WEEKEND ADVENTURE TRAVEL
Weekend in the San Juan Mountains
DAY 1
Arrive in Ouray, settle in, and give your body time to adjust to the 7,800+ ft elevation with a light walk and plenty of hydration. Ease into the adventure with your choice of a UTV ride, canyoning descent, or whitewater rafting on nearby alpine terrain. By day’s end, you’re acclimated, energized, and fully immersed in the rugged San Juan Mountain experience.

DAY 2
Day two raises the bar with a summit push up Mount Sneffels, a classic San Juan climb with steep scree and big alpine exposure. For a more technical but guided experience, take on the Ouray Via Ferrata, traversing cliffs above the gorge with ladders and cables. Or keep it scenic with a visit to Box Canyon Falls Park, where roaring water cuts through a narrow canyon just steps from town.

DAY 3
Day three offers a choice between the sheer drama of Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, with vertigo-inducing overlooks and steep inner canyon hikes. Or keep the adrenaline going with another round of whitewater rafting on the region’s fast-moving alpine rivers. Either way, it’s a fitting finale—big landscapes, high energy, and a final dose of Colorado adventure.
