Sometimes when I see the beauty of nature that God has created for us it put's a tear in my eye. We are so blessed to live in such a beautiful country. Hopefully some day i will get to see more of it. Thank you again Cat for sharing.
You have a very special gift Catherine , Thank you so much for sharing this with us all , beauty both in nature and in self .
🙏💯💙
Thank you Bruce.
Such beauty Catherine, I noticed you haven’t mentioned it,but do you see the majesty of God who made this splendor for us little beings to wonder?
Thank You for TAKIN’ ME ALONG ❤️ ✔️ 🦅
The music choices really went “well today” … really enjoyed. 😎
I whole-heartedly agree.
Videography isn't her only gift. Her music selections have been very inspirational to me.
Thank you everyone!
One of your best videos so far. The scenery is so magnificent! You've become a very accomplished photographer. Also loved the music!
Thank you 🙏
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures Where's the music from? Where can I find it?
Hello cat wow is the perfect word two thumbs up 👍 on this one it did look like a painting be safe thanks for making my Sunday
Breathtaking scenery. Thank you for sharing more of God's awesome creations with us. So peaceful. :)
Beautiful video. I always look forward to Sunday mornings so I enjoy another adventure.
I first visited the US as a foreign student in the early 80's. A highlight of that trip was hitching a ride over independence pass with a genuine mountain man in greasy coveralls, multiple layers of frayed plaid and a worn out feed supply cap. His 1940's Willys Jeep, complete with home made plywood hard top, got slower and slower as the grade increased, the line of cars and RVs behind us getting longer and longer. Eventually the old timer had me stop traffic whilst he swung the Jeep around and we slowly ground our way to the summit in the lowest available gear, reverse. Best day ever. A picture of that guy and "the old goat" that was his Jeep continue to take pride of place on my home office wall.
Wow, your not kidding, beautiful video, thanks for taking me along, safe travels. 🙏🏻 👍🏻 👏🏻
What fantastic views!! There aren't enough words
Thanks Cat!
Sunday mornings are better with CAT! Awesome.
Thank you 🙏
We are so blessed to live in this beautiful country.
Oh Catherine...there are not enough superlatives to describe what you have presented here. Perfection in everything you chose to show or have us listen to. Especially your voice. Thank you so much for the magnificent beauty you bring into my life.
Thanks so much 😊
Absolutely stunningly beautiful!!!! I started watching & my coffee had to wait!😃. Independence Pass is amazing!! You need to stay for the leaves changing in the mountains in about 3 weeks! Safe travels!
Outstanding video. You did a fantastic job of showcasing these two beautiful areas of Colorado. I wish more travel videos were like this one. Keep it up!
Amazing scenery, cinematography and music! Just... WOW! Thank you sooooo much!
I watching this episode again (Oct. 13, 2024) and the majestic Maroon Bells are just gorgeous, as are the wildflowers along the way. Beautiful cinematography, Cat! 💜🐦
Being a Wyoming native, I am in love with the type of hiking we have in the Wind River Mountains. I spent 5 years ski bumming in Colorado back in the 80s. I found that there are still amazing places in Colorado to get away from the crowds and see some of the most beautiful mountains anywhere. Thank you again Cathy. Love your videos.
When we see grand views such as you’ve shared, it reminds us just how small our problems really are. Those were stunning! We hope you have a wonderful week and may God bless. ~Doug and Carol
Thank you!! 🙏🙏
Cat Jim again. What a great visit back to memories. You always have the best views of the beautiful area. Loved the sound of the running stream. Could use that for a great nights sleep LOL. Keep up the great videos always grab a cup of coffee and look every Sunday morning. What a great way to enjoy a cup of Joe. Stay safe and healthy.
Your images of the mountainous terrain are absolutely timeless. The mountain peaks stand as sentinels amidst breathtaking forests and lakes. Stay safe, stay well.
I always wanted to Hike Maroon Bells! This areas is a photographers dream!
Another stunning video, Catherine!! Thank you for your masterful work and perfect music pairings! Perfect for the majesty of the Bells!! ❤️
Dang it Cath, you did it again ! Those mountain peaks just blows me away, I watched in awe of those Majestic rocks that God's hands created to perfection. Amazing.
Great presentation of a beautiful area. Independence Pass was breath taking. Enjoy Mother Nature's majesty!
Incredible scenery once again.
I love it when you take us along on a beautiful ride. Nothing like big white clouds and deep blue sky! I never made it to the Bells on my many trips to Colorado - your video is so clear and beautiful - I almost thought I was there for a few seconds! You're the best Cat -thanks!
