- In this episode I show you my Twin Lakes, Colorado camp with a million dollar view. I also take an intimate tour of Independence Pass which is the highest paved Pass in Colorado topping out at 12,075ft in elevation. In the last episode I gave you a taste of the Pass as I drove through. This time I go back, stop and spend time at several locations including a ghost town and gorgeous Grotto with waterfall. The scenery is absolutely stunning!

I think i already told you
That you are gifted...
Fantastic how you capture the light...
Thank you for bringing me along
My Sunday mornings consist of sitting outside having a coffee and watching your videos. Thank you for posting today. As usual the scenery is gorgeous! The peace your videos bring is so relaxing. I especially love the music. Its very calming. Thanks again and I can't wait for the next video.
Thank you 🙏
Mega-dittos, Michael!!
Agree! Always look forward to your next video on Sunday morning! Thank you for sharing!
Same here!
Yes, the music is lovely!
Girl this is my idea of heaven...so grateful to see this.
😄🙏😄
It’s not just the scenery you record that is memorable - it’s the creative choices you make like starting an arpeggio of music as the grasses are fluttering in the breeze or by giving us a surprising redbird edit which is probably the way it surprised you on your walk. These are the moments that your many fans wait for each week.
Yes! You pointed out my favorite moments of the this video. I always do a deep breath and exhale during the grasses in the breeze. Pure calm.😌
Your cinematographer and music selection are outstanding as always. I so look forward to your adventures.
Thank you 🙏
Your peaceful videos along with your history lessons are superb. Add you soft, relaxed voice and the gentle background music makes your videos top-notch. Thank you for taking us along.
Catherine- i’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: your music choices are always superb! I’ve filed this video away under my camping location wish list. You made it seem absolutely stunning. Thanks for sharing it with us all.
Same here. Some people’s choice of music ruins the video
That intro was pure magic! Thank you for the inspiration.
I love your videos. Your photography is excellent. Just the right kind of music also. You pick the right places.
Seriously, Sunday mornings don't start right if I don't watch your videos.
They are so relaxing and set the mood for the day. Reminds me of a yoga class....without my embarrassing grunts, groans, and body releasing "pressure". 🙂
😂😂 Thank you 🙏
I can't tell you how much I enjoy your videos on Sunday mornings with my morning coffee...
Your videos never fail to put me in a beautiful state of mind. Thanks for sharing your travels.
I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order. -John Burroughs
Thanks for releasing on Sunday, and thanks for being low key this week - think we all need it due to Covid and the politics of the world. Have a great , safe, and happy Labor Day.
Amazing scenery! I've subscribed for a relatively long time and your cinematography has consistently improved in every video that I watch. Keep up the fantastic work and thank you for sharing!
She does so awesome catching the shot.
It is truly a work of art every Sunday.
Thank you both so much!
The scenery and music oh so spiritual and peaceful, calming the soul. You capture aura like none other, and share your meals too! As always, you included a selection of wildflowers. Zen is the word. Thank you for another travel log through glimpses of heaven.💕💐
Looks like you're enjoying Twin Lakes and Independence Pass as much as I did. Your camera really captures the colors.
Your videos are really beautiful - you're great at editing and the music is very peaceful. My husband and I really enjoy watching your channel.
Thank you so much!
Absolutely heaven on earth. 😎
So much incredible natural beauty! Your cinematography talents once again bring nature to life for us, wherever we may be. One of my favorite parts of my week! Thank you, Catherine!
Thank you 🙏
Looks like heaven 😍
Cat! Wow!!
I'm one of your older subscribers but I can do anything, in my head anyway, while I hike along with you. Thank you so much because there is alot more work in each of your videos than what most know. Keep it up, it's worth it to all of us & we hope it is to you. God's blessings and protection over you in your travels sweet friend.
Food for the soul. This channel is closer to Sunday Morning. ❤️
Catherine, It seems to me wherever you travel, you are always surrounded by majestic beauty. It's like the blood that travels through your body is rushing like the river eternally going downstream...so natural and unabated. Like the river, never stop following your passion...keep flowing like the river! BTW...Great music and TACOS!
You and your videos are amazing! Thank you Catherine!
I live in Colorado Springs. I love.Colorado..for me it is one of the most beautiful places in USA.
Just gorgeous and peaceful
Sunday morning therapy with Cat Gregory. Can't imagine a Sunday morning without your videos, they genuinely make me happy. Thank You!
For some reason this one brought tears to my eyes. The music, the scenery, just stunning. Thank you Catherine
I needed this peaceful and beautiful video today. I know you were apprehensive about posting on a holiday so thank you. Safe travels 😊
Always beautifully done Catherine. Always 👍🏻👍🏻🤗
AWESOMELY BEAUTIFUL ❤️
Great video, thank you for sharing. You are truly a masterful artist, peace and love sent your way
My wife and I spent the last ten days of August hiking in the Kananaskis/Banff/Lake Louise region of Alberta. This video brought back great memories of the rugged beauty we saw. The mountains truly have to be seen - preferably up close - to be appreciated.
