With more storms forecast for the afternoon, we decided to get a couple good hikes in as early as possible.  We also decided to spend a second night in the hotel, and were glad we did since a major hailstorm hit late in the afternoon. After a repeat breakfast at the Backstreet Bistro we headed up to Box Canyon.  Nora thought getting sprayed by the mist from the falls was pretty amazing.  


She liked looking down over the falls from high above even better. 
 After some Spicy Leprechan Balls at O’Brien’s Pub we did a second hike on the Portland Trail. 

Nora wanted to live in a “Baby Bathtub” and screamed when we took her out. 


We made it back to the hotel just in time to avoid getting soaked by a slow moving thunderstorm.  The skies cleared early in the evening and we ended our last full day in Ouray with a dip in the Ouray Hot Springs.  Sorry folks, no pictures of me in my bathing suit!
