Ouray The altitude of Ouray is 7, 721 feet; its popula- tion is 2, ooo. To the eye Ouray is completely walled in by an amphitheatre of precipitous cliff, with no por- tal apparent. Its site is a natural park; upon one side the amphitheatre of cliff is banded with all shades of red from pink to maroon, and topped with orange: upon another a limestone white predominates; and upon another the white and the more vivid hues are overcast by the darker pines and cedars. From high up on the front of on...e striated cliff out-gushes a sudden [29] "Around the Circle" water-fall. At the opposite limits of the town is an area underlaid by hot springs, and all the year the grass and cress grow green. Beyond is Box Canon, a crack extending from base to crest of wall, through which careens, roaring and tumbling, a creek. A walk has been constructed by which the crack may be ascended for some distance. Across the canon has been thrown a suspension bridge. Mining is Ouray's chief asset; and the aerial tramways of the mines look like spider-webs against the crimson and yellow and white backgrounds.
