Perimeter Trail

We slept in this morning and then each of us did some cleaning -- I did laundry and cleaned the RV while John aired the tires and cleaned the Jeep.

After lunch we took a 5 mile hike around Ouray. The Ouray Perimeter Trail climbs up along the ridge of the eastern walls of the mountain, crosses the creek created by the Cascades Falls before turning south and then crossing the Box Canyon on the south west side of the city. The trail goes thru a tunnel on the west side of the Box Canyon and descends into Ouray ending at the Hot Springs Pool north of town.

We, of course, took advantage of the 106° end of the pool to warm the sore muscles. A quick change and we dined at the Outlaw Restaurant. Really nice evening!
