Follows I-70 West from the outskirts to I-25 South through downtown during nightfall. Please stay for the Director's Commentary at the end of the video.
Denver is one of my favorite cities in the US. The downtown area is really nice and Denver is right by the Rocky Mountains. The people there are really nice as well. The highway system could use some work though.😂🤣😭 Nice video, Jim!!!😈💜
@@Freewayjim lol right on. Thank you for your videos. I can come home from a long day at work not feeling the best and watch one of your videos and instantly feel alot better
@Teresa Mack not to defend negativity but he wasn't being a troll or negative, anyone living in denver knows that dog food plant lets out an offensive smell and levi pointed it out no need to get angry over a little thing. If you wanna talk about being negative look at what your commenting, life is too short for that Let's enjoy this amazing video Jim released.
This is without a doubt your best video. I watch it a lot and it really inspires me to follow my dream of traveling all around the country. Keep these videos coming. Best wishes to you and your family.
Excellent job Jim and for some of the freeways in Denver like Interstate 25 they do have Light Rail trains running alongside them this is visible at the 7:55-10:40 mark
I watched this video yesterday and I gained a new favorite song!! Violets by Science for Girls with Renee Cologne is such a beautiful song and I've listened to it countless times.
Equipment: WIFE!!!! Freaking hilarious! My ex would say, "Tool: Husband"...come to think of it, she likely still does. First, you have a spectacular catalog of music you integrate into your videos. This was another great video, obviously, because it's about my home town, Denver. But you put some good information into the video to keep interest without making it distracting. You also have a very artistic approach, which truly illuminates why I love road travel -- drinking in America. We truly live in a blessed country for so many reasons. However, its beauty - in almost every corner - truly seems a creation of God. You capture that nearly spiritual essence in these urban videos (Denver, NYC), as well as the desolate areas (16-14 Wyoming I-90 West: The Middle of Nowhere II). You put in just the right amount/type of effects to make it pop, without it being gaudy or like a LeRoy Neiman experience. Many aspiring video artists indulge themselves rather than accentuating the art. You accentuate the art of road travel! Thanks for your many videos! I am a huge fan! Thanks for your love of our great country's "road riches".
LOL! The funny thing is that was my wife's idea, she has a healthy sense of humor, which is one of many reasons why we are still married coming up on our 30th anniversary :) Thank you for the very thoughtful comment and for watching, yes we do indeed live in an amazing country, and there' still so much more to see.
Denver is the 1.6km high city, its elevation is around or exceeding 1.6km, thus it is cool during the nights, and hotter in the day. It is sunnier than So-Cal, and has pleasant daytime temps all year round, but its lows can get rather chilly, albeit in the summer its nicer than where I live. We have average lows of 11 degrees in July-August. Denver is 14-15 average degrees low in Jul-Aug, much better than my city, and San Fran, with its average 12-13 July-Sept.
Thanks buddy for this video!! Born and raised here in the mile high city! Been coast to coast, and can't leave my mountains. Good video, very good. Thanks for such awesome video work. 👍👍
I really loved seeing the front range from that far out! Great video as always. Saw some pictures from I 70 near Limon of pikes peak. Crazy how far away you can see the mountains some places. Great video as always Jim!
Sorry to hear about the hotel experience with Hampton Inn- and glad that got resolved for you- I am enjoying the commentary at the end- and also the video was great- the dusk setting was nice and also- nice drive-by of Mile High Stadium (Can't stand the current name of the stadium... and always liked that name- Mile High Stadium...). Nice ride- and also the Denver skyline, mountains never fails to impress me at all! Great video- looking forward to more and it was a great way for me to cap a long day!
Awesome to see a new video of Denver! The sunsets and the skyline are always awesome. I remember when around mile 278 there were once runways across I-70 from when Stapleton was still the airport
Another outstanding Denver drive. Also thank you for introducing great music in each video. (Namely "Sweet Sweet Rain" by Gene Loves Jezubel from another Denver drive) Also love the violet effect. As far as hotels, I stayed in the Holiday Inn downtown Denver (which I believe is an Express now.) It was pretty decent, IMO.
