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.

I have also included a photo of the cache site in the gallery for a visual reference. Enjoy!

Tried to make a quick stop at this one, and I ended up meeting lots of local detachable sticky vegetation instead. Found the cache and then spent some time removing all my new poky friends. TFTC!
