European Reacts to Geography of the Rocky Mountains explained 

Canada IS a beautiful country, and we love our northern neighbors. 7

My home is in the mountains of northern Utah, not far from Yellowstone and Colorado. The narrator missed telling about the beautiful mountains of Idaho and Montana (Glacier National Park and the Sawtooth Range). Pick anywhere in the area, and you’ll love it. Be aware that winters can be quite long and brutal, but if prepared, you’ll love that, too. I’ve been to Banff and Jasper in the Canadian Rockies. Wow! 7

Banff National Park is stunning. Canada is indeed a beautiful country and a great place to visit. The people are very friendly and welcoming.

(7) I grew up in Utah and been inside the mountains myself. I'm right in the valley of the Rockies. I can never ever get tired of looking around me during the seasons. Winters are the whitest peaks I've ever seen. Spring with the melting snow and green slowly coming out. Summer spotted by greens and browns. Finally autumn/fall decorated by reds and yellows.

Brother, I live in Colorado Springs right at the base of Pikes Peak. It's the most beautiful sight you could ever see. At the very top of Pikes Peak they have a donut shop that's FABULOUS!!!

Andre - You can visit Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona EASILY in a trip a few weeks long. You could even include Yellowstone. I've done it three times.

Canada is stunning. Banff is gorgeous, but my favorite place in Canada is British Colombia.

Canada has gorgeous national parks in the Rockies that I still haven't had the pleasure of visiting. I have crossed the Andes, though.

I live just south the 2nd O in Colorado (at 3:23). My backyard are three of the Fourteeners. Seven!

The Rockies are beautiful. I’ve been skiing there many times. West of the Rockies, towards the west coast and Pacific Northwest there are more mountain ranges. The Coast Range, the Cascades and the Sierra Nevada. All equally as beautiful.

Arguably, an extension of that chain also extends into Alaska.

It extends down into Mexico, and with a few breaks, all of the way down to the southern tip of South America. It has different names in different places, Rocky Mts. in some places, Andes in other places, but it is pretty much all the same. The tallest mountains are in the US are in Alaska.

7! Also, the Rockies are all in America, as in North America. As a culture, we in the U.S. love Canada like one loves their sibling. We don't agree on everything, but we have one another’s backs when it counts and get along most of the time just fine.

7. I've lived in Denver, Colorado for the last 12 years. Moved from New Jersey where my property taxes were $24,000 per year on a 7,200 sq/ft home on 1.2 acres of land. Home in Denver was valued at $435,000 when we bought it and is valued between $900,000 and $1 million now. Colorado property taxes for a .33 acre lot and the home are about $7,200 per year. There was a real estate spike that is just starting to come back down and stabilize again, so it is slightly more reasonable to buy a home now, but is usually in the top 10 most expensive States to live. The nicer the weather, scenery and job market are, the pricier the land, taxes and houses. The cheaper the land, the less you would really want to live there (lived in Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, New York, New Jersey and Louisiana) and I promise this is my favorite State I've lived in, by far. It is really tough to be unhappy looking out over the foothills with the snow capped peaks looming in the background.

Driving from Wyoming to Utah i didnt consciously think about being in the thought Rockies, i was too busy looking around.

the only difference between the two countries in this sense is an artificial border drawn at a certain latitude.

You really should react to a video on Teddy Roosevelt and some of those explorers. Its unbelievable how they traversed the entire continent with no roads, not even trails. They had no maps. Its truly amazing!!

My neighborhood growing up was called “Heavenly Heights”. I grew up on Alps Road, my best friend grew up on Mt. Everest, my boyfriend grew up on Rocky Mt. Road, and my grandparents grew up on Mt. Holyoke!

Parts of Canada is so beautiful that it takes your breath away. The biggest difference is, other than population, the states are much more commercial. The rockies creates a wall so moisture from the Pacific ocean cannot reach the plains. So middle America is farmland.

I lived and worked in Colorado for 35 years and moved out to Wyoming to retire. To many people in Colorado have made it very crowded and yes very expensive to live. I found life good in both states. Wyoming less people and a lot less expensive. Wyoming has the same type landscape ,and Yellowstone national park. Wyoming is everything Colorado is except less expensive. Come and experience it for your self.

