The [place id="1042" slug="WHUk_MWc/ouray-ice-park-ouray-colorado-us" label="Ouray Ice Park"] is a human-made ice climbing park open late December through mid March in Ouray, Colorado.

It is a free, public park that's home to more than 150 ice and mixed climbs, spanning almost 2 miles of the Uncompahgre Gorge.
