Tristan Congrats on passing 200K subscribers you are the hardest working content producer on RU-vid. Well deserved

@SUVRVing Месяц назад

Thank you!

@pcatful Месяц назад

Add to that! These are the greatest videos! Always something fascinating and always full of good information and knowledgeable insight!

@darrylk808 Месяц назад

Tristan, you always go to interesting locations that I never knew existed. I've driven all over the US, and when you show the locations, I see that I've driven near them but never knew. Gotta stop to smell the roses. I'm glad you're doing these videos.

@barbaramadson3538 Месяц назад

I camped at Great Sand Dunes NP a few years ago and had no idea this spiritual area existed. Thanks for sharing! Love your content!

@IFSTherapist Месяц назад

Thank you so much for this. Very very familiar with Crestone. Used to live in Boulder for 14 years. My heart is aching. Midwest. has not been the right place for my soul the past 17 yrs. Right for other reasons, but that time is past now and it is time to go home. Thank you so much for the reminder. Really appreciate all the work you did to make this video. Many Blessings to you!

A terrific Saturday morning trek. Thanks again for bringing us along, and for the info. Safe travels, young man.

@deborahm6036 Месяц назад

What an amazing video! I truly delighted in it. I spent 10 days in the San Louis Valley, and visited the mountains, falls, and sand dunes. I had no idea any of what you shared was so close to where I stayed. Truly special! I would have loved to have visited all the places you shared. Thank you for letting more people about these hidden gems.

@dr.maturin4648 Месяц назад

Fascinating! The incredible journey of the first Europeans to travel from what is now Florida through the Southwest and back to Mexico City, mostly on foot starting in 1528 is an epic adventure rarely taught in schools. A good book on the subject is "A Land So Strange" by Andres Resendez. But I did not know that the King of Spain had made this land grant to the descendants of the expedition leader: Anvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca. Thanks for another great episode!

@Rexodus014 Месяц назад

Thank you so much, Tristan for sharing and explaining your visits to those beautiful stupas, shrines and temple. Absolutely interesting and wonderful. Thank you for including those in your travels.

@Lois5650 Месяц назад

Loved this! Have visited the area numerous times but didn’t explore as deeply as you did. Learning the history is a bonus. Can’t wait to go back now! Thanks ☺️

@grandwest11 Месяц назад

Wish I'd of run into you while you were where I live. Well done video explaining this area to your viewers. I would like to mention that the people who want to form a town here are people who do not appreciate a POA/HOA and want to do whatever they want to and not have to honor covenants, adhere to building guide lines or pay annual dues. Most of the people that live in the Baca Grande moved here because there is a POA/HOA.We do not want a town formed. It's a very small minority of deadbeat residents that want to form a town thinking the POA will magically disappear leaving them free to trash this place like so many other places in this very poor but beautiful county.

@sharondavis8003 Месяц назад

Another super Tristan Trip where you show us the most unusual & fascinating places that no one knows about. Loved your hike along the water & was just wondering how long your footprints will stay in the snow🤔. ❤👍🏻🙋🏼‍♀️

@kazheadrest3626 Месяц назад

Really nice video. In the late 80's a very good friend of mine moved to Crestone from Corrales NM. He is an artist and built an amazing free form home there. It was interesting to see the community and learn about the history spiritual significance of the area. Thank you.

@warnerknobe7911 Месяц назад

Tristan, I’m a fan for life! Your videos are well researched and planned and never fail to entertain and educate. Having lived in Colorado in the 70’s and 80’s I’ve been to virtually all the spots you’ve shown us. You do a great job of presenting things as they are!

@rosettathompson2283 Месяц назад

What an absolutely fascinating video! My list of "must see" places grows longer with each week's adventures. Thank you Tristan! ❤

@SUVRVing Месяц назад

Thanks! This really is a fascinating place. I'm glad you enjoyed it 😁

@lorisposato1662 Месяц назад

Thank you Tristan. I enjoy the scenic locations, tips on car camping, and background historical and/or geological knowledge you share in your videos. This is what keeps me watching! This morning, this Coloradan, elementary Colorado history teacher, car camping mamma learned even more about the San Luis Valley through you and your content. In late March was my most recent visit to the valley & Sand Dunes. I plan on returning soon when Medano Creek starts flowing! I had not realized there were so many spiritual & religious sites. I look forward to visiting those as well. Along with a gorgeous hike to stretch my legs too! But Tristan, shhhhh, don't give away too much about our beauty and little gems...... it's really crowded here come lovely weather time!

