I remember Glenwood Canyon as a kid in the late 50's and 60's, the 2 lane road before the Interstate was built, Glenwood Springs was such a small town and Vail didn't exist, it was just a ranch before the early 60's. In the 70's things started changing fast but it was a wonderful ride on motorcycles, now all the good open spaces are developed and pretty much gone, it's still a beautiful canyon but nothing like the Colorado of over a half century ago. Your "through the truck's windshield" video is a pleasure to watch as I'm pretty much a home boy nowadays, Thank You for your efforts.
I watch several driving channels, but you're the best. Excellent photography and magnificent views. Needs a little more fishing, but that's the cherry on top for me. Keep up the good work, we appreciate it.
The mountain man is back! You're awesome brother, Praying shoulders feeling better-thanks for inviting us on your videos 👍👍👍💪💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸let us know how you're feeling 🙏🏼
Been many year’s that I’ve driven through that canyon! Last time I went through it was 1997. Loved blasting through that canyon back in the 70’s when it was two lane, did it so many times I lost count. Beautiful drive, but the four lane takes away a lot of its beauty.
Thank you for letting us ride along with You. I've always wanted to go out west and ride through the mountains. Don't know if I will ever have the finances to do so. Thanks to you I've got to see places I may never get to see in person. Thanks again, safe travels and God bless.
You're showing me places I'll never get to see. Too old and sick to travel. Thank you so much. Please be careful. Now days if you have a pulse they'll give you a license. PEACE.
I'm from Aurora, Colorado (near Denver), and I really appreciate this video. I missed seeing the beautiful mountains. I'll have to go for a drive soon. These fires were horrible
Thanks for taking me along and giving me a chance to see some beautiful scenery even if some of it was burnt. I am so tired of being of being couped up this summer and having to look out my windows.
I believe about the 13:00 mark is where the fire started, from video a river guide took when it was really small and between the two levels of highway. Thanks for sharing this; some of us Front Rangers haven’t had the chance to get out there yet. It’s good to see it’s not as bad as it could have been.
Hi Mike, been a minute since we rode. How are you doing? Pain level under control? Something I’ve been wanting to ask you. Does your company support your activities in so far as the riding shotgun program is concerned? I thought that maybe the drop off in videos was created because of some issue the company may have had with them? I hope not because you provide a valuable information service to all of us and we look forward to seeing every video. The fire did considerable damage to the hillside. Hope there isn’t enough loss of tree growth to cause future problems with land slides and other issues. In any event I’m enjoying this one and await future rides. Hope your along with your recovery and on the road to painlessness. Be safe till next trip , thank you. Edward
Hi.Be safe out there. That is a beautiful view love the mountain's. Looks like a good spot to go fishing I'm ready to go I'll grab my pole and let's go. I'm a country girl
Thanks for the video through Glenwood Canyon. It's always hard to figure what things look like from news reports. I'm glad you're back to posting videos. Take care.
Thanks for posting this. Beautiful scenery - now I want to plan a trip out to that area. Been to Vail in 1975 so another visit to those cities between Denver and grand junction off I-70 is ow on the bucket list. Safe travels.
It was just a 2 lane highway following the river when I started working on it. Beautiful drive, but it would be hell trying to drive it like that now, with all the traffic.
I drove that road so many times, we came back to Texas but my heart is in the rockies. So sad to see the damage done by the fire, but I witnessed other fires on the area and I saw how that country can be so resilient and come back to life.
Hey, Granby, Colorado. My sister and I drove through your town in 2018 on our way east. We drove that incredible road through Rocky Mountain National Park. Unforgettable. Love your road trip videos. Best
Amazing ride through the canyon. Tragic about the fires, the unburnt sections give flavour of how used to be. Ignoring the fire damage though, those rock faces just awesome.
Traveled this highway for the first time a month prior to your video. Came back east a different route or we would have needed to detour due to this fire. Thanks for sharing,,, love seeing your travels.
