Colorado has turned into a shit hole
let's make 44 thous and pay 9'000 in taxes. to pay for the wetbacks in Denver!
The Poudre canyon drive is gorgeous, NW of Ft. Collins...
160 per person and no food included...seems like a ripped off
4:15, Im european and im quite surprised that Americans tell other Americans to go back to their State where they were born when literally they are on the same land like i don't get it lol why do Americans from Colorado would say things like " Go back to your State " when they are American like it doesnt make sense, it would be so awkward to tell anyone from my country to go back to their region it just doesnt make sense at all.
Do they have lap lanes? If so, what’s the lap lane water temperature and lane length? Thanks.
What about Aspen? Maroon Bells the most photographed mountain in the lower 48 states.
I was going to say the same thing he is mispronunciation Ouray.
Is there any barbecue area near blue river ?
Is this a 2 hr trip total? Do you ever get down or is it just a ride
Wife & I lived in Gleneagle, just north of the Co Springs city limits for 9 yrs. We were actually closer to Monument, a legendary mining town. Loved it. Our son & family lived in Castle Rock, a fast-growing city between Co Springs & Denver. Awesome town. I'd avoid Denver unless you love crazy traffic & all the other trappings of the largest city in the state.
This summer I drove from FairPlay to Buena Vista and it was the craziest driving I have ever seen. Passing on a two lane road when it’s not safe was common😊
Its pronounced Youray,
I agree on most of these towns. I used to travel from SE Tn. to do the Bicycle Ride of Colorado. I had almost covered from New Mexico to Wyoming on a bicycle. The only town I didn't like was Estes Park, too many foreigners. The next day on June 20th there was a blizzard on Trail Ridge Rd. I've trained in 95 degree heat, what kind of blizzard is this? Oh it be a blizzard alright but how many people from Tn. have even seen a blizzard. We saw it and climbed a mountain in it. lol My favorite town was Pagosa Springs but there were a lot of good ones. Creede was the coldest night I ever stayed in a tent, the water bottles froze on the bikes. This was always the third week of June. It's cold but a great place to ride a bicycle. I know you're wondering if we climb Mt. Evans since it's the highest paved road in North America, yes we did. Going up was much better than descending on that road.
I grew up in Bailey Colorado. I think we are all in this together.
cost of living -- marijuana -- everythings HIGH in the mountains -- we love it
Nicely presented. ty!
I'm looking to move soon. What are some good areas to rent in? Single, 40s, blk woman. Need to be near public transportation. TIA ❤
I am going to assume Denver area? Any of the other major cities in CO (besides Denver) have TERRIBLE public transportation. Westminster, Littleton, Lakewood or Wheatridge would all be sizeable suburbs that are more or less considered to be Denver and should be populated enough to warrant a capable public transit system.
@@HashtagColoradoLife honestly I'm open. I'll just be coming without a car, which is why I'd need the transit system
I got my first earache at Mount Princeton that would be in the late 60s early 70s
Where Democrats want to make more money by charging everyone that has a pet an annual fee of $8.00 to $20.00 for each pet you have. at 67% out of the 5.8 million people have pets. Colorado government has become a money hungry.
I Recommend Bishop's Castle
The front range area has bad traffic because large subdivisions are built before the roads are improved. This leads to overcrowding and bad driving. Then when it is too late and all of the extra drivers are on the roads the highway department closes lanes to improve them compounding the problem.
Too true. And by the time they finish upgrading a road, they realize it was appropriate for 5 yrs ago and have to start all over.
Where are some high altitude drives within 3 hours to Denver open in October? I know many scenic high altitude roads close come the end of September /:
In my experience, high elevation roads and passes throughout the state usually remain open until the weather dictates otherwise -- usually Oct/Nov. Some years there will indeed be a storm that blasts thru and closes things early. Also gravel and other lower quality constructed roads tend to close earlier as they are harder to maintain. But to answer your questions, the first two roads that come to mind close to Denver is Pikes Peak highway and Trail Ridge Road in RMNP.
Hike the Manitou Springs Incline!
Yes! Do this! And bring water.. and when you think you have enough, get some more!
Super helpful! Thank you
That’s so true about the housing market. Wait a day and it’s gone. We bought our house site unseen as well.
It good to see the housing market not be WHITE HOT like it was for a while.. but cost of homes still blows my mind when I look at Zillow or something for the funzies.
Agreed, we’re coming from Los Angeles so Colorado Springs is cheap by comparison, but we also looked at Oregon and Washington and Colorado fell somewhere in the middle.
11:34 The Jeep Rubicon TJ is a great vehicle to have there
Small, high clearance trucks (like the jeep) are so much more practical in the mountains compared to big ol pickup.
Buena vista? I think it's pronounced BWAINA!!!nO?
😊 I'm listening to the wallflowers One headlight😊 I bet the headlights in this town are a lot brighter❤
Used to offer group tours of the Manitou grands a cave alongside cave of the winds. It was an unimproved cave, you took flashlights and throwaway clothes because you were getting muddy, great experience.
Sand Dunes national park is not near Crestone is not associated with Crestone. As far as towns, it is closest to Alamosa. Sandune’s are 54 miles and one hour away from Crestone. There are so many small towns in Colorado and I’ll tell you Breckenridge and steamboat are not considered two of them. I think you need a little more research. I’ve lived in Colorado for over 30 years. I’ve been to all these places.
