Ouray Vinegar Hill for Sledding

If you’re in Ouray during winter and haven’t hit Vinegar Hill yet, you’re missing out. This is the kind of sledding spot locals actually go to — not some groomed tourist setup, just a solid hill with real snow and those jaw-dropping San Juan Mountain views all around you. It’s a classic Colorado experience, nothing fancy about it, which is honestly part of the appeal. Come prepared for the terrain and dress warm, because Ouray winters don’t mess around.
