About

The Uncompahgre Falls Connector Trail is a short, 0.1-mile hiking path located in Ouray, Colorado, on the Western Slope. It serves primarily as an access point to view Uncompahgre Falls and the surrounding Ouray Valley. The trail follows an unnamed dirt path alongside the Uncompahgre River. Hikers should exercise caution due to steep drop-offs along the route. The trailhead features parking available at a turnout along the Million Dollar Highway. Dogs are permitted on a leash. The trail is rated as moderate difficulty and sits at an elevation of approximately 9,295 feet. While the connector itself is brief, it links to other routes for longer excursions.
