The best mountain bookstore on the planet, tucked away just off Main Street in Ouray
Ouray’s bookstore was established in 2001, when P. David Smith moved his shop into the newly renovated Beaumont Hotel. Originally called Buckskin Books, the store stayed in the Beaumont for more than twenty years, seeing new ownership under Robert Stouffer and then Brian and Amy Exstrum.
In the spring of 2024, Ouray Books sold to Ouray local Pat Light and moved to the space underneath Mouse’s Chocolates.
