Colorado | Ouray | Million Dollar Highway | Switzerland of America Lookout Point | Scenic View | Viewpoint | Day Trip | Scenic Drive | Photo Stop
A stop at the Ouray Overlook (advertised as the Switzerland of America Lookout Point) is a great addition to any drive along the Million Dollar Highway. The historic Colorado mining town of Ouray sits in a valley below surrounded by the San Juan Mountains. You'll find a little history of the town on signage at the stop which has parking and great photo points.

Made a photo stop to see the mountains and the old mining town of Ouray, Colorado down below!
Fun fact: The city of Ouray got its name from a chief of the Ute tribe.
