We had a great walk to Cascade Falls, but something happened before I even left the parking lot area. Look, over there! Thank goodness for being on this side of that deep cement dyke and not the forest side.

Ouray, Colorado, sits just inside the San Juan Mountains along US-550. There are gorgeous views and many streams flowing to the Uncompahgre River on the west side of town. Not to mention the rock amphitheater surrounding the town. This morning we are hiking to Cascade Falls. It is a two (2) minute drive from Main Street on the east side of town. Can’t beat that commute! Like most every road and trail in Ouray, it is UP this way!
