The Baby Bath Tubs trail is an extension of the Ouray Perimeter trail. While it is classed as a simple hike, I would recommend using walking poles. There are several places where loose gravel makes it a bit slick and some of the walkway is relatively steep. Along the trail we saw some nice flowers and butterflies, but of course the purpose of the trail is to take you up to an area where you can get into the water on the creek.

This was our favorite "hike" on our trip to Ouray. We went with our 11 and 8 year olds. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it turned out being a lot of fun. Plus, every other home was crowded and this was empty. Bring water shoes! When you get to the trailhead, climb down to the water and hike through the creek. You do need to be able-bodied to scurry up over the small rock waterfalls, but this was the fun part for us. There are a million different kinds of rocks, so it was great fun for our little geologist. Even my oldest who hates to hike loved this. It was really neat to do this after going on a mine tour too, because we understood more about what we were looking at.

We spent a couple hours exploring the rock formations and the water that flows down them. Easy hike you can climb up parts in the water. A giant thank u to the gal from Texas who helped me when I tripped on the last step