I really love these drive and they make an interesting viewing during breakfast or lunch. The music you play is just great and sets the scene well. The music has also opened my mind to many new artists and bands I'd otherwise never discover and thus has lead me to many a purchase. I used to think driving around the freeways of South East Queensland (Brisbane) listening to uplifting trance was the epitome of a joyous drive. My new driving music enables me to see my environment in a new light. Awesome vids.
I love your video, really enjoyed it, Denver is so beatiful and friendly, a girlfriend that lives there always says "Denver is cold in winter season but with a warm hearth for everyone"
That was fun! Hopefully I can get to see I-70 through all of the Denver area. I only have I-70 from I-270 to I-225. US 6 from I-25 is a good alternate to I-70 and the mountains.
Denver local here. The quickest way to the mountains is I-70, going to 6th takes longer.But the I-70 w portion is a great view, I definitely recommend it.
I live in denver. the sunsets are absolutely amazing there. i recommend going to aspen during the spring or fall. the drive is beautiful. or go to lookout mountain
I like the hotel commentary. I've had great luck with HIE myself so far. With all the traveling you do it's nice to know which hotels and where are good and not so good. Thanks Jim!
I like the approach into Denver where you see no hint of a city, just miles and miles of flat brown prairie, then you come over a small rise and it's like "oh, there it is". And yes, it does look like I-70 is badly in need of upgrade.
My wife and I had a pretty poor experience with our hotel in the Denver area a couple of years back as well during our honeymoon. I'm glad you at least got your money back. Hopefully it doesn't happen again. Great video as usual! I'm excited to see the US 6 drive across central Utah. I haven't been through there in a little over a decade.
Interesting, I've never had issues with Hampton Inns myself. As for the trip itself, I can imagine how long of a trip it is. A few years ago, I did a road trip with a friend, managing to make it from Temecula, CA, to Minneapolis, MN, in two days. The stop at the end of Day 1 was in Parachute, CO, which I selected specifically to ensure we went through Glenwood Canyon in daylight. The rest of the drive was just LONG. We left from Parachute at about 5am MT and arrived in Minneapolis at about 2am CT. (My friend slept from Grand Island, NE, to Ankeny, IA; then he took over driving and I slept as he drove up I-35.)
I LOVE THIS VIDEO! It ALMOST fulfills my addiction to get on the road again, and doesn’t scare me like my husband’s driving does. I would rather do all the driving myself.
I love your videos filming my city, You always get the best backgrounds as far as sky's go. Denver is like reaching the gates of a kingdom after a long 8 hour drive through Kansas(my old home state)
Good choice! I have been very impressed with Holiday Inn Express. I remember the one near Pittsburgh International Airport was very nice, and so was the service.
There's also the Margaret T. Hance Deck Park in Phoenix over I-10 between downtown and uptown. It's where the central library for the city is as well, right above the freeway.
@@mat247365 I was about to post that. I'll add this. Margaret T hence park opened in 1992. It is named after the first female mayor of Phoenix (1976-1983). Indeed, I-10 tunnels underneath the 32 acre park!
Joe Dazey I always loved driving through the tunnels on our way to see family in the West Valley. In fact, I always enjoyed riding on I-10 in Phoenix EVERY time!
Your Colorado vids, inspired me to get out of the house, and go see for myself . What an adventure it was too. I also learned I25 coming into Denver from Colorado Springs during rush hours really sucks. All that weed tax money should go to fixing the roads in Denver. lmao
Fyi...my son & wife experienced a Hampton Inn that was horrible in North Carolina. They gave him the room. Sadly he experienced the same situation at an old historic hotel in Savannah. They ended up not having to pay for an expensive dinner or the room. They were quite uncomfortable and disappointed. It was too late in the day to head home to Augusta so they toughed it out.
Good timing Jim , I just happen to arrive in Denver 10pm last night, came from Iowa. I got lost in some back streets by a Salvation army , I believe around a mile from down town , anyways I was shocked and sickened to see obviously malnourished homeless people sleeping all over the concrete ground and benches , you would think that the city would feed these people Geesh. I'm going to spread the word that these people need help , hope everyone else spreads the word too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! these ain't the same people that are on the street corners with cardboard signs begging for money , most of them people look like there very capable of doing work , the people on the concrete couldn't even move. Thanks for the excellent video as ussual
This is what happens when you legalize marijuana. People come here to buy marijuana, find out it is pretty expensive, still buy it and either live on the streets or out of their cars. Where I live, the Human Services people buy these people bus tickets to get home, but weeks later, they are back and the cycle repeats itself. We need to either legalize marijuana throughout the country or ban it throughout the country.
