The Ouray Via Ferrata is a thrilling adventure in the heart of Colorado's stunning landscape. With two routes to choose from - the Downstream and Upstream - visitors can experience the excitement of climbing along iron rungs and cables while taking in breathtaking views. Guiding services and equipment rentals are available for those looking for a guided experience. Whether you're a seasoned climber or a first-timer, the Ouray Via Ferrata offers an unforgettable outdoor experience that will leave you wanting more. The only way to make it better is to complete when fall colors are at their peak.

I would only recommend the upstream route for climbers as it was very physical and had some tricky moves and exposure. Reach out to Basecamp Ouray or local guides for their expertise.
