Mountain Biking in Ouray Colorado
This beautiful area offers a well rounded, off-road experience for cyclists
When you think of mountain biking in Colorado, locations such as Durango, Fruita, Crested Butte or Ouray come to mind. Ouray??? Where's Ouray?
Locals (and a growing number of guests) know very well that this beautiful area offers a well-rounded, off-road experience for cyclists. Cyclists of all levels can spend several days in Ouray during their travels through the mountains of Colorado and access numerous back roads and trails that wind above and around Ouray, as well as access unlimited riding throughout the San Juan Mountains.
All of these rides will allow you to experience the beauty that the area has to offer. No matter if you're hammering on the single track of Portland Trail, grinding away on Imogene Pass, or taking your time on the easier River Road, there is something for everyone.
If you are enjoying a family trip with children, plan an easy ride along the river just north of town and easily accessible from the city limits. Ouray is a bike-friendly town; a bike is always a good way to visit many of the attractions Ouray has to offer.
Remember to prepare for high-altitude weather, which changes frequently. You will want to have plenty of water and sunscreen to keep you well hydrated and riding strong. Contact Ouray Mountain Sports. They can provide basic biking necessities and trail access information. |