@lindajcope Месяц назад

I enjoyed this video and also learned a lot. I had no idea that all this existed. Love how you change things up and give us so much information. I am of the age where I can't travel to these places and I appreciate learning about this big country of ours. Your videos are always very informative and fun. Keep up the great work of bringing them to us.

@ChrisWorksCreative 29 дней назад

Love the San Luis Valley. It was a trip to visit Great Sand Dunes and Salida that ended up inspiring my move to Colorado back in 2016. I've since moved on from Colorado, but it holds a special place it my heart and continues to inspire me to this day. I never knew about the spiritual monuments near Crestone. Another reason for me to come back for another visit. The Sangre de Cristo range is beautiful as are the San Juans.

@jessiehead6525 26 дней назад

So fun to see your footage of a place I lived for 8 years. Thanks! I miss being so close to the ceeeks & trails. I hope you got to see Medano Creek do its cool surge thing in Great Sand Dunes NP.. You got the spring winds, but you were lucky to miss mosquito season.

Thanks so much for that video Tristan! Love it so much, it reminded me of a similar place I visited in Sedona, Arizona last year. The sensation of self awareness in a place so quiet, peaceful and with a feeling of mystical energy is so mind blowing! Definitely I'm planning to visit that place and spend a week or so there to recharge my spiritual batteries! 🙌🙌🙌 😊😊😊!!! Many blessings to you and your lovely wife and keep up with the great work you're doing with your videos. I'm always looking forward to see them. ❤❤❤

Having built a home and lived in the Baca for 14 years (my wife and I have since moved on to Northwest Arkasas, where we live on a beautiful lake), I can vouch for the magic of this place. Thanks for visiting it and sharing a bit of its unique charm. P.S My house was only a couple of hundred yards from the Padmasambhava Stupa. I love your videos. Being 77 years old, I am only doing 3-5 mile hikes these days, so I appreciate getting to piggyback on your longer hikes. Thank you!

The San Luis Valley is also a hot spot of UFO / UAP activity. It is the area of the first documented animal mutilation case when "Snippy" the horse was found dead with strange laser like incisions and parts removed. There's a great book that researches many accounts of weirdness there called "Mysterious Valley" by Christopher O'Brien. Look into it, very fascinating!

It's such a beautiful area, but will always give me flashbacks of a time I got my van stuck in the BLM area in Crestone and had a nine hour recovery lol. But, multiple people from the town came to help, and as bad of a situation I had put myself into, the people there are absolutely magnificent. Great video as always, and congrats on 200K!!

@davidpankoke7512 Месяц назад

San Luis Valley always seem to amaze me. I came across it about 8 years ago and have been back about 4 times always learning a little more. There are actually quite a few things in this valley that most don't know about, from alligators, the Great Sand Dunes, UFOs and tales of witches. It is intriguing that on the opposite side of the valley is the San Juan Catholic Spiritual Center with its Rosary Walk and Penitente Canyon with the painting on the rock wall of the "Virgin of Guadalup" (which I just found was recently repainted). Thank you again for helping to enlighten my future adventures.

It was a great eclectic view of a dedicated area! I am not a "religious" person, but I enjoyed the presentation as I am somewhat spiritual in nature. (As we all are in some way!) It was certainly different from your "normal" tours, but that is one of the reasons I enjoy watching your productions. As always, balanced and interesting with some great history information. I am so glad you chose this as your line of work. It truly allows your viewers to dream, assess, and lan adventures they otherwise would have no idea existed. This will not necessarily be one for the bucket list, but you have surely expanded mine on several occasions! Thanks for Your Work!

You seem to always hit it home with me with your explorations at the right time showing me things that I would love to visit because I had a dream last night of that place which I don't understand but just figure it's a God Thing which I have experienced a lot and not sure what the meaning is so I have to meditate and pray for understanding and direction. I always love your videos and educational presentations. The world needs more people like you