Great video, as always. Enjoyed very much your thoughts at the end of it. It would be nice if you could do this more often, I mean share your thoughts about hotels, inns etc.
Great video, worthy of my 3 views so far... There'll be more. Hmmm... Ghost shield at exit 288. I guess Colfax lost it's Business distinction.😆 That sunset... Wow!
FreewayJim.... I feel your hotel pain as I travel 4 days out of the week. I too have remained loyal to HiltonHonors, and especially Hampton Inn, mainly due to the reward points. After the second experience I had VERY similar to yours, I now go to the HiltonHonors app, plug in my destination address and I choose one of the Hilton brands in the vicinity that looks like the newest facility. I can usually tell when a Hampton Inn is out-dated because I prefer a specific room and when I don’t see that room, I know it’s outdated. I will add one more suggestion, I fly a lot so I tend to arrive to my hotel late in the evenings. When using the HiltonHonors app, I always select my room when making the reservation and I can “mobile” check-in 24 hours in advance with the room I selected at the time of reservation. When I check in through the app, I also select the mobile electronic key so I can bypass the counter in the lobby and go straight to my room. This has saved me A LOT of pain, especially when a large group is checking in. And if you prefer that key card from the lobby check-in, go ahead and select an electronic key when you check-in with your mobile phone 24 hours in advance. When you arrive at the hotel, let the receptionist know you prefer to have a card key. This way you are covered in the event it’s late or there is a large group in the lobby. Either way, you have already selected the room and floor you want and have covered yourself rather than relying on the hotel staff. Hope that works for you on your next trip.
Good insight there thank you! I was extremely happy with Holiday Inn Express three nights in a row on the way home, played hotel roulette = no reservations and won, lol.
Amazing, you were in my neighborhood. We have some nice hotels in the Tech center, but the staff at most of them are not very good. We just had a hotel torn down because they failed their inspection, and were dropped by a major national hotel chain. The Marriott Residence Inn DTC is pretty good, and there was another larger Hilton "probably a bit more expensive unfortunately" right up the street. I am a huge fan of your videos, and you always pick the right music and the perfect times of day to make amazing videos. Love the video editing as well. Sorry your experience in Denver was disappointing at the hotel, there is also some nicer hotels just up the street a bit in Centennial / Lone Tree right off the freeway.
Thank you very much, glad you enjoy the videos! Denver is a big city, I'm sure I'll have better luck next time with regards to a hotel, Hampton Inn is usually pretty dependable but things happen I suppose.
Your Hotel travails reminded me of the 'Seinfeld' episode where the rental-car place failed to give him a mid-sized car and after arguing and saying that he didn't think they understood how reservations work, he accepted their compact and agreed that he'd need the insurance for it because . . ." I'm gonna beat the hell outta this thing " > Looking forward to the rest of this excursion. You are still the standard.others are compared to.
Another great episode. I have noticed a decline at Hampton Inn as well. Perhaps there is some sort of a management issue. When i went through Denver a week or so later, I ended up at a La Quinta in Rifle, which is the next town west of Glenwood Springs.
Thanks lovely video. I was born and raised near Denver but recently moved to Nashville. I miss Colorado so this is great memories
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
I'm glad that you took that detour; that view of the Denver skyline around 7:18 is one of my favorite parts of the video!
Thank you, sometimes it all works out.
Denver is one of my favorite cities in the US. The downtown area is really nice and Denver is right by the Rocky Mountains. The people there are really nice as well. The highway system could use some work though.😂🤣😭 Nice video, Jim!!!😈💜

Night time view of Denver...pretty sweet. Thank you Freewayjim!
Denver is a great city to see early in the morning as the sun is just breaking the horizon or at the time of night that was Shot here.
Thank you for watching!
Yes sir! The mile high city looks so great at dusk or dawn. Especially going east on west Colfax from Lakewood!
perfect weather conditions for some astounding content per usual, Jim.
