Welcome to the Ouray Trail Group

Enjoy our trails • Leave no trace

The Ouray Trail Group is a non-profit corporation of volunteers, founded in 1986, dedicated to the preservation and safe public use of Ouray area hiking trails.  Our members take a stewardship role in protecting, preserving and maintaining the natural and recreational resources we all enjoy.

This site provides information about the Ouray Trail Group and the hiking trails we maintain in the Ouray area.  Exploring this website will give the visitor a sense of the incredible scenery and history to be discovered along these trails.  The Ouray Trail Group map and hiking guide, offered for sale here, provide an essential reference for hiking this rugged and complex terrain, and sales support OTG's trail maintenance and construction efforts.

OTG Mailing Lists

Mailing Lists

Want news of OTG or our weekly work trips? We've got mailing lists for that. Ouray Trail Group recently switched mailing services and we have self-subscribe options for you to add or remove yourself from the lists. 

OTG Newsletters come out once a month and have general announcements, summaries of trips that have happened or are about to and pictures of the group in action. When you become a member, you automatically are subscribed to this list. 

Weekly Work emails are sent summer through fall and detail the weeks work trips. There's generally a work trip on Mondays and Thursdays but as changes are made, they'll be listed in this email. Expect one email per week but more if weather changes our plans. 

To join the weekly work list, use this subscription form:
