We spent the first week of July in Ouray, Colorado, for our Summer/anniversary vacation. The Silvershield trailhead is only a block from the house where we stayed. The trail started out quite steep, working its way quickly up from the Uncompaghre River, across the valley from Gold Hill. The Silvershield then turned south towards Ouray, leading to some good overlooks of the town and the surrounding mountains and valleys. We took the Oak Creek trail down to Ouray, and then the riverwalk trail back to the house.
