I'm 79 and was born in Grand Junction, CO, Mesa County. Ouray, which you mispronounce as "oo-ray", is actually pronounced "yer-ray" by the natives of the area. Just thought you might like to know. 😁👍
Great video! I lived in Ouray with some friends one summer, and we had a blast. Not a good place for permanent residence unless you can work remotely, but terrific for an extended vacation. I moved to Grand Junction and was close enough to visit often.
I am fortunate to live 30 minutes from Ouray (You-ray) and often will do a lunchtime cruise on my motorcycle to there or Silverton (and Telluride!). You guys did a great job highlighting the phenomenal beauty of our area and I hope you'll come back and visit again and often!
Ok. First of all, I just took this trip last month and I too, shot a lot of drone and video, but honestly, I'm pretty green with envy. You guys really nailed it on this project. Through neglance😚I somehow didn't make it on the gondola. Darn it!!! You not only got great shots, but your whole production here is top notch! You really kept it interesting and, you know, all I can add is, what a place to fly a drone. I probably got some of my best drone shots too on the road going south from Ouray. Thanks for a beautiful program, and I only wish I had half the energy you two have. I'm 75 now, but soooooo out of shape. I'm still gonna put my program together, but I'm a little embarrassed, even though I think I got some good shots, I'm walking with my tail between my legs, if I had to compete with you. But heck. I still gave it all I had and really enjoyed the whole trip. Everything you said about this place is true.
@@marctrainor5595 thanks for your really nice comment! I have to say sometimes when we take a trip I get a lot footage, I’m not always sure if it’s going to come out as a good video in the end. I’ll just take my time in the edited and make sure I tell a story in the video. I’ll fill in the missing parts with lots of voiceover or find a stock photo here and there if I need it. You might be surprised in the end!
Visitor hint: The town of Telluride is limited on parking. Yesterday there are meters, but parking at Mountain Village is free during the day at the public garage at the uppermost end of the Gondola, Market Center. The garage is right next to the Gondola station. Take the short 5-minute Gondola the the center of Mountain Village and then the longer 10-minute run up over San Sophia down into “downtown” Telluride. See everything you need to see, just in reverse order but take advantage of the free parking garage in MV.
Thanks for your video! You had some great footage of both places and it took me back down memory lane. We have stayed in Ouray and Telluride/Mountain Village a few times. Both are great but Telluride/Mountain Village will always be our favorite Colorado destination in the early Fall. You just can't be it. You basically get two towns for the price of one but with different aesthetics, feels, and offerings all in one location. The gondola system is amazing. Easy to hop on and off and the views from it are spectacular. Especially as the sun is setting. Telluride is a foodie destination and has an eclectic mix of restaurants. You have access to hiking trails right from town in both places which makes it easy just to walk to a trail head. We also love the rivertrail as it offers more beautiful views of nature in Telluride. Then you have Bridal Veil Falls and its well worth it to take a Jeep up to it or our favorite is to hike Bridal Veil Falls Trail so we get to see three different waterfalls on the way. We have taken the jeep on Last Dollar Road and Ophir Pass and those were great. We have para-glided from Mountain Village down to Telluride and that gives you the most amazing experience and views. One of our favorite things to do is to just walk through the town of Telluride and look at all the pretty houses with their beautiful landscaping. Yeah, Telluride/Mountain Village is top of our list. It has so much to offer even beyond what I mentioned. Everyone there is so active and the place just feels alive. If anyone is considering going, just do it! You won't regret it!
I grew up in Telluride, Ouray and Durango. Really appreciate and enjoyed this video. Our house (no longer there) was at the bottom of Bridal Veil Falls and a short distance away. There is a lot to discover and enjoy there. Great video.
@@pilarreynolds6440 I am not aware of a taxi company per se, but Uber is available. Check prices first, it might be cheaper to rent a car in Montrose. If you want to travel the back country, San Juan Scenic Jeep tours is a great option. Their drivers are experienced and make stops along the way to get out, walk around, take photos, etc. Not sure when you'll be there but if you can take the Durango to Silverton narrow gauge railroad. You have to plan ahead because they tend to stay busy. It is amazing. Hope this helps.
Great video I'm trying to plan a trip next summer to Telluride. We lived in Nebraska used to take vacations to Colorado quite a bit but haven't been there probably 7 years
Thanks for a great video! I am planning to visit there next month. I can't decide a location of an accommodation between Ouray and Telluride. Peopl said Ouray is better than Telluride because the town is bigger, but the scenery looks much better in Telluride!! What's your opinion? Thanks
Both are great options and both equally scenic. Telluride might be a little nicer, but Ouray is a little more centrally located in the area. Telluride also is a little cooler than Ouray because how it sits in the mountains.
im laughing at how you have mispronounced all these places hahaha. ouray, estes, and silverton. but i get it. perhaps i take it for granted, having heard those many times living in CO. anyways i enjoyed the scenic shots.
I think the reason is because in the winter the snow will not run off the road or can’t be plowed with guard rails then making it not being able to use in the winter

@@crystalryanparadise Thanks for letting me know. On the west coast we have many places with indigenous names that many people miss pronounce.

@@DanKyrke thanks so much for the nice comment!
Wow! What a gorgeous location. I’d love to go here one day :)
Great view

@@scottpollak1471 Thanks! It’s definitely one of the most beautiful places we have been!
heard its a little bit racist what ate your thoughts ?
@@SoMoteItBe777 I think you heard wrong.
Thanks for recommending the gondola in Telluride.

Thanks so much for these tips. Parking was very limited when we were there.
First learned about Telluride because I am interested in mining history. Looks nice and clean, well thought out tourist destination.

Thanks! It’s such a beautiful area with lots to do and see.
It’s pronounced yur·ay
@@jaburk thanks for the clarification.
I've been to both of those places but I stayed in ouray
Town where I grew up ❤
Great video!
@@andrewnaum4749 thanks!
I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.

Consider lodging in Ridgway. It's 10 minutes from Ouray and may be a tiny bit more affordable.

Would love a link to your doggie backpack. We are poodle people to.
Here you go. A lot of people say this brand is one of the best. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0888SRMHS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

ok , why are there no guard rails on that road ???
I think the reason is because in the winter the snow will not run off the road or can’t be plowed with guard rails then making it not being able to use in the winter
Part of the mystique…
Worked in Ouray in 1996-2002. It's pronounced U-Ray. The "O" is silent.
They definitely pronounce it wrong. Like you ray… not ooo ray…
It's Silver"ton" not Silver"ston"...Yankees🤔😎
