Gear I use for backpacking and filming is mostly purchased from craigslist boulder and thrift stores. I shop in these areas for outdoor gear because the people in this area update their gear every year and have good money, so I try to find last years gear for cheap in areas like this.

If you are ever back in that area go to Pagosa Springs. A lovely town with awesome hot springs and a couple of blocks of lovely shops to wander. A good place to live if you want Colorado living without loads of tourists and traffic.

You have done the best job of showing the best features of the best state or region of the world. Congratulations and thank you. There is one obscure bit of interest I haven’t seen on RU-vid and that’s the two story outhouse in Crested Butte. If it is still there it can be seen when you walk down the back alley. Unfortunately there are (or were) no tours, but it is good for a laugh. All of you who have seen it, speak up! Thanks again for the best.

The Paradise Cove swimming hole is in Guffey, 52 miles from Colorado Springs. I had to look that up because watching this video, I was a little alarmed that I missed a place like that which your video gave me the impression was near Colorado Springs, where I lived for several years. Vail would be beautiful but like you, I was shocked at seeing and hearing the highway when I saw it for the first time. The configuration of the mountains only amplifies the highway sound. One of the weirdest sites/sights in Colorado I stumbled on one day is the Cresson pit, a gaping man made hole in the earth over 2,400 feet deep outside of Cripple Creek, where they mine for gold. I'm sure there are lots of videos of that on YT. You did a nice overview of some beautiful places in Colorado, many I never saw.

@RyksVideos 4 года назад

Glad you liked it. Yeah I have heard of the pit, never been to it... saw the Climax pit on fremont pass near leadville.. I think it is pretty small compared to the gold one.

In Silverton it’s worth noting there is an experts only ski area there called Silverton Mountain.

It’s a neat train to ride, too, if you have the time.

Everything in this vid is true, but it is worth mentioning the "awesome Fall colors." That color is yellow. Maybe a hint of orange, but most of the deciduous trees in the mountains of Colorado are Aspen trees and they turn yellow. I only mention that because people from other states, especially back east, who love to partake in the Autumn colors will expect reds, browns, and all flavors of oranges and yellows. In Colorado, not so much. - Colorado is still the best State by far. Just saying.

@RyksVideos 4 года назад

For day hikes, there is willow lakes along with Crater lake.. that is more of a drive, also boulder lake, Buffalo Mountain, and surrounding area, but multi day you van take the Gore Rabge trail.. or as a one nighter or long day hike you could hike from wildernest around Buffalo and over Red mtn pass and into Vail, then hitchhike back to summit.
