    Thanks for posting these on Mondays, you make the start of the work week suck less.
  • I'm an old man now but I was born and raised in Colorado. I've lived here all my life and I've never seen all of Colorado I want to see. I love the ocean but I will never leave the mountains. I don't have to tread water here. I lived most of my life in the Sangre de Cristo mountains on the front range but they are shallow compared to the San Juan mountains. At every turn there is a post card vista. I now live in the San Luis Valley which is considered a desert even though the elevation is above 7500 feet and all the front range cities never cease to attempt to get their hands on the water here to feed their never ending desire for growth.

    These mountains, scenery, and history are amazing. Can’t stop smiling as I watch.
  • The most beautiful pass in all of Colorado, Red Mountain Pass. My favorite place to be is Ouray. Take the jeep trip to the top of top of Red Mountain for an awesome experience. My first experience on the Million Dollar Highway was back as far as the 1950's, it was even more beautiful and more dangerous than it is now as the highway was more narrow. My last trip was in 2015, I took my Grandson up to see where his Pappy and I spent so many happy times. I really enjoyed your video, it brought back lots of sweet memories, Thank you,
