  • I am a 4th Generation Colo Native. This is a good video but I have one correction. The Georgetown Loop was not originally just for tourists. The Colorado Midland RR went from Golden, Followed Clear Creek up to Idaho Springs and Georgetown to haul gold and silver ore down to Denver for Smelting. When Silver was found in Silver Plume and Bakerville, They built an additional line to those mining camps and the Devils Gate Bridge was built to accomplish that.

    I can add a travel tip from our experience in Rocky Mountain National Park. If you are driving cross country and live in a low elevation. When you take the highest highway your O2 sensor may need to adjust. Get out at several stops on your way up and walk around for about 30 minutes. Our SUV die on the road and would not start for about 15 minutes before finally limping to the pass. We got out and waited 45 minutes and then drove straight to the mechanic he just laughed and said it happens all the time. O2 sensor needs to adjust and takes time. It was a scary and dangerous lesson for this midwesterner. Love the videos.
  • I never seen detail films from Colorado,thanks for this amazing tutorial film ,we enjoy a lot

    Absolutely beautiful. My wife and I will be flying to Salt Lake City for an epic road trip to the Big 5 next Friday for 10 days. Looking forward to some touring, hiking and just hanging out.

    I like how your video is basically set up like a documentary. It's helping me plan our trip!
  • Love the video except for the Breckenridge comment. I went during Thanksgiving 2020 & fell in love with Breck. Have been there 2020, 2021 & 2023. Never been in summer but they also have lots of things going on plus lots of shops. This is my happy place! ❤

    Thoroughly enjoyed this! My wife and I combined the Colorado Rockies with Dinosaur National Monument, Teton and Yellowstone. Then back to Denver from Wyoming.

    Are you sure it wasn't 1976 when the dam in Estes broke. I was living there when everything got wiped out. It was 1976 not 1982. I loved you video. I live in Arizona now, so this was a trip down memory lane for me.
  • @lisablanton6842
    Fantastic video thru my childhood home state! I took this virtual trip with you today. Guess I was homesick for the Rockies. Grew up in suburb of Denver & have great memories of camping with my family & girl scouts. Especially loved the segments of Rocky Mtn NP, Fall River Rd, & Aspen. You guys are a treasure. Thank you!!!