The sounds of the high aspen leaves forest, the streams, the winds and breezes are like a breath of life into your soul.
Awesome, clean air, crystal clear water, beautiful trout, lovely Cat, your artistic skills are more apparent every day, thanks again.
The first time I went there when I was 12 years old I became out of breath within 20 minutes of hiking that trail.
It wasn't until years later I came back as an adult and better luck.
Catherine, you still have that magical knack of finding the most beautiful places and producing such wonderful videography that always lifts my spirits and causes me to appreciate all that we see, including you and your gentle spirit. Thank you.
What an awesomely beautiful place. Great weather for hiking. And surprise early snow and added treat. Thanks Cat
The peaks reminded me of pyramids because of their shapes. Great video, Catherine!
Wow, I am awestruck by the beauty of Maroon Bells State Park and the scenic drive. I plan to visit there someday in the near future. Thanks Catherine for taking us along. I always enjoy your Sunday morning vlog with a cup of coffee.
Excellent video CG! You found the "For Purple Mountain majesties" verse of the song! Man driving passes with a camper scares me....lol You're a brave chick! Safe travels!
Catherine, my wife and I really appreciate how relaxed you hike the trails. We have hiked with groups (and individuals) who seem to think hiking is a race. It’s truly a pleasure relaxing and watching your videos! Thank you for taking us along.
So beautiful! I just spent the last 45 days in Colorado. Obviously just scratched the surface on it’s beauty. Thanks for sharing this stunning hike.
Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing. Blessings
Amazing scenery, thanks for the info on how to make reservations! So much to see in Colorado.
I am speechless! Thank you for sharing the beauty Catherine!
Gosh Catherine. This was one of the most beautifully shot videos ever. Just stunning. I am trapped at home in smokey NorCal. This was greatly appreciated to watch on my treadmill. Thank you.
You are very gifted and so lucky to be living the life you live!
A other awsome video. Amazing scenery your so lucky. Thank you
Wow. Just wow. I'm almost speechless. Thank you!
I was thinking that the whole time watching your hike, "this place is surreal". And then you said it too. What a special place. Added to my bucket list.
In the words of Del Que - 'I'll leave my bones on the map of the magnificent.' THAT was Magnificent.
Jeremiah Johnson
Thank you 🙏
Great video. Beautiful mountain range. Wow! Thank you for the information on accessing the bells!
Thank you Joe!
I miss the Bells. Hiked it many of times.
Wow-thank you for your amazing shots of a stunningly beautiful area which I have not seen in YEARS-
Your photography is outstanding as usual. This one is exceptional. I try to watch/listen while I work and that is not possible. Best I stop what I am doing and just watch, otherwise I miss too much.
Wow, what an awesome video. All so beautiful. I was on Independence Pass earlier this summer, I loved it too.
Ouah, what a video Catherine ! Images, scenery, angle , you show the Maroon bells as I didn t capture them. It was a pure moment of hapiness and "zenitude " . Thank you a lot !!
Hopefully we can travel again to your beautiful country soon!!! Cheers.
Cat, you are the best. There were a couple of scenes that did not look real, like a painting as you mentioned. The sound of the wind blowing through the Aspen trees was wonderful.
Absolutely stunning Catherine. You captured the true essence of the area, such an emotional and spiritual experience.
Some places are just more beautiful than others in their own way (Maroon Bells). There are so many special places that when someone asks what's your favorite you get brain lock and the only answer is yes. I went through independence pass for the first time in decades last summer. It was a lot like I remembered, but Aspen had grown all the way out to it. I loved this video. I want to say you have no idea how nice it is to see these each week from your home office in the city, but you know exactly how nice that is. So you know how much you are appreciated by kindred spirits.
Thank you so much Vern. Makes me happy to know the videos bring you joy.
You are simply adorable for taking each of us along with you on that extraordinary hike! Greatly appreciated!!
Cat, I lived in Aspen during the winter of 1977 and 1978 and skied 30 miles everyday mostly on Aspen Highlands Mountain. Back then the highest lift ended at the beginning of the Run called Steeplechase. From there I could see the Maroon Bells, but could not get there from the resort. Thank you for making it possible for me to finally see them up close and personal from your video!
Awesome! The music that accompanied the drive over the pass was beautiful!
Sunday Breakfast with Cat!
Thank you Matt!
HURRAY!!! Awesomeness. Love this area!
Wow...once again another mindblowing video...thank you Catherine for sharing all this beauty...🙏
Absolutely Beautiful, you must have felt beyond. Hard to believe in 6 weeks the tress will be yellow. First snows are always expectagious aren't they? So Beautiful Catherine; loved the music; really great.

