    It's so funny how impressed people from out of state are with Colorado. I live on Monument Rd. and hike with my dog on that trail very regularly. It must suck living somewhere that you have to go on vacation to escape.

    For reference if the pumpkin does not have anything sprayed on it to last longer you can put the pumpkin out for animals. Moose love pumpkins so do most rodent populations like marmots. Just do not put it by a road or right on a trail. The caves are cool , imagine living in them. Be safe guys.

    things to do this time of year and Colorado if you make your way back around to Colorado Springs, you can do 14,000 feet elevation on pikes peak. You can also check out the royal gorge which is about 45 minutes from Colorado Springs. Pretty awesome this time of year they also have a dinner train that goes through the mountains for three hours at the royal gorge, and while in Colorado Springs, they have the seven Falls and Cave of the winds and the Manitou cliff dwellings pretty cool place to check out and all the stuff is pretty reasonable reasonable in price!

    Don’t forget to set your heater air intake in accordance with changes of elevation, thinner air in the mountains. Also, when the ski resorts open, rent some skis and take ski lessons in Colorado and Utah, lots ski hills have gondolas. Then when you get to Canada, you can ski six months of the year. BC & Alberta.

    Welcome to Colorado don't be put off by the cold because it's actually the best part of Colorado. The black canyon of the Gunnison & Royal Gorge are canyons that are in Colorado that have no comparison even the grand canyon. Remember the Colorado River is the biggest dynamic part of the grand canyon so we got our hands in that one too lol!

  • @jodybarker6873

    PS - yes, you're here in "mud season". Just like you described it, it is the season between other seasons. Typically, this is the time that places like ski areas and other winter season towns do their clean-up from summer and fall and prep for the winter season. They also give staff a break, before the next tourist season begins. Its a best kept secret, so shhh, don't tell anyone! HA! PPS - yes, all CO state parks now require a reservation.

    If you like gondolas, check out Telluride. Bonus: It's free. You park at Mountain Village and ride the gondola into Telluride and then back (which is good, because there's very little parking in Telluride)

  • @mikecolesvids
    @mikecolesvids 2 года назад

    The gondola in Telluride is FREE! It was implemented to encourage commuting from Mountain Village and reduce the need for parking in town. Bonus is a camp site in City Park as it’s an easy walk to the gondola station and downtown!

    • @tedpreston4155
      @tedpreston4155 2 года назад

  • @ourv9603
    @ourv9603 2 года назад

    GUYz,
    When you connect to campground water, especially in the
    off season, no water has flowed out of that faucet for who
    knows how long & the water that has been sitting in the
    pipe is usually tastes pretty bad. So, it is best practices
    to run the water for 2-3 min before you connect & fill your
    tank. ALSO, NEVER put any water in your tank that does
    not go thru a water filter. Not even big city municipal water.
    !

    What fun following you two around on your adventure! Thanks for taking us along!
    Here's a suggestion for climbing your first "Fourteener": Mount Bierstadt near Georgetown is one of the easiest of the fourteeners to "climb." It's really just a mild hike that's not hatefully steep. You can easily do the hike without any fancy gear: just hiking boots, or even just running shoes, if you're surefooted. When you reach the top, you'll be looking over a long "sawtooth" ridge, with Mount Evans on the opposite end of the ridge. If you haven't had enough of the altitude yet, you can hop in the van and buzz down the road to Idaho Springs, and then drive Pancake to the top of Mount Evans, and then you can look over that sawtooth ridge the other way.
    A hike up Bierstadt now would be chilly - until you start to generate your own heat and take off a few layers! Sunday and Monday have the nicest forecast! I looked at a webcam, and there's no snow standing in town in Goergetown, but you might want to check and ensure that the top of Bierstadt is not yet snowbound. It may be too late in the year to do it now.
