Central location for hiking San Juan Mountains and biking to Montrose. You can rent a bike in Ridgeway and bike for hours in any direction. You can rent a kayak to go in the Ridgway State park. You can visit a few breweries and one has a third floor patio you can see the historical downtown of Ouray.

It was wonderful. Unfortunately my campsite was very close to the road so the headlights bothered me a little but not bad! Not too far out of town and very nicely kept
