@@kurtjohnson4816 I’m saying it’s not the most fun of a state, Like it’s city is not as good as others, the only thing we are known for is only the rocky mountains and skiing
Born and raised in Colorado, currently serving abroad in the Peace Corps. God, I miss home. Your videos make me feel like I'm not so far away. Even heard of some new spots I'll have to check out when I make my homecoming. Thanks. :)
The most beautiful place on earth...Colorado. I listened to John Denver sing about it when i was a teen, then I grew up and discovered Rocky Mountain National Park. Wonderful!
Nice video - The Flat Tops are my favorite - I agree with almost everything you said. Golden CO is a fun happy hour town and Vail has world class skiing and snowboarding.
You have done the best job of showing the best features of the best state or region of the world. Congratulations and thank you. There is one obscure bit of interest I haven’t seen on RUclips and that’s the two story outhouse in Crested Butte. If it is still there it can be seen when you walk down the back alley. Unfortunately there are (or were) no tours, but it is good for a laugh. All of you who have seen it, speak up! Thanks again for the best.
If you are ever back in that area go to Pagosa Springs. A lovely town with awesome hot springs and a couple of blocks of lovely shops to wander. A good place to live if you want Colorado living without loads of tourists and traffic.
In summer Vail has wild strawberries growing in the planters that you can snack on while you shop. The most beautiful blue spruce,great skiing. I would say skip Aspen and visit Vail. Colorado Native Pioneer 🍄🦬🌲I Love Lilly Lake.
awesome to start off with the paint mines, me and a buddy checked out colorado springs last year and on the way back we stopped there and was amazed, cant believe I never heard about it
Even though I live in one of the most beautiful places in the world these days, this vid makes me miss living in CO. My favorite places were Summit County, and the San Juans; and I still didn't get to explore them nearly enough. My fantasy is to buy an array of little mountain cabins across the state that I could do a yearly tour of, when the aspens are changing.

@@kevinstreeter6943 more recently I have been exploring the eastern side, and there are some neat areas.. or at least interesting... like some canyons, buttes, swimming holes, and places of historical interest
@@coloradonativeguide One interesting place I have been to is the remains of a Japanese-American internment site near the Kansas border. Nothing worth going out of your way for, but if you are in the area, stop by.
Thank you! Whenever we went on our week long trip to Colorado Vail was easily my least favorite place we stayed. Breckenridge is the coolest city I’ve ever been to. Hopefully I end up there some time in my life
Omg can't believe you mentioned Leadville that is awesome, I moved from Pennsylvania to Colorado and lived out there for about 4-5 months in Leadville I loved it and want to go back to CO so bad.
Thank you for sharing your video and all the information for the best & most beautiful places in Colorado. For me & my family are wanting to relocate to Colorado & finally leave one of the Worst states ever! This information is extremely helpful for us to determine what area of Colorado to live in and call home. Please keep sharing more videos & information in all areas in Colorado. Replies for suggestions from others are welcome also regarding this beautiful state, but please be respectful. Peace ✌🏼
Excellent footage of my beloved Colorado! I feel so lucky to live here!!! Native, born in Glenwood Springs & raised in Gypsum ❤️❤️❤️ Fantastic video 👏👏👏
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
I've never heard of "The paint mines" so I appreciate you putting it on my list! I'll have to make trip there and film it. Overall, fantastic list! Thanks for sharing it!
In Silverton it’s worth noting there is an experts only ski area there called Silverton Mountain. And, if you are in Silverton at the right times of day you might catch the Durango & Silverton narrow gauge railroad train come chugging into town. It’s a neat train to ride, too, if you have the time.
I often go to Durango, Colorado since this is the nearest where I live. My most unforgettable experience was the Million Dollar Highway where we were stuck in the middle. We didn't continue but instead took a U-turn back to Ouray and stayed in Grand Junction. Thank you so much for this travel guide
Love your videos! Am inspired to plan a road trip to Ouray and stopping by all those places mentioned. Is there a good blog on what is best route to take. We are retired so no fixed time.. can travel and stay as long and far as we want. Love Colorado!!
I have a video on the most scenic drives in Colorado.. but if you are here for a while just take whatever road you want.. or are curious of.. if you get lost, you will probably find something new.
South Park is based on Fairplay and there's a little mining town there from the 1800s called South Park City. Some of the houses in Fairplay even resemble the boxy homes in the show.
The Paradise Cove swimming hole is in Guffey, 52 miles from Colorado Springs. I had to look that up because watching this video, I was a little alarmed that I missed a place like that which your video gave me the impression was near Colorado Springs, where I lived for several years. Vail would be beautiful but like you, I was shocked at seeing and hearing the highway when I saw it for the first time. The configuration of the mountains only amplifies the highway sound. One of the weirdest sites/sights in Colorado I stumbled on one day is the Cresson pit, a gaping man made hole in the earth over 2,400 feet deep outside of Cripple Creek, where they mine for gold. I'm sure there are lots of videos of that on YT. You did a nice overview of some beautiful places in Colorado, many I never saw.
