Hey Russ I swear about 20 minutes earlier watching your Highway 50 through Colorado video I said to myself I wonder if you would ever install a side camera on your van no sooner had I continued to listen you mentioned how you said I guess I'll have to install a side camera on my van haha. It's like you're reading my mind over here in Oregon what a great video this has been

I drove over Monarch Pass three years ago. It had just started snowing and signs said to put on chains but nobody did. A big rig jackknifed. I saw my first mountain goat right beside the road. A real wild road trip. Be prepared.

I was born in Canon City (pronounced Canyon). The Royal Gorge bridge is home turf. I have walked across it before it was anchored to the canyon walls when it really swayed. I rode my Harley across the bridge in2006. I took the train through the gorge in 2022, then took the helicopter tour over it later that day. My grandfather died in an avalanche on Monarch Pass in 1953.

I went rafting down the Arkansas River in the exact area that you made videos of. It was great but I got sunburned really bad. It was worth it nonetheless! FYI - general admission tickets are $ 29.00 if purchased online.

Seeing that big wide main street in Gunnison reminded me of a little town I lived in for a while as a youngster. The town of Oamaru New Zealand dated from the mid 1800s and the main streets in those days were made wide enough for a Bullock Train to be able to turn around. Then I saw the NZ flag in the car section of the museum...

Hey Russ, happy Sunday! I drove that route several years back, it's really nice to re-visit it with you. Everything is so nice and green! One really cool spot in Montrose is the Museum of the Mountain West. Besides having a great collection of artifacts, they also have a bunch of historical building that they relocated from around the area. And as you found out, the Pioneer Museum in Gunnison is just fantastic. FYI, the West Elk Loop is really a terrific drive, especially in the fall when the colors are popping. (It's very twisty though, so I don't know how much fun it would be in the van) I'm guessing right about now you're out searching for wildflowers. Looking forward to seeing what you find in the coming episodes. Happy Trails!

@startingnew2024 2 месяца назад

Google says this bridge is 955' and New River Gorge is 876.' Only a 79 foot height difference. The Royal Gorge has nice landscapes but, the New River Gorge landscape is just breathtaking. For those of you that have never been on or across it, know that it is a part of U.S 19. The first time I went across it, the only way I knew it was because, the only thing I could see was the road in front and sky. I've been across it in a car and smaller suv and tried to see trees or something, nope. I don't take anything away from Royal Gorge but, if I could only experience one or the other, it would be New River. From the overlook, which should be called the underlook, which is about 600' higher than the river, you look up and see this dark menacing structure almost 300' feet higher than where you're standing, seemingly growing out of all this greenery. Its just a mystical setting.

My favorite drive in Colorado is the drive from Interstate 70 up to the top of Mt.Evans. I have not yet tried a similar high altitude road up to Pikes Peak but the Mt. Evans route is not open year round & since I was on it last one has to register ahead of time due to the high volume of traffic, I presume. Also the Mt. Evans highway is seasonal & only open (above Summit Lake) between Memorial & Labor Day. At least this was the case some 14 years ago but times have changed even the name, which is new to me.

@jimp.7286 2 месяца назад

Definitely a bucket-list destination. You pick all the kinds of places I'd want to see Russ. No interest in cities. As @akgobears mentions below however,..the mountain passes have me wondering about the state as I haven't been there since I was little and don't remember it. Our little toyota rv doesn't care for long mountain passes much. It's not just the lack of power - it's the overheating. Lots of mountain passes out west along with hot days. To be honest, it's taken some of the fun out of rv'ing for us in the past. Not buying another motor! Super bloom! Blooming on the west coast has begun. No poppies just yet but just spotted lupin along hwy 1. Mountain-biked through lavender colored chaparral terrain yesterday, (buck brush and blue blossom/california lilac ),. Got wet in spotty rain. In fact it rained off/on all night and this morning. More to come later in week. Not sure if it'll hit the desert. Another good one. Cheers. 👍
