    Thank you so much for the gorgeous views. If you continue on 50 highway east through Kansas you will pass right by my house in Hutchinson Kansas when you cross 61 highway N and 50 highway E.
  • @williambingham2459
    September 15 following is when the aspen groves turn golden. Awesome place. Road out of Cortez over Lizard Pass to Tellurid and down across to Ouray is some ride too. You would love. Ought to see Black Canyon near Montrose toward the east at Gunnison is something to see, also. 😊
  • @LeidonWestEames
    Highway 550 is my all time fav. I go to silverton from Texas once a year. I Love driving the alpine loop backroads. Awesome!

    We drove from Durango to Ouray, right before winter, a few years ago. There were a few rock slides. We were towing our Airstream. It was white knuckle. When we got down to the gas station in Ouray, my husband got out, patted the ground & said “never again”. 🙂
  • @cynthiabackman6174

    Thank you so much Russ for your excellent videoes! Not only front, but now back views, as well as, drone! The added bonus is feeling like we are physically riding shotgun with you on all these adventures! Congrats on creating the best videoes on YouTube in my opinion. Keep on rolling…. 🎉

    My wife and I made that trip last summer. Couldn’t of imagined having to pull the trailer as well because that Hwy is sketchy with drop offs and lack of guardrails.
  • @valerie022848
    Wow! Beautiful, but terrifying! With my fear of heights and the drop offs right at the roadway, my heart was in my throat. No way would I want to take that highway!
  • @katkatkat88888
    You outdid yourself with this one, spectacular! A lot of people are afraid to drive the 550, but it's one of our favorites. Nothing more beautiful!