The boundaries of the town of Crestone quite literally butt up against the Natl Park so to say it's far off is wrong. It is NOT a quick or straightforward drive to the visitor center from there tho and is indeed an hour plus.
@@HashtagColoradoLife yours is a very petty response. I don’t think it matters where the park “butts up to.” you cannot get into the park from the Crestone area. I think all that matters to a tourist or visitor is where you would need to be to get into the park and how far away is that?
The state is sheltering thousands of California refuges a month. Give it a rest.
Boulder over Steamboat, and you are a native. LMAO
Im planning to visit Vancouver, Canada next year and were also thinking to fly over to Colorado from Vancouver as one of my bucketlist!
Sounds like a great trip!
Hi. Just want some tips, when is the best month to visit Colorado? Im planning to go there in April or maybe Sept / Oct. What do you reckon?@@HashtagColoradoLife
I moved to the Lafayette area, it’s relatively affordable, close to boulder/flatirons, far away enough from the city to feel more insulated yet close enough to utilize any big stores we might need. Despite the summer heat, it’s still much more pleasant than southeast Texas. I like the crisp air, the views of the flatirons put my window, and have gone on plenty of hikes
Nothing in Colorado is cheap!
Number 5 Colorado Creates the Homeless like some other states, Colorado targets conspiring robbing there tax payers/ Rob them of everything they got locking them up to defame there name on false charges to create homelessness mainly ''Pueblo
number 9 local Haters your wrong bro? You don't know Colorado, ....,they help people from everywhere else except there own People
Food suck ,no culture at all unless your white and says alot .. the racism is Unbelievable. The weather is ok but to get to any water you go 2 to 3 hrs in the mountains and then get stuck on the 70 In traffic
I lived in Colorado all my life. I will never live anywhere else. I enjoyed my trips to the mountains with my friends we never had so much fun. I live further from the mountains but I enjoy the view. Enjoyed going to Cripple Creek, Aspen, and Estes Park.❤️🏔️🌲☀️🦌
Colorado is for real outdoorsmen
Uneven audio. Your voice trails off into a guttural mush.
It has to be a youtube thing then. I don't have any explanation for it. Everything is good to go in the editing software and sounds good and even in pure MP4 format but as soon as it goes up, my voice goes all over the place! This has happened on about half the videos we post. Grrrr
Riding the trains in Colorado is a great vacation.
We agree, we love riding on the trains in Colorado! Thanks for watching!
The Royal Goege bridge costs so much. It used to be free when I was a kid.
Yes, it costs a lot more to visit the Royal Gorge Bridge than it used to unfortunately. But it's such an epic experience too!
I absolutely loved this video! You do a wonderful job of each and every one of your videos. Having lived in Colorado Springs for 5 years during 1987--1991, your videos make me "homesick". Every one of your videos is enjoyable and educational. GG😎❤
Thank you so much for watching and your support! Maybe you can come back to visit the Springs soon! 😊
Red Rocks theater hosted Billy Graham in the mid 1960s. I know because I was there.
although it was great informative video with alot of research .but it would rather be way better if u make video by your own inspite of using some pictures and roll it on video compilation .
Actually, many of the videos and photos used in our videos are taken and filmed by us as we visit these locations in the state often! Thanks for watching.
I moved to Colorado from Ohio in 2014. I love weed, but absolutely did not move here for weed - I got EXCELLENT weed in Ohio. I moved for the mountains. I was raised on hunting and fishing and NW Ohio doesn’t serve an outdoor lifestyle well (unless you consider nodding off in a heated tree blind hung in an acre stand of trees waiting for a whitetail to be “outdoorsy”). The wild country and public access to national forest lands is everything I wanted moving here, and it didn’t disappoint. Everything else apart from the topography has been a disappointment. The increasing liberalization, the shallow, subtle, stick-up-ass mentalities of the people, the absurd prevalence of “rescue” dogs adopted then given ZERO serious training, and, above all else, the cost of living, have soured me on this place permanently. I wish covid had taken a lot more of humanity off the earth, but though it failed me there, it did open up remote work. I can now move to northern reaches of the Midwest where I still have fly fishing, snowboarding, expansive forests, ample water, much of that water holding trout, and the most down-to-earth and modest people in the country. I’m out of Colorado May 2025 and it can’t come a day soon enough. Oh - you’ll get arrested if you blow over .05, not .08 here. They keep that fact pretty quiet, but a DWAI has almost no difference to a DUI, and if you blow .05+ twice in your LIFETIME here, you might as well have blown a 0.18 within weeks of each other. Once you blew over .05 once, you get full-blown DUIs at 0.05 and it will never reset the counter. Ever.
Thanks for sharing your perspective, we appreciate the support.
I am a native who also is a USAF veteran. I have left Colorado and enjoyed other places more however I always come back. 5 generations of my family keep bringing me back. I do not like hiking or skiing, leave that to my brother. I am the deep sea fishing type and love tropics. I do not partake of m.j. or alcohol or anything so there is the downside of that lifestyle. This is home though so I bloom where I was originally planted.
WOW this is the most mature comment on RUclips I have ever read. You sound like you are very self aware and know yourself. I applaud that.