What a beautiful area and you did a great job with the video. I always look forward to what you you are sharing with us. Stay safe and look forward to the next... 🍺😎👍
... Beautiful Catherine ,, Just Beautiful .... From your eye,, through the lens ,, to us .....Thank You !!
..... Stay Safe and God Bless .....
Thanks for posting on this holiday weekend. The weather was not great today here and this was appreciated.
Hi Catherine, thank you for this beautiful revisit for me to Twin Lakes CA. In my childhood, Daddy would pack all of us up with boat (on top) and trailer and drive to Twin Lakes. Very reminiscent, very nostalgic, and heart warming for me. I loved the Tiger Swallowtail butterflies, chipmunks, the incredible scenery! Dad used to tell us kids that 'Yosemite NP is right over that mountain there.' We were blessed because Dad introduced all of us to the great out of doors at a very, very young age. The quality of your videos is amazing. Thank you. :)
Enjoy your excellent views of Colorado been over dozens times, nice videoing of mountain streams also love taco salad.
Thanks for posting today. I really enjoy your beautiful videograpy and photography; it is so inspiring and relaxing.
Dear Cat ☺️🍀thanks for sharing these awesome moments of your week ♥️🥳we like the water cascades 🤩and the music to that. 10/10 🥇 Your short cooking show 🌮makes us every time hungry 🤤😂thank you so much ☺️🥰Have a save week. 🙏Your Berlin Fan Couple, Nicole and Hardy😊♥️
Thanks so much guys!
Breathtaking scenery....and nice to see the dancing flowers and grasses in the wind. Nature can be so calming and therapeutic
Catherine, the perspective through you lens is breathtaking, thank you so much!
Your videos make my Sundays. Thank you for sharing. The scenery was amazing.
After listening to Bishop Jakes on Sunday morning, you are next on my agenda along with hot coffee. A Sunday of soul searching and reflections of what God created,through your lens, of course. Thank you!
I remember swimming in twin lakes as a kid…rolling around in the sand and then jumping in-happy day-happy memory😊 thanks as always for sharing
What a beautiful and well done video. We drove through White River National Forest on our way back from Moab to Colorado Springs. It’s absolutely breathtaking. Thank you for another great video!
Outstanding camera work and editing! What a beautiful area..thanks for taking the time to share. Stay safe Catherine...R.
Wildlife wait in line and flowers stand up straight for the chance to be in one of Catherine's movies.
I see many ofour commenters love watching your videos on Sunday mornings, I usually save your videos for Sunday evenings, I find that they work good for winding down at the end of the day, beautiful photogarphy and cinenatography and beautiful music to go with it. Thanks for sharing your adventures and be safe out there.
Yes! The Grottos Trail and Independence Pass is where we took some magical pictures with my kids last October that I will treasure forever. Makes me want to go back in fall after watching your video.
Enjoy 😉
What absolute grandeur! Thank you for sharing, and even your Cat-Zen Experience! You could just see it in your face - you got Nature-Stoked! So need to see and see this beautiful area. Thank you for bringing it to all of us! Can't wait until next week! Safe travels.
Thank you so much!
I love your videos! Seeing how amazed you feel about the beauty of Colorado really moves me....because I have lived in Colorado, and explored much of it. Maroon Bells, Twin Lakes, and Independence pass are wonderful places to visit!
I wrote this before , i write it again , you are the best videographer in youtube , no one shoots like you , there is a professional , i subscribe to her Christian Schaffer , a little bit younger but she doesn't compare... no way , your footage , the angles the light , even the editing and the music , much more mature and deep...you really deserve a lot more subscribers , this is one of the best...congrats!!
Thank you for posting your video today, we have made it part of our Sunday morning routine
Absolutely stunning!
I just discovered your channel when you posted the Maroon Bells video. I lived in Colorado for 27 years, and due to a divorce, I just moved away. The Maroon Bells area is my favorite camping and hiking spot and I have lots of awesome memories of Twin Lakes, and Independence Pass by car and motorcycle. Thank you for the gorgeous videos of the area...it tugs at my heart and reminds me how much I miss the mountains. Maybe I'll be able to move back some day....

Wow is the perfect description for today"s video. I'm so glad we didn't have to wait a week.
Beautiful ❤️
Thank you for the amazing views
Love that place. If you’re heading north, you might consider heading up to Cameron pass and spend some time at Chambers lake. Wonderful place to camp.
I love the 🇺🇸 USA. We have so many beautiful places to see and your videos cause me to add more to my bucket 🪣 list. You really need to stop 🛑, I will never be able to see them all. I love everywhere you go! Thanks 🙏 for another great video. Stay safe🚐🥾😎
Finally got around watching your vlog! :) Better late, than never!
For sure. Thank you!
W😍WZA! What a beautiful area! And as always top notch filmmaking! Your videos put me in a nature trance!🌻💛
Thank you 🙏
Catherine, outstanding video and I love the music you pair to your videos. Very relaxing! Thank you!
Another beautiful video! Glad you decided to post it today. Those tacos looked great!
Iv lived in Colorado in my younger days , always loved it.
