I’m just out here trying to hike and maybe marvel at some prairie dogs. This place is beautiful and I’m just trying to share that. Sending love to all the hateful people of the internet.
Cotezi Hikes just keep living your dreams and explore all you can. CO is beautiful and glad to have you ❤️❤️❤️
Moved out here to CO about 18 months ago and still feeling the excitment of being here. Happy trails!
Cotezi Hikes GO HOME
J. Church don’t, thanks
@@newtonlover7741 pretty sure im going to get my whole family to move here. I have so many friends packing up to come out here, too! Atleast 15 more people on the way. Which part are you in? Can we crash at your place?
You have one of the most psychedelic vlogs on RUclips.
6:01 The fade from his voice, the music, the glancing outside, red sky, snow-capped mountains, socks on the dashboard, your eye....it's like a dream and I love it! :)
thanks?!
Move. Move! MOVE those feet on the trail!! You got more 14ers 😉 Don’t listen to these people. Population growth means job opportunities and a good economy. Maine is experiencing the youth moving out and the old dying. Things aren’t too good for Maine right now. Be proud Colorado! Things will never ever be the same. Grow to the sun or stay to the shade. You throwing your shade can’t stop my light.

Nice hiking
I'm from Florida and love that my sister @junebunchmusic always does roadtrips out west. I'm for sure a coastal gal yet I'd love to see the West.
Love the videos
Welcome to Colorado! I moved to Fort Collins about a year ago for those mountains and I love them too!! Have fun and be safe out there!!!
Glad you are back on RUclips, can’t wait for your new videos! You are such an inspiration! Lots of love from Germany!
Cotezi, YOU are who we need loving to Colorado. Yes, we hate transplants flooding the state, and I've even ranted about the Texans in the comments on this very video. But that's because so many transplants don't even preserve the Colorado culture; I've personally met countless "I just moved here froms" who have never even left the cities to see the mountains. Because of them, we have clogged roads, expensive property, and everything becoming monoculture. What we need are more people who want to hike, explore, roam, and help take care of the trails. You know, YOU. You're one in a million. We really don't like the constant Texifornians moving here, but nature people who will carry on the mountain culture are totally welcome.
Love nature people
Wow what an awesome video!🤩🥳 can’t wait to see what you got coming up next 😃 enjoy Colorado! It looks amazing😍🤩🏔⛰🏕
Loved the PCT videos! Keen to see the rest :D Your Sierra section video was awesome. - Fire ant
Despite the comments, you are definitely welcomed here. Cool video.

I was born in Colorado and I have never lived anywhere else. I do agree I do hate how many people have been moving to Colorado in this recent decade alone however you guys shouldn’t be so rude to these people. I do understand that they are starting to crowd Colorado cities but it’s still just a state like any other.
Yeah well I want them all to go away every single one of them take their politics and their bullshit with them bye-bye I have five generations of my family that are natives in Colorado and I'm the third generation and I'm telling you to get the hell out
The only people "native" to Colorado would be the Utes, Arapaho, Apache, Navajo, and Comanche. Get over yourself.
Every place in the world is getting crowded because of the success of humanity in having babies and them surviving.
Liberals have turned this state into a shithole.
Rose Engle were moving up there from Texas because we just aren't happy here. Too depressing so were going to make a new life up there hopefully for good
Nice save on the New York epicness. :) I’d love to spend more time hiking/bikepacking in Colorado but ADK is 3 hours from me in Canada and I love it! Got 10/46 peaks so far. Have a great year!
Welcome to Boulder. Hope you enjoy it. Great places do attract more people. My family and I like the newcomers. It adds so much to our lives. Been in Boulder since 1991. Hope you guys stay and enjoy.
thank you!
Welcome to boulder Colorado. I'm up the road in Longmont. Please enjoy your stay
Thanks for the video, very happy to see nice people such as yourself enjoying the beautiful outdoors. I do find your videos quite informative. Thanks again, be safe and travel well.
So excited to see your future videos! Found your previous ones so interesting and useful 🙂 all the best for the year ahead!
I'm pumped about making more consistent videos. Thank you for watching!
