Just 21 feet short of a 14er, Ouray is Colorado's second highest 13er. Despite it's elevation, we were able to walk from the TH to Ouray's summit in approach shoes. The snow was supportive and the talus fairly stable.

The Devil's Armchair is one of the Sawatch's more engaging ski lines. Make sure to pick out your ski line on ascent. There are plenty of options, but not all of them go!