Thank you very much!
@ 5:10 the wretched stench of the pet food plant can often be smelled for miles and miles!

After the second experience I had VERY similar to yours, I now go to the HiltonHonors app, plug in my destination address and I choose one of the Hilton brands in the vicinity that looks like the newest facility. I can usually tell when a Hampton Inn is out-dated because I prefer a specific room and when I don’t see that room, I know it’s outdated. I will add one more suggestion, I fly a lot so I tend to arrive to my hotel late in the evenings. When using the HiltonHonors app, I always select my room when making the reservation and I can “mobile” check-in 24 hours in advance with the room I selected at the time of reservation. When I check in through the app, I also select the mobile electronic key so I can bypass the counter in the lobby and go straight to my room. This has saved me A LOT of pain, especially when a large group is checking in. And if you prefer that key card from the lobby check-in, go ahead and select an electronic key when you check-in with your mobile phone 24 hours in advance. When you arrive at the hotel, let the receptionist know you prefer to have a card key. This way you are covered in the event it’s late or there is a large group in the lobby. Either way, you have already selected the room and floor you want and have covered yourself rather than relying on the hotel staff. Hope that works for you on your next trip.
Good insight there thank you! I was extremely happy with Holiday Inn Express three nights in a row on the way home, played hotel roulette = no reservations and won, lol.
You read her the riot act -- love it! 😊
I was "Professional" but firm :)
Amazing, you were in my neighborhood. We have some nice hotels in the Tech center, but the staff at most of them are not very good. We just had a hotel torn down because they failed their inspection, and were dropped by a major national hotel chain. The Marriott Residence Inn DTC is pretty good, and there was another larger Hilton "probably a bit more expensive unfortunately" right up the street. I am a huge fan of your videos, and you always pick the right music and the perfect times of day to make amazing videos. Love the video editing as well. Sorry your experience in Denver was disappointing at the hotel, there is also some nicer hotels just up the street a bit in Centennial / Lone Tree right off the freeway.
Thank you very much, glad you enjoy the videos! Denver is a big city, I'm sure I'll have better luck next time with regards to a hotel, Hampton Inn is usually pretty dependable but things happen I suppose.
Epic video!
LOL, how do you know? you posted this only a few minutes after I published it.
Freewayjim because I don’t even have to watch the video to know it’s good :)
@@presto569 LOL, well thank you!
Freewayjim your welcome!
I’m with you on the Holiday Inn Express. I am a fan. New and clean is my kind of place.
Your Hotel travails reminded me of the 'Seinfeld' episode where the rental-car place failed to give him a mid-sized car and after arguing and saying that he didn't think they understood how reservations work, he accepted their compact and agreed that he'd need the insurance for it because . . ." I'm gonna beat the hell outta this thing " > Looking forward to the rest of this excursion. You are still the standard.others are compared to.
Thank you Tim!
New entry on the high five yesss
Another great episode. I have noticed a decline at Hampton Inn as well. Perhaps there is some sort of a management issue. When i went through Denver a week or so later, I ended up at a La Quinta in Rifle, which is the next town west of Glenwood Springs.
Thank you, Rifle looks like a neat little town.
Not sure your thoughts but I love seeing moments like 3:01 when you get that great timing of a train going over the overpass just as you approach it.
I mentioned it to my wife when it happened in the car, yeah I like when those things make it on video.
What a great image quality!
Thank you
The first few minutes for some reason reminded me of the Battle of Crait in The Last Jedi
Never saw it, will take your word for it :)
Denver is a great city, it seems very Canadian to me. Great video as always.
It was a interesting tour.
Well done!
Thank you!
That sunset at 6:00.... wow!
Video ends at the ‘full house’ interchange (at least that’s what I used to call it when I used to live out that way)
Thank you 🙏 Jim
Thank you for watching!
If you're coming to the San Diego area I would love for you to shoot the 8 eastbound and the 163 both ways. They're magnificent rides!
Been there before and have a few videos on this channel but did not get there on this trip but I do enjoy driving in San Diego for sure.
Daytime = Pandajero
Dusktime = Violets
Fitting songs to use here.
Nice view of the front range. Too bad I'm on the red eye from Orlando and won't see them coming in
