A stop along the Ouray Perimeter Trail (OPT)
Hiking the Ouray Perimeter Trail is a great way to spend a few hours exploring the area around this scenic mountain town. Along the way you may be visiting some of your favorite nearby landmarks, while undoubtedly discovering new ones.



This series of caches is our way of trying to entice more people to step out on the trail and enjoy the tour! Caches are all small so BYOP to sign the log.

The entire loop is about 4.5 miles... do the whole route or any segment. We started at the Baby Bathtubs trailhead off the Amphitheater campground road and went clockwise around town... but you may begin at any of several points and proceed in either direction.... so I will leave the series unnumbered.

Put on your hiking boots, take some water, a snack or lunch, hit the trail, and ... enjoy the amazing views!

All caches are located near the trail and should not require extensive cross country travel. Stay safe. Children should be closely supervised.

Short distance off the trail. Please close this cache tightly and replace securely

All I have to say about this is wow! This is the reason I started geocaching! To find new things I would've never known of otherwise. I was in awe of the slot and waterfall near the parking area, and when I peered over the edge just south of GZ, I was intrigued. After finding the cache, I decided to go down to the parking area and hike up the canyon as far as I could. A couple of really fun scrambles up some small waterfalls and lots of lovely narrow, albeit shallow, canyon to enjoy! One could descend the whole canyon by rappelling the major waterfall under the bridge (found the bolts), though I'm more of a hydrophobic individual when on a rope. Definitely gets a favorite from me :) TFTC!

Short hike to a neat place. Lots of pink water worn rocks. Distinctive amidst all the green and gray rocks. Your rocks are great!
