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!

Hiking Trail Conditions Update August 11, 2022

Trail Closures and Hiking Trail Conditions Update

for Trails near Ouray, Ridgway, and the Cimarrons August 11, 2022

The Richmond Trail from the Highway 550 Trailhead to the junction with the Full Moon Trail is closed by the U.S. Forest Service until December to protect public safety during reclamation of the nearby Irene Mine. The upper Richmond Trail and Richmond Pass can be reached via the Full Moon Trail. To our knowledge, all other trails in our area are open and accessible.

The Dallas Trail trailhead on County Rd. 17 3 miles north of Ouray was temporarily closed by flood debris from nearby Corbett Creek but is now open again. Please respect No Parking signs if present, to allow county workers to continue clearing debris. As of this writing, parking is available on the east side of the road.
