Baby Bathtubs Trail

About

The Baby Bathtubs Trail is a short, easy hike located just south of Ouray, Colorado, beginning off Amphitheater Campground Road. The trail follows a small gorge and stream, featuring natural potholes and pools that form the namesake 'bathtubs.' It is popular with families for its accessible terrain and water features, though conditions vary with seasonal water flow. The route shares segments with the Ouray Perimeter Trail and connects to the Portland Trail. Hikers should expect loose gravel, scree, and some steep drop-offs near the gorge edge. Parking is limited to pull-offs near the wooden bridge crossing the gorge. The trail is generally considered easy to moderate, with some sections requiring caution for small children due to the terrain and proximity to the stream.