When I watch your videos, actually I move from my couch to your passenger seat and watch the road as I am your assistant, and when you're telling stories I listen as if you're talking to me. It's funny. I do really enjoy the rides with you, one more thing I enjoy your driving skills because it's similar pattern to mine. You are strong hearted and master in assessments. God be with you.
Hi Mike, I'm new to your channel and I gotta tell ya, I now want to drive through Colorado! Its so beautiful. Thank you, thank you for letting me ride shotgun with ya. Be safe
Hi Mike so nice to see your ok got a worried about your health still nice to be riding along with you and to enjoy those views thank you so much cheers mate Jim from new Zealand
Hey Mike, figured you would video the canyon. Not as bad as i thought but still burning away north and south. Glad the canyon is back open. They shut off the concrete paving on 13 while the canyon was closed, but still traffic through Meeker was alot more. I understood 40 was a zoo from Kremmling all the way to Craig. Wonder how bad 50 was. Anyway i'll be traveling back to Denver next week for Labor Day and will get to see. Maybe i'll see the chicken on my ride back and forth. Keep truckin and video'n we all love it!!! Be safe.
So glad to have you back, & get out to ride through the canyon see some of the fire damages, listen to you talk. Hope you continue to feel better. Peace always be unto you as well.
Hi Mountain Man Mike. Glad to see you are still trucking. I thought I smelled smoke when you went by the burnt area then I remembered I had my window open in the room I was in. The smell came from outside.
Good to see I70 is back open! That's great to hear hanging lake is ok! I have been up there many times! You ever hear of the burning mountain story? It's a good one!
An advantage to my old age is remembering the road thru the canyon being 2-lane, some still dirt. It was a hippie paradise to park by the water and enjoy some herb as the day and world passed by sloowly.
Nice to see your video thru the canyon. I used to run thru there for ten years going from Grand Junction to Denver 5 to 6 nights a week running line for RAC.
Hello Mike! Hope all is well with you and your family. Such a shame about the fires. The scenery is so majestic. Hate to see it damaged. Bless you my friend. PEACE!
This a pretty route and has made me eager for our December road trip... our ongoing lockdown here in South Africa has given us cabin fever. Be safe out there.
@@spikespa5208 It depends what they're doing. I-70 is completely worn out almost all the way to Denver. It hasn't had much attention since I was a teenager and I'm about ready to retire!
@@TheBandit7613 That's because it's the only east-west interstate route through the rockies in Colorado. If not I-70, it's I-40 in New Mexico or I-80 through Wyoming. HUGE number of trucks beating the hell out of the interstate. Too much traffic, and too few dollars in this poorly governed state to keep up with mantenance of the roads here.
Storm King Mountain fire (South Canyon Fire) west of Glenwood Springs occured in July 1994 and killed 14 firefighters who tried to outrun a fast fire rising up Storm King Mountain, on the slope that faces i-70. Now there is a memorial park and mountain hiking trails you can take to the sites of the fallen firefighters.
Wow thank you for uploading this. I was planning on going to Glenwood Springs and sadly my plans have changed. We had also just went thru the Glenwood Cayon July 28th! Again thanks for the post
Hey, so glad to see you back, hope you found out what the pain as been.you were supposed to go see your doctor. Sending you lots of good thoughts and prayers. I had no idea that fire's where in Colorado still a beautiful place. Never had the chance to travel out there.as I've said I like setting in my easy chair being in the passenger seat while you drive,but I truly miss being in a truck seeing the country. Hey would you please stop hitting those bumps so hard.that I don't miss.lol. be safe out there in all this craziness. Until next time.
I know that there are a lot of fires in the mountains. Are there fires on the prairies. This looks like Glenwood Canyon. Didn’t realize you had fires that close to where you live. I take its the dried brush. Glad to see you back. Really enjoy you informative and relaxing secessions.
Depends on the state. In NH, 25 over is a felony. In VA, 20 over or above 80 MPH is a misdemeanor for reckless driving. However in NYS, it's 40 over before a license suspension when you consider demerit points, which only apply in state.
When are going to Rock Springs Wyoming again? I know your company delivers to us and our neighbors . I have ask many a driver if he was Mike Yes I get a lot of weird looks. But someday.ya never know. Happy trails. .
I remember Rabbit Ears well, hanging out the passenger door standing on the step-up telling the driver how close the truck was to the plow wall.he couldn't see anything straight ahead. Trying to get back to Denver.

