OURAY ICE PARK

Ouray, Colorado is home to the world-famous Ouray Ice Park as well as some of the finest backcountry multi-pitch ice climbing terrain in the Lower 48 states. San Juan Mountain Guides is Ouray's only year round climbing guide service- The Local Experts. Most of our guides call Ouray home and their knowledge of the area is truly incomparable. Our guide service instructs in all disciplines of climbing, although ice climbing is our specialty.

Due to a number of factors, Ouray is one of the best places to learn the art of ice climbing. Two-minute approach walks, mild winter temperatures, abundant sunshine and a lifetime of ice climbing objectives combine to make Ouray one of the world's finest ice climbing destinations. There is a good variety of terrain for every skill level, for first-time-climbing grandparents to well-skilled leaders.