I'm SO glad you're posting videos again, Cotezi! LOL @ all of the haters in these comments. Seriously. I'm hoping to move out west at some point within the next year or two for the same reasons you did, and I dare someone to call me an "entitled white girl" to my face simply for taking the opportunity to live somewhere incredible. I can't wait to see more trail videos! I'd love to see one on how you actually pulled the trigger and made the move happen. :) Also, keep making videos on how you eat vegan and any good spots out in Colorado! You're amazing and I am so happy for this new chapter in your life!
Love your style, so fun to watch 💚
I don't know how I stumbled on your video, but girl, I think we're soul sisters. My heart has always rested in CO, one day it'll be home. I'm planning on hiking the CT this summer, maybe our paths will cross! Love and peace to you 💕
Really enjoyed your past videos. Glad you're back at it.
What do you do for a living, bc Living in Boulder is expensive, and it seems like you never work?
😂😂😂😂
Stoked to see some more content. 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Thrilled you’re posting again. Welcome to our beautiful state. ❄️🕊
Nice, looking forward to your new whats in my backpack video (maybe with a little info on why the certain item was swapped to another).
And welcome to Colorado, it's my dream place to live too! :D
Thank you!
Love your videossss!!! :) All your videos and pictures of your hikes are amazing and inspiring, thanks for sharing your adventures and majestic places.
Laura Wenk THANK YOU LULY ❤️
Congrats on the move. I'll most likely end up in Colorado after my national park adventure this spring, summer, and fall
Don't come here! We don't want yous here!! People come here, jack up the price and leave 🖕 stay out of Colorado...
Welcome! Since it looks like RMNP is a place you enjoy, you should really try hitting the trail that goes from bear lake to fern lake! Only during the summer since you'll go past a couple of avalanche chutes. Besides, the shuttle only runs during the summer. Simple process....park at the park and ride on the way to bear lake, hop on the shuttle that takes you to bear, hike up from bear(3 miles)heading to fern(6 miles down hill) then hop the shuttle back to the P&R. About a 4 hour trip. Passing 4 lakes along the way. Good times!!✌
Great video editing, and nice music. Thanks for showing us.
Welcome to COLO you two. Looking forward to more of your adventures.
Thank you for posting this. I was planning on relocating to Boulder or Western Denver this spring but Mr. Covid-19 delayed those plans. I'm hoping for fall this year. Stay Safe, stay blessed.
Happy New Years, Was wondering what Happened to Ya.. Such a Treat to Watch..
I love your videos! Your shoe video helped me decide what shoes I should get to hike around Zion. I ended up with Altras and absolutely loved them, so thank you for that recommendation! Also, Boulder is my favorite place in the country but currently in Fl wishing I was living there 99% of the time! Hopefully one day I’ll convince my bf to move with me! I’d love to see more videos!
I live in Kansas and we REALLY have no mountains. Colorado is a beautiful state and I hope to live there one day. would love to spend every weekend exploring Colorado.
Great news, love watching your adventures.. your videos are the best! 😎
Looking forward to more videos!
LOVE the quicksilver girl song!!!!!!!!!!!!
1. Can't believe the hate you're getting from some commenters.
2. LOL @ them anyways bc there's no way CO is worse than the Bay Area, Portland, or Seattle
3. Can't wait to see more of your video footage :)
Backcountry Emily Thanks Emily ❤️
Backcountry Emily - yeah! 👏👏👏
Great to see your back. Great footage! I briefly ran into on the trail on Mt. Whitney last August. And that song was 💚
I think I remember! Were you on the way up?
@@CoteziHikes i was on the way down. You were on your way up to the summit. I was the guy that you recorded while having a brief talk about gear. Oh we spoke about glasses you mentioned the new ones you had that have the magnetic sunglass shades you cant place on easily.
Great to see your smiling face! Your videos and posts are so inspiring to me. I have big dreams of doing trips like yours but feel overwhelmed by barriers, at times. Financial, logistical, relationship, dog, etc. How do you navigate barriers like these/do you have them? Maybe a future video if it's a long answer...?
Welcome to Colorado!
excited to watch your adventures, new and old! fun vid!!
you also inspired me to finally edit my camino de santiago portugal section hike from 2017, so thanks! check it out on my channel if you get a chance...
