OURAY – Last week, Ouray was named “Best Destination for Recreation in Colorado” for 2009 by the popular online site, The Official Best Of (www.officialbestof.com).
Ouray will be listed on the website and will be featured on the television program The Best of Colorado, which will air Oct. 24 at 12 p.m. on KCNC (CBS 4) in Denver.
Official Best of solicits nominations for award winners on its website, which is intended to provide TV and web viewers with the official best places to visit in a number of states across America.
Ouray Chamber Resort Association President Karen Avery said it’s been quite the month for Ouray. She notes that the “Best Of” designation comes on the heels of Ouray being named one of the most beautiful towns and villages in the southwest by a book of the same title.
“The Switzerland of America is the perfect escape from the everyday,” said Avery. “Jeeping, hiking, horseback riding and biking are popular summertime activities. The Ouray Ice Park – the first of its kind dedicated solely to the sport of ice climbing – is a huge draw in the wintertime. We host hundreds of the world’s best climbers every January for the infamous Ouray Ice Festival. It’s really quite something.”
Avery noted that there are plenty of cold weather activities for the average Joe, as well. Snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and sledding are popular options, as well as the Ouray Hot Springs Pool, which is open year round.
