Ouray's Main Street

I chose a couple of photos to provide a sense of the essence of the small community of Ouray, Colorado.  It is rightly referred to as "The Switzerland of America" because it is nestled at the base of towering mountains.  It is also quaint and has maintained the historic buildings on Main Street.  It depends on tourism to survive and I think it's a great place to visit.  They are the gateway for a variety of scenic Jeep trips in the summer months and they host an ice climbing event in the winter.  There's always a reason to visit.