Wow, to hear such hateful comments about someone following their dreams seems the opposite of Hiker feels. I think before newbie hikers leave maybe the yuppies who work in high rise offices who shop at REI and drive land rovers WHO NEVER HIKE OR CAMP should leave first. 🤔. That’s the same mentality these hateful comments are coming from. I also found it funny that one of the hateful comments comes from a guy trying to post that he’s all Zen and a yogi on IG 🤮 Further more it’s wealthy retirees moving in building million dollar cabins that raises land values and taxes etc etc etc..... it’s economics. It’s not hikers
Janelle Otero I’m just out here trying to hike and maybe marvel at some prairie dogs. This place is beautiful and I’m just trying to share that. Sending love to all the hateful people of the internet.
Subscribed.
And stoked to see another happy non native Coloradan.
Maybe we will pass eachother on trail some day.
Also from New York, Now in Denver for the last few years. TIP: The mountains will never look right in video or pictures. Don't ask me why but they never look as good...
Go home...
Awesome video! Colorado is the best isn’t it ;)
Hi, I just came across your channel and subscribed! I'll have to catch up on your other videos to know more about you! Thanks for sharing!
Love the 40% rule.
Come visit Telluride, Colorado!!! Beautiful place!!!
I've never been to Colorado but pretty much the only reason I'd want to visit is to hike that awesome beautiful countryside/backcountry over there :D This video just adds to those dreams :D Great share!
thank you!
Working on my 13'ers list! Only about 500 more to go. Maybe I'll catch you on the trail! Stay safe and roam free!
Ring the Peak, around 63miles trail around Pikes Peak....Colorado Springs
Welcome to Colorado! Boulder is beautiful. Enjoy all the snow sports. 😁
Really curious to the gear switches you made in your backpack! Hope you share it in a video or maybe a text post some time :)
I’ve heard that Boulder is a great place for adventure. I love your editing! 👌
So is Montana, Idaho and Wyoming... Go there, plenty of room, same exact mountains... Stay away from Colorado.. thanks...
@@gregorymartinez7540 bro what do you own the planet? No, fuck off
I have been out of touch. How are your feet/achilles doing?
Hi.. we’re planning to move to Colorado Spring this coming June 2021. Do you have a good city recommendation?
Welcome to Boulder!
Hey. Loved the video, footage. And super loved the music. Who is that??
Quicksilver girl - Nellie McKay
I forgot I was subscribed to you. I hope you continue to post. You could have a big channel if you want that.
Glad to see you back on youtube.
Ive aways enjoyed your videos.
I too am a NYer, a few more years until retirement (FDNY), then its off to CO or UT. I cant wait. Lol
NY has the Catskills and Adirondacks, which I love but look forward to the big boys out west.
Same here. Cuomo and his policies are driving a lot of us Upstate NYers out of the state. HE claims its "because of the weather". What an idiot he is.
Yesss! This is good! More videos! 💎
thank you! O.K.!
Will be there in less than 7 days. Already have a job. Coming from the south but have lived on the East Coast... How are you liking it now ? Ill be near Boulder..
Heads up chitaqua is the most popular spot in boulder! It can become unbearable with everyone there during the summer.
I've lived in Colorado my whole life but I've recently been wanting to move to new york but I dont know where to start. (Saving and where in ny I should start) Any advice?
Yes: don’t.
Glad ya are back in action posting! Happy New Years and looking forward to more of your videos
What part of New York are you from? I'm from the city and we definitely don't have mountains but traveling through New York state is a different experience.
Be sure you make it up here to Steamboat for the Flat Tops and the Zirkel Wilderness! Welcome to CO!!!!
AH! Yes. I actually was just there for Xmas and fell in love. I literally cannot wait to explore the Flat Tops and that whole area!!!
If you’re moving here just tell everyone you’re a native and get a AWD/4WD car with a spare set of winter tires and you’ll fit in dandy otherwise prepare for the overcrowding and high cost of living lecture.
Please more videos!!!!
good pick up point. Much much more west of there. you'll see. :) Michael
Hey, do you use any sort of gimbal for your shots or do you stabilize in post? Love your shots!
