Great video's I'm retired from trucking after over 40 yrs but I was just through there last July I never get tired of these mountains and seeing this country
Ha, i used to drive that before it was four lane, and, before the tunnel under Loveland Pass. I used to pull a gooseneck horse stock trailer form Minnesota to Grand Junction, i had a Ford F250 with a 390 and a four speed, it was great I later started using the southern route, and have not driven though the new highway. Nice to see this.
Nice video . August 1985 we drove that stretch going west to California . Only one tunnel was open ,they were still building the other Portal . One direction of traffic was using the old road and the other direction was on the New higher Deck . It was about 1990 when I rode Amtrak ( Pioneer ) thru the Canyon , nice views . Thanx
Dang, those are not pot holes those are crater holes... Lol... I always loved that driver on I-70 west of Denver. You know it's going to be construction zones from Golden to Grand Junction this spring.
There is a bike trail that runs through this canyon along the river and at times under the highway. At times it is on the old road that ran through this area before this divided highway. We were able to rent bikes for the ride. Took a lunch and enjoyed it at the east end, tables provided. Enjoy, not in winter, frozen lunch.
So do we! But Montrose, Pennsylvania! We drove through this beautiful canyon several times in September, 2019 during a visit to this part of your beautiful state. Well worth the trip! PS: We've also been to Montrose, CO in the past!
The video does not do justice for the actual beauty of Glenwood Canyon! It has always been my favorite drive and now is my favorite train ride as well...
That van did the merge correctly. You're supposed to use both lanes till the last second. It's called the zipper merge. It's the fastest and most efficient way of keeping traffic flowing.
Yeah the zipper merge is OK but, in my book he waited *way* too long to get up in front to merge. If the truck had been closer to the car in front there would have been a problem. He got away with it because the truck wasn't' tailgating. It's the responsibility of the vehicle merging to do it safely.
Joseph Smith you seek attention by bad mouthing mike? Im not sure of your motive. No hate, he is not a bad driver. He is ballsy but i do believe he can drive. Would i drive a 80k rig like him...hell no. I would take my time. But im not Mike
Joseph Smith and to clarify you are completely right about the left lane law. Only left for passing. We could have a damn autobahn in this country if everyone could fucking understand that.
2:37 There are two kinds of rocks (not varieties as in granite, quarts). You have your pet rock. Those rocks are used in the home, and the office to hold doors open also used on desk tops as paper weights. There have been instances where pet rocks have tried to commit suicide by jumping off a desk onto the floor. Thankfully this has resulted in a 0% success rate. The other kind of rock is the wild variety. Those are the ones that like to roll down mountains onto highways and any vehicles on the road and are extremely dangerous. Thankfully road engineers have discovered where these wild rocks like to hide and have erected road signs saying "FALLING ROCK" to warn the traveling public. Scientists have agreed that if you can tell the difference between a male and female turtle you would be able to tell the difference between a male and female rock.
Mike, I thought I had seen everything when you took me through Moab. But this is breathtaking. Thank you for the ride.
Another favorite. Thanks for taking us through the canyon.
Awesome ride..we get to travel with you..beautiful sceneries..thank you..peace!
Awesome? Magnificent? All the superlatives! Thanks for the ride.

That really is a beautiful drive. Especially in the snow. Too bad the road is so rough!
One of my favorites. God Bless.
Beautiful scenery ❤
That was the best video! Except for the snow driving... They are my favorite. Be safe and take care.

Great Ride man Dave from Wisconsin

I have a brother in law that drives through there every day from Rifle and Eagle to work, beautiful drive.

You know it's going to be construction zones from Golden to Grand Junction this spring.
beautiful drive..thanks for sharin..cheers
I remember driving the canyon when it was still a 2 lane road right next to the river.
Oh man that was one of the coolest Highways. I've heard someone else say this oh it was you.
In places it reminds me of a Hotwheels track.
Very nice scenery, i can imagine some kind of slide there could be very bad.

I enjoyed the ride along. It’s a bit different to see what is almost home from your prospective. We live in Montrose.
So do we! But Montrose, Pennsylvania! We drove through this beautiful canyon several times in September, 2019 during a visit to this part of your beautiful state. Well worth the trip! PS: We've also been to Montrose, CO in the past!

No camera can duplicate the natural color intake of the human eyes.Just my 2cts.🗽🗽🗽👍👍👍
Beautiful, but yes, needs road work, ouch...
Im having a vacation riding along with you never seen so many mountains PEACE Dave Heeren Wisconsin
He was honking at you because you are driving with your brights on.
I agree east bound is much more scenic

No if means keep both lanes full

@Joseph Smith since i can't even agree with you then go fuck yourself. Just keep stirring the pot. It does fuck all for anybody.
WORK THIS UP AND PUT IT IN A MUSEUM. EVERYTHING IS JUST RIGHT.
Is that railroad tracks on the south side above the river, or the original roadway??
RR tracks.
Colorado River on (L)
A highway built using 100 % French technology .

He is talking of rocks coming of the hill at 2:10 not 2:37
