Ouray Dinosaur Track Hike and Orvis Hot Springs. **Members Only**
About this event
**Registration Opens on 8/17/25 at 8AM MT**
Bring a picnic lunch and join us for a beautiful up and back hike in Ouray to see the longest documented dinosaur tracks in the world. This was recently opened to the public. The trail is approximately 4.5 miles roundtrip with about a 1700 ft elevation gain.
The trail is sun exposed and steep in the beginning and then enters a forested area. We will view and take pictures of the dinosaur tracks and then walk a short distance beyond the tracks to overlook Ouray and have lunch here.
Well behaved dogs welcome (bring a leash), if you are not going to the hot springs. Bring water for you and your pup, a raincoat, lunch, hiking shoes, poles and sunscreen for the hike and a bathing suit and towel for the hot springs. Total Hiking Time will be around 3 hours.
After the hike, we will visit Orvis Hot Springs in Ridgway for a soak in their lithium-rich springs. Orvis is one of the most beautiful hot springs in Colorado, with ten natural-looking rock pools surrounded by flower gardens. Clothing is optional at these springs.
No fee for the hike. Orvis charges $28 for a day pass. Participants who wish to visit the springs should bring cash or a credit card to pay Orvis directly.
