Scott, Ouray IS beautiful. If you have a chance I would definitely stop for a few hours, if not the night, to take everything in (there is a clothing optional natural hot sping there - Orvis). The drive from Durango to Ouray over the "Million Dollar Highway" is unbelievable. Just make sure that you stop to check out the views because if you take your eyes off of the road for a second you could end up at the bottom of a VERY deep canyon.

Good route choice.
