A brief description from The Best Hiking in Southwest Colorado: "Ouray’s scenic Perimeter Trail circumnavigates the town by traveling along cliffs, canyons and forested hillsides. Along the way the trail passes points of interest including Cascade Falls, the Baby Bath Tubs, the Amphitheater, the Uncompahgre River, Canyon Creek and some beautifully restored Victorian homes."
Here is a link to the full trail description with an elevation profile and map for the Ouray Perimeter Trail
We did not hike the entire Perimeter trail, we cut off the northern end of the loop. From our motel, we walked across Ouray and then up the short but steep slope to the Lower Cascade Falls.
