The Best Western in Ouray (pronounced "You-ray") is a fun place indeed. Last night, we swam in the mineral spring, in their nicely heated pool (95F), and then enjoyed a bunch of Hot Chai and other teas in the office, until they chased us out at 9.
This morning, enjoyed their breakfast (including waffles, biscuits and gravy, yogurt, fruit, and cereal), and then walked up to the Box Falls.
The town is a small, very picturesque place. The whole town is a "national historic landmark". A neat toy store with thinking toys and games, a place specializing in ice climbing gear (they have the largest ice park in the Americas), and many nice B&B's and Cafe's. As with many of the places that we've been though, they are just starting to wake up - many places painting and cleaning, construction, etc.
More fluries of snow, but the ground was warm enough that it doesn't stick. Decided to stay for another night here, and enjoy the place before heading on tomorrow.