Praise God you are feeling good. Ss always enjoyed the video. You do so great. Thanks. Blessings
You made the right decision to give up your 9-5 job and take to nature. Probably not more lucrative but very nourishing for The Soul. Thank You for taking me along with you on your excursion. Excellent Video!! 🙏👍😎
Awesome as usual! Very jealous of your surroundings today!! Stay safe!❤❤
Twin Lakes is one of our favorite camping spots, and for all of the reasons you’ve stated. We’re so very fortunate to live a little more than an hour away.
Hi Catherine--I'm watching this video again 3 years later and it's still awesome scenery! I also re-watched Ouray and Yosemite National Park too with its stunning vistas. Thanks for bringing us along and a chance to revisit some wonderful adventures with you. Jenny 🐺🦉🪶🏞
Looks like such a nice peaceful area. I can only imagine what those miners were going through when they had to leave. Dismantling houses to make skis to get to safety! Tacos looked delicious too!
My thoughts exactly
As always, another stunning video! I love your adventurous spirit, and the way you see the natural beauty around you. You are special! Thank you
Thank you so much!
Nothing better then to wake up have my coffee with another fantastic and peaceful Cat video!
🙏❤️🙏
Catheine I absolutely love where you take us thank you for your free spirit
A few nights ago, I dreamed it was 2005 again. The Huygens probe was descending the thick clouds of the moon Titan. At the base of a golden ice mountain was a familiar camper. As Huygens landed on an alien world, a familiar gal, wearing a hat and a broad smile finishes taking pictures. She casually strolls up to the probe. Catherine looks into its video camera and joyfully says: "Sorry, NASA, beat you to it."😀
Love it!!
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures 😀
Beautiful creation as always . I'm always excited to see your video's as soon as they are uploaded. I travel alot and have visited many of the same locations but,your cinematic view of nature dwarfs my pictures and videos, so always excited to see your perspective.
WOW!, WOW! the start of this adventure could not have been more exquisite. to wake up in the camper(i absolutely love starting that way) the heater, the light from outside, then you open the door to such a majestic view. if that's not enough to start an awesome day i don't know what could surpass that. then the deer, geez, i don't think you could top the beauty, the tranquility, the majesty of GOD'S creation. but dang if you don't! just an amazing area, the valley, the streams, history of the town, the mountains. absolutely amazing splendor! thank you so, so much for that video. until next time. God Bless, stay safe.
Love this area, it was my home for a winter back in the early 90's, I had a small cabin a couple miles towards the pass from town. Winter is harsh and not to be taken lightly. I moved into Leadville the next Spring and stayed for ten years. I know those mountains like the back of my hand as they say. Always happy to see someone on RUclips spend time around there. This video reminds me just how beautiful it is. So glad you liked it.
Beautiful area, lived in Leadville several years ago, miss the mountains so much
@@brendabouma1227 why did you move
Yay - I am first viewer!
Lol
Thank you so much for this beautiful gift of a video for a chill Labor Day weekend. I hope everyone gets to watch this sublime visual treat.
Oh Catherine...spent 7 hours binge watching your past videos. Covered your injury and a trip with your mom. Wished we could have seen more of her. This one was stunning as usual. You definitely have the BEST channel on this topic, right down to Taco recipes. Thank you so much. Hope one day we can get out there. Peace and good health...always.
Thank you so much John! My mom didn't want to be on camera. I needed to respect that.
Wow! thoroughly enjoyed this video, beautiful scenes and great food. Keep it up!
Have a safe and wonderful Labor holiday, Catherine!
Stunning views Cat! You do an amazing job sharing the beauty with us. 🤠
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for breakfast, dinner, and the hike. An enjoyable day and a lovely campsite.
1 of my favorite places on the planet and your incredible ability to make it pop on the screen made me feel like I was there!! Great stuff as per usual! You aren't to far from The Great Sand Dunes and that is a super special place too! Keep on rolling Catherine!
So Beautiful! Thank you for taking us along with you to all these amazing and beautiful places.🥰🏞🌲🍃
The peaceful calm of a visual before my eyes that I'm experiencing before the loudness of the week is a welcomed sight. Nice history information midway into the video. On another note, this reminds me to someday make homemade burritos at some point.
I’m glad my vote counted and you put out your weekly video on this holiday weekend. I’m never disappointed or bored. I find myself watching all the way through and I never fast forward. This weeks video certainly was beautiful.
Thank you so much Linda!
Taco omelet? yes, You certainly do fry You're shells, you made me smile 👍🙏❤🙏
Gorgeous scenery. Thank you 😊.
We stayed at a VRBO home just outside of Leadville. Leadville has the most incredible mining museum . Even if museums aren’t your thing, this museum will leave you astounded. We ventured south to Twin Lakes, then took Independence Pass up over the Continental Divide and down into Aspen. The (apparent) socioeconomic difference between Leadville and Aspen was quite striking.
Thank You!
Last year I camped at Ridgway State Park and visited Telluride and Ouray. Also a great area and the Silverton highway is very scenic
Brings back memories of a time long ago. ❤️
Great way to start the morning thanks Cat!
Enjoy your videos, the mountains and scenery are so different than my area (Vermont) . Also good company 👍🎩