Lots different now.

That was a really long tunnel. Thanks for the ride. Incredible scenery and mountains.

Even burned out in places, still darned nice scenery Mike - Thanks for having us along.
One of my favorite highway of all time! Thanks for posting. 😃

Great to see you back trucker, I missed your road trips.
You're showing me places I'll never get to see. Too old and sick to travel. Thank you so much. Please be careful. Now days if you have a pulse they'll give you a license. PEACE.
Awww 😕😕 poor you 😂 didnt you travel when you were young?
@@TubeBrowser2 i guess there are nasty trolls everywhere :(
The fire in south canyon 1994 on Storm King Mountain. 14 wildland firefighters died. Thanks for the tour !
I'm from Aurora, Colorado (near Denver), and I really appreciate this video. I missed seeing the beautiful mountains. I'll have to go for a drive soon. These fires were horrible
Roads and tunnels through those mountains always amaze me !!
Great ride through Glenwood Mike. Thanks so much. PEACE!
Thanks, Mike, for taking us along for the ride. You really do get to see some beautiful country.

Beautiful country. That was a long tunnel. Thanks for letting us ride along.
Awesome video. Beautiful country side and the road network is amazing!.
Love from a wet and cloudy but also beautiful Scotland.

New video !! Welcome back .... a beautiful day in the neighborhood !!! from southern Brazil ✌
Hello there beautiful ✌️
Hi.Be safe out there. That is a beautiful view love the mountain's. Looks like a good spot to go fishing I'm ready to go I'll grab my pole and let's go. I'm a country girl
Yayyyyy, you're back! Great scenery, thank you. Looking forward to more videos. Stay safe out there.
Thanks for the video through Glenwood Canyon. It's always hard to figure what things look like from news reports. I'm glad you're back to posting videos. Take care.
That's a long tunnel , Awesomely Beautiful

That highway is an engineering piece of art.
bestname ever the most expensive stretch of interstate in the country...worth preserving.
I spent 4 years in the canyon building bridges and walls from spring of '84 through the winter of '87. Incredible piece of engineering!
I loved Glenwood BRFORE, we picknicked by the river all the time, now you can not see it.
Mindy Ward Me too! All the little rafting companies on the river and the picnic pullouts...it was magical. 👋🏻😊
It was just a 2 lane highway following the river when I started working on it. Beautiful drive, but it would be hell trying to drive it like that now, with all the traffic.
Thanx ,my favorite therapy channel is back,I can escape all the BS in the world when I watch ,thanx again John from Huntington Beach
I drove that road so many times, we came back to Texas but my heart is in the rockies. So sad to see the damage done by the fire, but I witnessed other fires on the area and I saw how that country can be so resilient and come back to life.
Fire is a normal cycle of a forest. Clears underbrush and allows trees to reproduce.
Thanks for the update Mike. 👍✌️🇺🇸!!
Nice to hear your voice again! Love your videos
Welcome back bud we're you been we missed you 😊 y'all stay safe out there 👽
Two places to absolutely NOT go over the limit: School zones and Construction zones. Very nice ride through the canyon. This ride my favorite.
Hey, Granby, Colorado. My sister and I drove through your town in 2018 on our way east. We drove that incredible road through Rocky Mountain National Park. Unforgettable. Love your road trip videos. Best
Always good to have you back. You are loved out here in the world.
Good day Mike ,great ride thru the canyon ,did not see to much damage .Thanks for the ride an the up to date video of this area. 👍👍😊✌
Thanks for the ride Mike! I remember the Cosl Seam fire back in 2012.
Safe travels!
Amazing ride through the canyon. Tragic about the fires, the unburnt sections give flavour of how used to be. Ignoring the fire damage though, those rock faces just awesome.
great landscape. love from Austria

Hi Mountain Man Mike. Glad to see you are still trucking. I thought I smelled smoke when you went by the burnt area then I remembered I had my window open in the room I was in. The smell came from outside.
Thanks for the video. Family stomping grounds. Not as horrible as I expected. Will be there myself next week.
For a flat lander like me these visuals are absolutely astounding! Never been further west than Chicago
What a fantastic country scenery wise you live in. Glad your back, hope you stay back. Keep safe from the UK
Good to see I70 is back open!
That's great to hear hanging lake is ok! I have been up there many times!
You ever hear of the burning mountain story? It's a good one!
Its not nearly as bad as I thought itd be. So happy to see theres still plenty of trees and beauty in our Glenwood Canyon.
My ancestors come from the Craig, Rock Springs, Browns Park area. thanks for the ride.
Great to have you back. Do hope your pain is still a lot better.
Glad your back Mike. Thank you sir from the UK.
An advantage to my old age is remembering the road thru the canyon being 2-lane, some still dirt. It was a hippie paradise to park by the water and enjoy some herb as the day and world passed by sloowly.
From Minot North Dakota. Thanks for letting me ride shotgun. Awesome trip.
Al was like commentary and the scenery on the road keep it up thanks
Thanks for the view of the Canyon. I used to live up that way when I was younger have been wondering how everything is.
even burnt up, i'll never get over how beautiful Colorado is!
Thanks for the ride along beautiful ride! Hope you’re feeling better peace!!!
That homemade trailer may have been a tiny house.
Thanks for the ride-along.
Be Well & Safe
Thanks so much for doing this. The canyon isn’t as devastated as I’d feared. Drive safe!
Nice to see your video thru the canyon. I used to run thru there for ten years going from Grand Junction to Denver 5 to 6 nights a week running line for RAC.
Thanks for the road trip, really enjoy your trips, stay safe out there, have a good weekend

Thankyou for a wonderful ride. Love the video. ✌
Welcome back!! Love your videos,, Be safe! ,,
This a pretty route and has made me eager for our December road trip... our ongoing lockdown here in South Africa has given us cabin fever. Be safe out there.
I went to school in gypsum. Craig Bear was classmate, traveled this route all my life, sad to see Bear Ranch in ashes, God bless
that's was so nice road thru canyon I've ever seen...
Poor road conditions. Potholes and worn pavement.
Did you notice that it's being *repaired* ?