Parts of Colorado are very expensive

Western Canada is especially beautiful. The Banff Park / Lake Louise area is as stunning as anywhere in the Rockies. And I live between Yellowstone and Glacier parks so I am familiar with the mountains.

7 Colorado is so beautiful. Our State is stunning. We have 58 Fourteeners (14ers) in our state. The peaks have to be over 14,000 feet to qualify as a 14er. One of the most famous is Pikes Peak, America’s Mountain, 14,115 feet. In 1893 Katharine Lee Bates was completely captivated when she first saw Pikes Peak. She penned our wonderful song “America The Beautiful.” There are a group of mountaineers called the AdAmAn Club. It was formed in 1922. You can read about it, so fascinating. On December 30-31st of each year they climb the snowy and icy mountain to the top of Pikes Peak. It is windswept and treacherous. The windchill can feel like -50 degrees. At Midnight every New Year’s Eve, they present the most marvelous and wondrous fireworks display from the peak. I am in complete awe every time I watch it. From the top of Pikes Peak, on a clear day, you can see Wyoming, Nebraska, New Mexico, Kansas, and Oklahoma. Also the curvature of the earth fading into the distance.

Go out onto the Utah Salt Flats and walk for a distance. You might discover how small you are on this planet.

"Well, ok, this is not good news my American friends!!! 😆 I love it!!! ❤️

7! Northern Californian here. Enjoyed this video and definitely learned some things. So interesting…thank you Andre!

Love your videos. You speak so kindly of America and I appreciate that so much! I’d love to go to Europe someday!

Aslo fun fact az especially phx used to be a sea bed. I loved finding shark teeth and shell in the desert they a dime a dozen here

7! Lived in Colorado for 30 years, and it still gives me such awe every day, you never get sick of it

I love Yellowstone National Park, and would love to learn more about it's history. #7.

Canada is beautiful but cold. And your right they do not have the diversity we have. Canada is like a sister country. We love them. They are our sisters and brothers. They are more reserved and known for their politeness. Where we Americans are wild and outspoken.. All in all both countries host the friendliest people in the world.

colorado is absolutly stunning it has incredible scenery

I'm happy you pause to talk about some of these facts Andre. It's a refresh for me too. Geography isnt my best subject. But I like to re-learn with your content. I hope to see a vlog with you here in America eventually.

I'm from the East Coast so most of the hiking I've done is around the Appalachian Trail. One summer I was fortunate enough to be visiting a friend who lived near denver. We drove a few hours towards the Vail area to hike a trail to Fancy Pass. It was amazing! At a certain point the trees disappeared and all vegetation ended. It was the middle of summer and I was hiking through snow in shorts and a t-shirt. I was in really good shape at the time so I had no trouble breathing in the thin air. In fact I felt no different than being at sea level. But at the very end, while walking back towards the car, I felt the beginning of a headache. It was the worst headache I've ever had. For the next several hours all I could do was lay down and close my eyes. It was totally worth it though. I would do it again if I had the chance.

Crossed the Canadian Rocky Mountains while on the Alaska Highway, traveling from Fairbanks to the Lower 48. It was slow going due to the Big Horn sheep (or maybe they were Dall sheep??) that were walking down the two-lane road, taking their sweet time, lol. Gave us time to enjoy viewing the herd of Forest Buffalo that was bedded down in a small meadow alongside the road. Beautiful country! 7777 please!

One thing he was wrong about is saying that a raindrop falling in this area will only go into the Pacific or the Atlantic. In Canada, it also has a chance of eventually going into the Arctic Ocean via the McKenzie River System.

When I went to Northern California (from the ocean all the way to Tahoe), every lookout point was spectacular!!! We hiked through the redwoods and explored the beaches it was unforgettable!!!

Depends on where you wanna live in Colorado. I got very lucky being born here.