Glad you liked it. Yeah I have heard of the pit, never been to it... saw the Climax pit on fremont pass near leadville.. I think it is pretty small compared to the gold one.
I live in Breck and love it although it can get pretty busy at times. I was wondering what are your fav hikes in the gore range? It is less crowded due to no 14ers but it is so rugged and awesome I want to explore there more next summer.
For day hikes, there is willow lakes along with Crater lake.. that is more of a drive, also boulder lake, Buffalo Mountain, and surrounding area, but multi day you van take the Gore Rabge trail.. or as a one nighter or long day hike you could hike from wildernest around Buffalo and over Red mtn pass and into Vail, then hitchhike back to summit.
Amazing! Would love to visit Colorado. Never been there. Planning to visit during Fall season. Thanks for this video and giving us an idea on the places to go
I really enjoyed watching this. Great mix of footage and I do love seeing the old ghost towns of the mining sites. The colours are amazing. What can I say I really enjoyed it thank you 😊
Traveled once . . . to Leadvilllle ! Hiked the Collegiate Peaks with Outward Bound, for two weeks. Great adventure. Luckily, was already aclimatized. An believe me . . . at 10,000 feet plus, that's important ! 🇺🇸
I get a small allowance for personal spending, don't forget to plan ahead for the accommodations to explore these places. Yes, it means taking bus routes and sites for overnighters.
Bishops Castle looks awesome, that's on my bucket list. Cliff jumping at Green Mountain Reservoir is banned forever unfortunately. There is a lot of places I have never seen in Colorado despite being here since 2004.
When you’ve already done most of these things in your first year in Colorado.. 😁🤙🏽 Driving the Million Dollar Highway in the fall was definitely my favorite activity.
Just moved here and it is so beautiful, but hard for me to drive to some of these places. My fear of heights completely cripples me with anxiety and makes traveling to these beautiful places extremely difficult. I am hoping to try and visit some of these areas soon, I will just have to have my boyfriend drive and be sedated in the back until we arrive 😅
Kat, I understand your issue with heights! But as a psychotherapist, I also know that there are ways to manage that fear; and even to overcome it. Find a therapist who specializes in phobias; you'll be glad you did!
Yeah, I recently have been exploring false park, escalante canyon area, mee canyon, and rattlesnake arches.. neat stuff out there. I will be putting some in future videos
Depends what you enjoy. But hiking there is a ton.. Mohawk lakes near Breckinridge, chihuahua lake, some in The Gore range north of town. Lake Dillon is fun to paddle on and explore islands. Blue river is good for fishing and rafting.. depending on water levels. Ghosts towns around Breckinridge and montezuma.
I don't have a drone yet but watching your drone footage I want one. What are the FCC limits on them? Will the drone stop ascending once it gets a certain distance above the ground?
Yes, so most drones will stop ascending at 1,200 ft above your take off spot. Legally you can only fly 400 ft above ground level. There are places where you cant fly them like above people, also you can't fly them in designated wilderness, and the forest service is also banning drones in certain areas. Hanging lake is a place where drones are now banned.
@@coloradonativeguide Bummer, there are so many places in the San Juans that would be fantastic to video. Island Lake of course would be one of those places but plenty of places in the Weminuche and also the Gore Range.
Out of all the videos on RUclips about Colorado I added more places to my map from just this one video than all the other ones. I'm a nomad who travels around and loves spending time in the wilderness and hiking. The times I have been to Colorado and hiked I must say, even though beautiful, every trail I've ever been on there was extremely crowded. Do you have any recommendations of trails or areas that are less visited? I like to hike deep in the wilderness and get away from people, hiking with dozens of people on a trail just isn't for me
It's getting harder and harder to find off the path hikes as Colorado becomes more popular. I cam still find hikes in places like eagles nest wilderness and Holy cross wilderness that have no one on them. I can hike 14 miles in and camp on a lake and have that lake to myself.
Love Colorado! By far the most beautiful state i have ever lived in!
It’s okay but a really dry state not to much fun

I'll try to find it sometime
There's one thing about Vail that I liked...the contest they held many years ago to name a new bridge. The name that won was "Bob."
I used to live in Pagosa Springs the drive from Pagosa Springs up to Wolf Creek Pass Scenic Overlook is amazing!
I moved there (from the the other side of wolf creek pass) to manage a restaurant. Great town till the tourists show up.
If you are ever back in that area go to Pagosa Springs. A lovely town with awesome hot springs and a couple of blocks of lovely shops to wander. A good place to live if you want Colorado living without loads of tourists and traffic.
Glad to have found your channel! Colorado is the most beautiful place on the planet "for my money". 53 years in Ohio and planning on moving.
