Ouray, Colorado
Reservation at the 4J+1 RV park in June... What should be on our "must do" list? TIA

Ouray -- one of our favorite places for lots of reasons. We go from 7 days to maybe 14-16 days in Sept and hunt for gold. Nuggets? No, aspen! I do a lot of photography and that is prime time - but anytime is great.
We stay at the KOA - do not recommend the 4J+1 -- nice advantage of being in town but spacing & roads very tight. The KOA gets very high ratings and deservedly so.
Not going to start yet another discussion on driving Hwy 550 from Ouray to Silverton. I do not recommend it with an RV at all and for drivers who are mountain driving experienced. Good 2 lane road but sections with no shoulder, no guard rail and straight down. Yes, maybe you will be fine but how about the guy coming against you who isn't and takes his half out of the middle?
That being said, it is one of the most beautiful drives you will ever take.
We will be in Ouray for 10 days in Sept again this year.