7 We are US citizens who retired Five years ago, bought a large motorhome, sold everything and hit the road. We like to boondock a lot, which is camping for free on government land in some of the most beautiful places imaginable. A few years ago, we explored the mighty 5 National Parks in southern Utah for 5 months not spending a dime on campgrounds or RV parks, camping just outside of 5 national parks and dozens of state parks. I think Utah is the state with the most natural beauty, but Colorado is not far behind. The following year we did the same in Colorado, spending 5 months traveling all around the state like a tourist. Our biggest expenses are food and fuel - both of which are controllable. We live like the rich and famous going where we like and doing what we want, on our meager social security checks and a small pension as this lifestyle is very affordable. We see many Europeans on our travels who are touring the country in rental RVs having the time of their lives and doing so affordably too. You should give it a try. It sounds like you'd love it.

That was a great video! I learned quite a lot. I would like to see the Yellowstone video. 7 ❤️🤗🐝

Colorado isn't as expensive as the coastal states, but it's very expensive for middle America. The ski resorts and overall beauty of the wilderness attract tons of tourism, so a lot of towns are expensive to live in.

You can think of it as the structure that constitutes the eastern edge of the "ring of fire", it runs almost from pole to pole.

I used to live in Colorado and I've submitted 15 different 4,000 meter peaks! It's beautiful and challenging! 7!!!!!

Yellowstone March 1872 became a national US Park

I'm from Colorado, depending on. What part of the state you live in can be very expensive mainly the front range

I loved growing up in the Rocky Mountains. Yellowstone is a very interesting place too! 7

Canada and the United States have been the same country a number of times. Native American nations like the Huron in Michigan (part of the US) having the main Huron population in Ontario (part of Canada), and the northwest coast tribes like the Tlingit, Haida, and the Chinook who all span from Washington state (USA) up into British Columbia (Canada), and into Alaska (USA again): and they all still see Canada and The USA as a combined land with No Borders. So Canada is very much like the northern most part of the United States, as Mexico is very much like the southwestern most part of the United States - thus the name "North America", which is officially a combination of Canada, the USA, and Mexico: with all 3 nations making ONE LAND.

We interrupt this Broadcast to highlight one of the Bitch'ness Tornadoes I've ever witnessed and I've have SEEN some of the worst, this just happened recent in Iowa, It Is Wicked. Sorry about the off subject but you need to see this. "Reed Timer "The most incredible tornado video ever Captured", and I can't say anything contrary to that. I've never seen a multiple vortex system that was as tight as it was, Incredible (I guess you kinda have to be a Tornado Nerd to really appreciate it)

7! I love these kinds of videos. The only bad thing about this one is that it was too short.

7 we love Canada

Yes Andre, react to the history of Yellowstone! #7

"I ain't never seen 'em, but my common sense tells me the Andes is foothills, and the Alps is for children to climb! Keep good care of your hair! These here is God's finest scupturings! And there ain't no laws for the brave ones!" - Del Gue speaking of the Rockies in Jeremiah Johnson

Colorado can be quite expensive to live and visit, depending on the area. If you ever make it here, avoid staying in the expensive resort towns like Aspen and Vail. Fun to visit, but painful on the wallet.

7, 7, 7, 7, yessss please

Yes especially if you stay in winslow az the four conors can do az,utah, Colorado new mexico from there in a couple of days

Canada is GORGEOUS!....but 98% of it is uninhabited. There's a million places you can only reach by plane and wouldn't have anyone near you for 2k miles in any direction(I'm exaggerating for illustration, but barely). Really, the only problem with Canada is the COLD! Yes it gets hot, but after that 30 minutes passes, it's cold.

Canada and the United States both have stunning natural beauty. However, the he U.S. does enjoy more diverse climatic regions. Yes, those photos are actual scenes of Banff Canada. 7.

7 so says Austin Tx!!!! 😎🍸

The Super Volcano is Yellowstone.

The Denver metro area is expensive, smaller cities' metro areas and small towns, particularly an the western slope are more reasonable, but your farther from amenities

And Utah has close to 35 peaks over 13000 feet.

I’ve been to Yellowstone 3 times. I see something different every time I go!!! If you come to America, it’s definitely a place you want to see! We are headed to Italy in November. Any suggestions?

