.
The natural flow of the artesian well source circulates new water into the pool.The mineral water contains therapeutic salts, soda, and calcium. There are only trace amounts of sulfur and iron, so there is no rotten-egg smell.
Bring food and enjoy it under the sun deck. There are BBQ grills available for guest use. The closest town with lodging is Penrose and Canon City is close by. There are campsites at Dakota Hot Springs. RVs and tents are welcome, but there are no hook-ups.
Ep. 43 Tanith Martinez | Born to Fly
Tanith Martinez grew up at the Orvis Hot Springs between Ridgway and Ouray, Colorado. On a trip to Alaska, she watched a pilot land a bushplane nearby and decided that's what she wanted to do. After high school, she immediately started working towards getting her pilot's license at Northwest Colorado Community College. By the time she was finishing her undergraduate education at Metro State College of Denver, she was already teaching other aspiring pilots how to fly.
After teaching for several years up and down the front range, Tanith and her family made the move to where they really wanted to be: Gunnison. Tanith now has her own plane and continues to teach others how to fly and get their pilot's license. She also offers sightseeing tours, hunting reconnaissance flights, and even real estate tours for larger ranch properties.

Ouray, Colorado. Cascade Falls. Perimeter Trail. Wiesbaden Hot Springs.
Tucked up in the beautiful San Juan Mountain Range in Western Colorado is the adorable town of Ouray, Colorado. Founded as a mining town, there is still a silver mine up the mountain, this quaint old western town is well known for it's hot springs and Alp like views. The Switzerland of America.
There is plenty to keep you busy if you want to explore the nearby mountains. The perimeter trail is a five mile hike that gives you a birds eye view of the town below. Telluride is on the other side of the mountain for winter skiing.
If relaxing and soaking up the views is your thing then Ouray is for you. With three hot springs in town to choose from you can slip into large swimming pools, secluded hot tubs, or into the lithium vapor caves. All will leave you feeling like you have been on sabbatical from real life.
With restaurants and shops downtown you could spend your day taking in the history with well preserved buildings accompanied by old Victorian neighborhoods. Surrounded by soaring mountain tops Ouray is a must visit on your trip through western Colorado.