No gimbal. I stabilize sometimes but not often (it can tend to give off a weird look sometimes). A few of the shots in this vid that look like I used a gimbal was from inside a moving car with the window open lol. Also, I make the people I hike with walk with a very steady hand while filming me lol.
It seems you have a lot of editing to do! That's easily the hardest and least enjoyable part. I met you briefly someone where on the PCT as I was heading north. Good to see you back!
Ooh, was it right outside of shelter cove??
Show us some ADK love... winter there is definitely epic in its own way!
Keep making more videos
Happy New Year. Watching this made my day! Great edit.
So cool to hear. Thank you!
I live in fl and it sucks balls the beach is red tide half the year and if you dont have the beach there's NOTHING unless your spending money tourist traps I want real freedom I wanna go to Colorado so bad the culture is BEAUTIFUL to me how did you go about moving if you dont mind me asking ??
Some of these comments are just disgraceful, as a possibly ignorant European I don't understand the reason for them.
Michael Baker Fellow European here 👋🏼 I agree, there’s some sad sad people out there. Freedom of movement!! We never learned anything by putting up walls and not meeting any strangers...
Not all Americans are bullies. Much of us want to laugh and live. Please visit :) we hope to show you a good time. CO is beautiful. I’m from Upstate NY and we do have some nice Mountains here :):) and VT and NH and Maine 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
the reason is Colorado is getting flooded with people who cant afford to live in the state they came from because they have been voting for feel good liberal politicians and policies for decades so they flee and then vote for the same stuff here and then are surprised when it has the same outcome.
@Michael Baker Colorado used to be an under priced gem, closer in living quality to what you see in the midwest. Cheap prices, cheap housing, and easy access to the mountains. Since then, in the last 10 years - tons of people have been moving into Denver & Boulder. This boost mirrors what has been happening in metro areas around the US either way. As higher paying jobs came into the area - the "natives" didn't adapt, didn't learn new skills to get the new, better higher paying jobs. Prices climbed - particularly in housing, but they kept on doing what they were always doing. Their paycheck hasn't risen to the same degree that cost of living has, and eventually everything costs more now. It's basically really, really self-entitled laziness (and yet they blame the libruls for not working hard). If you have an education and are willing to work, CO is a great place to be now.
I'll tell you why I'm a Colorado Native the reason that people are so mean towards this woman is because she brings her politics her non-working ass obviously she doesn't work and just bringing her all the bullshit here taking the jobs causing people because of that it caused our cost of living to go up over 100% over 100% five years ago I paid one-third of what I pay now actually I make over $20 an hour and I can't afford a one-bedroom apartment in Denver it started when a whole bunch of people started moving here so they can smoke weed I say take your ass home
Gear list would be great
you are beautiful; what a life; take care.
The Adk Mts are definitely different than anything in Colorado. They are really amazing!
The ADK are beautiful! It's so funny cuz I made that video a week before actually heading to NY for a couple weeks to visit family. We ended up having such a magical epic time winter hiking the high peaks in ADK and had my mind blown!
okay okay Colorado makes the ADK look super small..hope you enjoy the scenery and trails..it looked COLD
They are just completely different. And ADK in winter is colder, I think!
well I guess you'll have to do some awesome winter hiking and make a video ...the cold conditions at 14k are pretty sweet I'll bet..enjoy your new place
Colorado is my favorite state and I subscribed! :D
Colorado is cool..... you will do well....
Yay! :)
Whoah I don't get the hate. Welcome to Colorado! I'm also nearby in Longmont aka Boulder's Brooklyn :)
thanks dude!
Justin Hikes yo I live in Longmont too
How do you know when the 40% has been 'done' ? :-)
COLORADO GANG!!
Great videos! I just moved to Denver from NY in July. I'm loving it as well. Message me if you'd like to connect and make some new hiking friends.
How are you liking it so far. ?
40% rule - short term you can push yourself a lot, but long term (years from now) your joints may pay for it by getting damage. Take that from an older guy like me.
Uhh I think we live in the same building.. Lol... Welcome to Boulder!!!
Welcome to Colorado.
That winter 14er footage though🤭
The gust almost blowing MCK off the mountain is my fave shot ever.
LOL It's not August 2019 yet... you posted that date on the mountain
yeah its me in the future