Yes! Thank you!
We spent the summer 1969 on our honeymoon in the Colorado Rockies, so this brings back some wonderful memories. Thanks!
Wow!!! I went to Aspen once in April and that road was closed and do I couldn't drive it... now I know what I missed... thank you Cat... Gary from Snow Canyon, Utah
Yes the music was awesome with this one. I love watching your videos. The places you go are amazing. I didn't know about the bells. Thank you for all you do to produce these for us.
Beautiful video! Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Some years ago I rode my bike over Independence Pass on the Bicycle Tour of Colorado. We also had time to visit the Maroon Bells. That whole area is so beautiful!
Outstanding beauty! You dear Catherine have a special sense about you that captures sensory that few possess. Thank You.
Hi Cat, Your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Your videos are stunning. And I also love your music choices💗
The shot you got at 6:41 is one of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen. Amazing work!
Magnificent for sure! Took me almost an hour to watch because I had to keep pausing the video to see more of the details. I have to get out there soon!
Just when I think- how can the next video be better than the last one - BAM SHE DID IT AGAIN 🍻
Dear Cat 😃🍀👍big steps up to 60.000 🥳 Thank you for the amazing video and the perfect music choice🙏We spent on two times a while in Colorado, one of favourites states. 🥰 Great nature, relaxed peoples. 🖖😃 so the pictures you shared with us, gives us beautiful memories 🤩Have a great save week 🍀😃♥️your Berlin Fan Couple from 🇩🇪 , Nicole and Hardy

Quaking Aspens … glad you noticed, they are so amazingly peaceful!
That was a beautiful journey. Thanks for taking us with you.
Thank you Chad!
Ans yes, the music...so perfect, dramatic, & lovely....you rock it so well....
The first snow!? Glad you're able to experience so much of the beauty! Find it funny we go to the SaMe Places! Drove to the Snowmass trailhead this last July & was able to BP without Permits, shuttles or any requirements that I seen posted
Another amazing video! Thank you!!
Loved the sound of the aspens quaking!

You are right absolutely gorgeous picture postcard perfect makes me wonder what I'm doing here thank you again cat you are absolutely wonderful yourself 🤠🐝
You certainly captured the epic grandeur of this precious place🌟Thank you💕
While I have no plans of going full time with my camping, I am extremely happy you are!!! I enjoy "taking these trips" with you!! Your videos are always so beautiful....even when you suffer the "bumps and bruises" of life.....which I am so happy that segment is behind you!! I share your videos because you and they are so beautiful. Your music is always perfect for the scenes. And the information you provide for each adventure is without a doubt very helpful. I'm living vicariously through you and I want to thank you for taking this old widowed man along with you! My late wife would have enjoyed your channel too! She grew up in a camping family and introduced me to the marvels of camping. We enjoyed camping throughout our nearly 40 years of marriage. I bought a smaller unit after her passing and I now camp mostly where we have gone before so I can remember and retrace all the fun times we had together. Safe travels Catherine!!! ❤
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for sharing this beautiful landscape with us. Your gentle personality fits just perfect. Please stay safe!
Epic video as always. You truly have the most beautiful videos going. I appreciate that you do not use clickbait to draw us in and that you do not slap your half naked body in the scenery to reach numbers. An artist needs no such foolishness. That said, I wouldn’t look away! ROFL
😂😂😂 Thank you! I realize I could, but I choose not to. If my channel
Grows slower, so be it.
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures Agreed!
Wow. You got lucky with traffic on the pass. We got stuck in a standoff in the one lane section. We eventually sorted it out. We’ll put that maroon bells hike on our to do list. Thanks.
Good Sunday morning to you Catherine. My first reaction to spectacular scenery ,was WOW! I would love to see "The Bells" in person some day. I also couldn't help but think how different it will look in another month or so, when the Aspens change colors. You might have to revisit this magnificent place! I think the same can be said of Independence Pass. We live in such a beautiful country and God has blessed us with these wonders of nature. Thanks for taking us all along for the ride! As always, love you and be safe! 💖🙏
What an absolutely stunning video! Thanks for taking us along.
Wow! Magnificent scenery and awesome audio made for a great start to Sunday morning coffee.
Thanks for sharing your journey Cat.
Beautiful video with maroon Bells and independence Pass. Beautiful scenery all around. I’m glad you took me there to see it all in its beauty. Those flowers were just so breath taking. Thank you again Catherine for a great job by putting this all this on film. Hope you have a great night and see you next Sunday.
