Finally a continuous ride without frame changing every 2 seconds, with no music, just the engine. Also, the view is stunning. Congratulations!

Liked and subscribed. No stupid music, no talking, just driving through miles and miles of gorgeous scenery. Thank you so much for what you do! And stopping the overlook for us was so thoughtful and lovely. What a gem you are! ❤❤❤

A lovely reminder of why Colorado is the best. A beautiful production!

I am trying to imagine what it must have been like for the early explorers that were heading toward california as part of a wagon train and seeing such beautiful scenery for the first time in their life after growing up on the East Coast...? absolutely phenomenal!! Thank You

[donnaterrell]

Loved the video! I'm a native of Colorado, moved to California to be close to grandkids, MISS Colorado so much, happy to see your video. Thank you!

Visited my daughter this June and we took that drive. It was incredible! I am from the Texas Gulf Coast and was amazed to see Pelicans in Grand Lake....thought I was seeing things. I looked it up and sure enough, it is on their migrattoy path and a breeding ground for them! Beautiful drive, STUNNING views!

One of my favorite spots to vacation. I've been on this road numerous times and it never gets old to me. Plan to visit it again next week.

That's a really nice and peaceful looking video. Professionally done, no time-lapse, no radio, no narration, just the soothing sound of the engine. You are the best, and big like for you.

[davidborrink]

You know, I think your opening effect is one of the coolest ways to start a video and it just works so well with your subject matter.

I love this. Driving mountain roads is always my favorite part of any trip. Slow down a bit and enjoy the view. 🌲🌳

Beautiful hilly car ride. With exceptional views. Thanks for the beauty.

This drive will always remind me of my grandma. She lived in Longmont and had a lifetime pass to Rocky Mountain National Park. When I'd visit we would regularly spend the day driving a big loop from Longmont to Estes then take 34/Trail Ridge Road all the way to Granby, head down to Highway 70 with the final leg of the trip being whichever route was easiest to get back to Longmont. Sometimes we'd go on that drive two or three days in a row but always at least once per visit. It never got old but we did. Life goes by so fast. She's gone now but some of her ashes rest along those roads and next to a stream at my aunt's family's cabin just outside of Empire. To know she will always be part of one of nature's grandest creations is the most comforting thing I can imagine.

Co extremely beautiful state and so much place to explore, Rocky mountain, garden of gods, ton of beautiful lil towns, so sad i never will be there to see everything with my own eyes. To me Co is best state to visit and live if you are looking for beautiful nature and peaceful place..

The one thing I love about living in Kansas, is that every time I see mountains, they always impress me :)

[parabellum]

I will be trekking through Colorado and Utah this July and will be sure to follow this route. Thank you.

[lindahollingsworth]

Wow! It's so clear; we drove this multiple times when we lived in Boulder. Thank you so much!