Iam in az and we have the Southern rocky mountain here great skiing in Flagstaff az as a matter of fact they have to shut down grand canyon because of snow in about late dec jan

John Denver was from New Mexico

Canada is in America Continent. And Take me Home is about the Appalachian mountains in West Virginia.

Fun fact Canada’s population is only 8 million more than Texas population, Canada only has 38 million people while Texas has 30 million Thats why I think we should just annex Canada 😂.

7 for sure

Hey Andre 😊I enjoy your reactions very much! I remember you sayin you liked John Denver..have you listened to Rocky Mountain High ?

Want a old school pioneer story about the Rocky Mountains look up the Donner Party

7 I'd be curious about your reaction to Yellowstone haha, I grew up in the park.

7, love your curiosity ❤

7 definitely

7, I love this kind of stuff

Western Colorado is beautiful, east of the Rockies it's extremely flat and featureless.

I've lived in the Rockies in Colorado and Montana. I much prefer Montana's Rockies. It's less populated and for me the better living option. Although, it does include some of the most gorgeous state and national parks including Yellowstone and Glacier Parks. You can take wilderness backpacking trips in the Bob Marshall Wilderness, which is no less stunning than Yellowstone. Which is far less crowded than anything in Colorado and other national parks. You can see Montana's Rockies here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c7XYzOd8R0I.html

Az a sweet state got best of two worlds mild winter 2 hours drive snow 4 hours away snow broading and skiing

Western Colorado is beautiful, but don’t discount Utah, which only comes behind California and Alaska in the number of state and federal parks and monuments. Utah also has more diversity than Colorado since we have the mountains with all of the winter sports, but also the desert, the arches, the hoodoos, the Salt Flats.

My bias opinion is that all of the Americas is the most beautiful on earth South amreica and North America

Cananda is the 51st state, Just don't tell them that ALSO..... Seven

Narrator: The “continuous” U.S. lol. That’s “contiguous” U.S or also known as the “lower 48” states. Excluding Alaska and Hawaii.

7! Definately 7!

7, yes

Colorado's nick name is The Rocky Mountain State, so your assumption is understandable.

Canada COLD

Is Colorado expensive? Yes and no. Stay out of the cities and ski resorts and it isn't too bad. I live cheap in a little town in the middle of nowhere. Just live where most people don't want to.

7!-7!!-7!!!!

7 do it!

If you love mountains, nature, hunting, fishing, and living 'off the grid (being invisible to the government), then Colorado will bring you joy. Texas is very different. It is not a beautiful. It is even a bit barren, like a desert. You are on the grid in Texas. It is a conservative, republican, evangelical Christian state, so if you are not all of those things, you will not Fit-in in Texas. Yes, Texas offers friendly people & good BBQ, but it demands a chunk of your soul to live there. For me, the most balanced state for natural beauty, friendly people, great weather, politics that leave you alone, great food, ethnic cultures, and an abundance of opportunities for making money, or making friends, or gaining great experiences, That state is California.

Andre, if you are interested in learning more about USA geology, the channel by *_"Myron Cook"_* is an EXCELLENT resource. he has a very relaxed and visual style of presenting the information.

Colorado is beautiful but is over hyped. The whole Rocky Mountain range is gorgeous. Search Sawtooth Mountains, White Cloud Mountains, Bitterroot Mountains, Cabinet Mountains, Glacier Nat. Park, Lake Louise, Banf Nat Park. Utah is visually stunning, maybe the most Nat Parks of any state. The whole of Idaho and western Montana should be Nat Parks.

Come on over you will love it❤❤

7!

You are 7 kinds of crazy, but you should also watch The History of Yellowstone! 😝

I left a likeah

7

That's totally a British Indian guy talkin

Colorado is more beautiful in my opinion Utah is more desert ill still take South Carolina where i live ober anywhere else go to our beaches youll see

Where did the narrator learn English, or at least as it is spoken where I have traveled? Lots of strangeness here!

7😊

Andre Yellowstone will blow but it will probably be after rapture during 7 year tribulation
