The Alpine Loop isn’t just a route.

It’s 63 miles of high-country roads, ghost towns, mountain passes, mining history, alpine lakes, and views that remind you why Ouray is called the Switzerland of America.

Start riverside. Pick up your Jeep. Follow the old roads into the San Juans.

From Ouray to Silverton to Lake City and back again, this is the kind of Colorado day you remember.

Reserve your Jeep Ouray adventure at Ouray Riverside Resort.

Friday Nights. Done Right.

There are some evenings you remember long after summer is over.

Fresh shrimp, sweet corn, smoked sausage, and potatoes served straight from the boil.

Live music from Jack Haight on the patio.

And this year's perfect pairing...

🍍 The Hummingbird

Our newest handcrafted cocktail brings together bright tropical flavors with just enough mountain attitude. It's the perfect companion to a warm summer evening and a table full of friends.

Join us every Friday this summer for one of Ouray's favorite new traditions.

Some stories begin after dinner.

The day may end when the trails close, but evenings in Ouray have a way of writing their own stories.

Our handcrafted Smoked Old Fashioned is more than a cocktail—it's part of the experience.

Smoked tableside, built with care, and meant to be enjoyed slowly.

Pull up a chair.

Watch the smoke rise.

Toast another unforgettable day in the San Juan Mountains.

Join us at The Smokehouse for handcrafted cocktails, slow-smoked BBQ, live music, and mountain evenings that linger long after the sun goes down.

Some moments aren't rushed.

Neither are our cocktails.

Some things never stop flowing.

The water still carves its way through the canyon.

The mountains still greet the sunrise.

And people still pause here—not because they have to, but because some places remind us to slow down.

That's what makes Ouray special.

It's found in quiet overlooks, rushing waterfalls, mountain trails, and the moments in between.

Summer is in full swing, and there's still plenty of time to experience everything that has made Ouray one of Colorado's most unforgettable mountain towns.

Come spend a few days with us.

Take the scenic drive.

Listen to the river.

Watch the waterfalls.

Sit a little longer than you planned.

Sometimes, that's exactly what you needed.

El paso de Imogene y la carretera de Tomboy están cerrados al tráfico de TODOS los vehículos y peatones, desde el punto de acceso de Oak Street hasta Smuggler-Union Mill, cerca de Tomboy, debido a los deslizamientos de tierra y las inundaciones del viernes.

Las condiciones en la zona son peligrosas y se avecinan más tormentas. Los equipos no esperan poder llegar de forma segura a la zona para realizar un análisis completo y las labores de recuperación hasta, como muy pronto, a finales de la próxima semana.

Por favor, no sorteéis las barreras, ni a pie ni en vehículo. En la ciudad, el Departamento de Obras Públicas y nuestro contratista retirarán progresivamente los escombros de la tormenta de Tomboy Road y otras calles, centrándose especialmente en estas labores cuando el tiempo mejore.

Come Hungry. Leave Happy.

There's something about walking through these doors after a day in the mountains.

Maybe you've spent the afternoon exploring Jeep trails, hiking to a waterfall, or simply wandering the streets of Ouray. Whatever the adventure, this is where the day slows down.

Good food.
Good people.
A relaxed atmosphere.
And mountain hospitality that feels like coming home.

Join us at The Smokehouse, where slow-smoked BBQ, handcrafted cocktails, Colorado craft beer, and live music come together to create the perfect ending to a day in the San Juan Mountains.

Sometimes the best part of the adventure isn't on the trail.

It's around the table.

We'll see you this weekend from brunch 9-2pm and dinner starting at 5pm Thursday thru Saturday.
