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.

First Aid Course a Big Success!

Ouray Trail Group owes a big thank you to Pam Foyster and Justin Dennison for a successful First Aid certification course! The class was so popular that OTG had to add an additional session to accommodate the 21 participants who registered.  First Aid certification is a prerequisite for OTG's Sawyer (both chainsaw and crosscut) and Trail Crew Leader certifications. Click the Training tab above to learn more about OTG's Training Schedule and course offerings.
