Excellent hike to view the many views of Ouray. Make sure you take water and rain gear as the weather may change. I can be done in the winter but I recommend having spikes or cleats.

Long drive down to Durango but National Park is well worth the trip. Certain ruins require tours and may require you to be down there early in the morning. Please do your research prior to a visit.

A two hour drive down to Durango. May require advance reservations. Recommend doing one way trip and taking the bus back if your time is limited since the route returns the same way that you originally travelled.

Adventure
The route is varied with sections of narrow rock ledge, rungs across blank rock sections, climbing and descending sections and cable traverses – with the entire route protected by continuous safety cable.
The route is positioned entirely on the east side of the ice park gorge with no interference arising with Park ice climbing routes, operations or activity. Care has been taken to create this Via Feratta with the additional purpose of using it to access, and not interfere with, existing and potential new rock climbing routes on the eastern ice park cliff faces. This construction is intended to be a “core” Uncompahgre Gorge installation with future expansion in all directions feasible.
Features of the Ouray Via Ferrata include:
approximately 4000+ linear feet of anchored cable protected / rung enhanced trail
two technical exits of approximately 200 feet each
one 35′ long cable wire bridge across the Uncompahgre Gorge at the South end start of the route
one ascending “Sky Bridge” at the North end of the route spanning the gorge for approximately 75′ at 35 degrees in angle
wide variety of vertical and horizontal route sections with interesting and varied movement designed, implemented, and installed by local climbing professionals and engineers
a fantastic opportunity to experience the beauty and majesty of the world famous Uncompahgre Gorge in the summer time!
