- Today we're headed out on one of the most INCREDIBLE scenic drives (or rides!) that I've done in Colorado: LAST DOLLAR ROAD! This 20-ish mile scenic road takes you through the San Juan Mountains and into Telluride. We'll be stopping in Ridgeway at one of my favorite places, Gnar Taco, before heading into Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park for a few nights of motorcycle camping.

This PanAm series is getting published VERY late and sporadically lol! It's been fun reliving some of my best days on two wheels while editing these videos. Whats your favorite road in Colorado? Bonus points if it's unpaved because I want to hear ALL about it!!
I must confess only watching your vids when you ride adv bikes, sorry, your voice calms my soul, don't know why...
Watching these camping videos really want to make me step out of my comfort zone and try motorcycle camping. Looks like fun and a real learning curve. Keep them coming Staci!
@@silveriojohanhaha well my voice is the same in all of my videos no matter the motorcycle being ridden. Luckily ADV content is here to stay, it’ll be sprinkled in with all the other stuff!
@@ridetofood thanks
I enjoed the from co springs to the mtns and back to denver plus mile high where the outdoor theater is
Thanks for stopping in at the Basecamp of the Rockies, Gunnison CO! We have 3000+ miles of forest road and BLM road in our county, and the adventure and beauty are REAL. Come back and ride with us. You can sample some of the roads on GunniMoto.
Spent a couple of says at Black Canyon four or five years ago, coming from the Springs. Had a rental Street Glide and took it down into the canyon. Park Ranger thought I was crazy since it’s so steep. 😂. Thanks for helping me relive that trip!
I love your vids Staci! Great film quality, great sound, great voiceover and beautiful music, and even a history lesson or two. 😊 They could be two hours long and still be interesting and entertaining. I always smile and have a great time watching, and i also get hungry 😉 Just keep up the great work! Much love from Norway! 💖😊
Thank you so much! 😊
Makes me almost want to start riding an adventure bike. Great video. That sunset was amazing. Thank you for sharing
Finally watched!!! Great video as normal! I hope to get to CO one day…
Thanks for taking us along
Thanks for an amazing vlog! I always get so happy when I get the notification of a new vlog. Safe riding 🤙
Thanks Chris!!!
We have some nice rides here in Quebec but nothing like Colorado!! Thanks for taking us along can't wait for the next video 🤘
Not much compares to the Rockies! :) Thanks for watching, as always! 🤘
So many awesome views. I stopped playing this episode on my phone and moved it to the big screen TV. excellent cool 😎
Haha awesome! Thanks for watching!
I camped about 8 nights on lone peak in the winter. It was amazing. Great video
haha wild! Sounds like quite the experience. Thank you! :)
Such a cool video. The views were amazing! I would love to add this to the bucket list. Your eggs looked 10/10 Great job!!
Damn, everywhere you rode looked like a damn painting! Just gorgeous in those mountains!
Wasn’t it incredible?! Definitely a bucket list ride!
Beautiful is an understatement!!!
Loved the Black Canyon NP and that campground is a hidden gem. Had the whole place to myself! Couldn’t believe something that amazing was empty. The (short) walk in is totally worth it. And the ride down to it is great. Definitely the best time of year to ride CO. The 92 is a good one.
Stunning views. Thanks for taking us along. Great video as always.
Absolutely gorgeous, Colorado. My favorite state!
Gorgeous fall colors in Colorado. Best time of the year to visit in my opinion. Good job!
Agreed!!
Great video thank you very well done as always thanks for taking us along cheers to ya.
Really cool park. Also some great ideas for meals when I go camping this summer. 🙂
Awesome video! Really pretty. I have been all over Colorado but never there. It's on my list. Those Chilaquiles looked very good. Best!
Thank you! The full recipe is on my blog + there's a video on the channel! :)
@@ridetofood Yea , I just watched. That’s a great tip on getting chips to go at a restaurant. They give you tons anyway! Best!
Have you ever tried Shakshuka? It’s similar to Chilaquiles but with Middle Eastern spices.
@@creedm3040 I haven't tried it but it's on my list! waiting on my moto camp cookbook from @asthemagpieflies!
Your videos are fantastic, we stayed tuned from start to finish. Thanks
So beautiful!!! Thinking back on my dirt bike days you had quite a work out riding those roads.
I love how much more of a workout off road riding is. makes all the snacks that much more enjoyable and guilt-free. hah!!!
👍👍👍👍👍 thanks for sharing Staci!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for watching and enjoyin’ them!!
Great video!
The scenery of the views you filmed is just beautiful. I sure hope that one day I'm able to ride there and experience that area of the country. Well done!
Great video! My wife and I live in Grand Junction and frequent those areas. Especially Gnar Tacos!
Awesome!!
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
The San Juans are my favorite place to ride in Colorado! Great video, Staci!
They are MAGICAL! Thanks for watching, Art!!
@@ridetofood BTW, the food in this episode was slapping! 🤤
Spectacular sights, spectacular eats, keep ‘em coming! Thanks!
Thanks, will do! 🤘

Absolutely stunning!
Colorful Colorado putting on a show! 🏍️💨🍂🍁

Man I didn't really realize how much I miss home 🥹🥺😔 see the mountains again just makes me happy
I was just binging on your past videos and just seen this one pop up! Nice! Love your content, Staci. Godspeed!!
Haha thank you for rewatching them!!! I swear it won’t be 5 weeks until another one is up! 😎🤘
@@ridetofood Glad to hear!! 🤙
Just amazing scenery! So glad you used a drone to capture some of beautiful countryside! I’m just amazed at the tasty food you cook at your campsite, you cook better than I do at home! 😂 Absolutely wonderful videos and certainly makes want to get out and travel some of these places!
I just discovered your channel. I really enjoyed this video. Subscribed!
I love your off road adventures, more please :)

Beautiful scenery and great video as always.
Thank you very much!
The scenery in this video is top notch. Great video Staci
Colorado makes it easy sometimes 😎🏔️🤘 Thank you as always for tunin’ in when I get a new video up!
Hoping to head that direction this summer. You gave me a few more spots to check out on my road trip. Very cool vid, Staci!
Thanks Carla!! You cannot go wrong with anything or any place in the San Juans or the area just north of it. Gorgeous region!!
Stunning footage! 🤘🤘
Thanks fam! 🤘
Great video - thanks for introducing me to this national park. Been by it many times but never stopped in. On my list now. Ride safe and keep the cool content coming!
Thanks Mark! You'll love it when you get time to visit. It's fairly small but well worth checking out
Great video. Loved it. You're so lucky to be living in Colorado.
It was the best time of my life!
Very nice vlog. Thx!
Thank you!
This was such a cool video. I have not heard of Gunnison National Park. And as always Colorado is like living in a painting. 💯✌🤟🤘
A Bob Ross special 🏔️🌲
All I can say is "WOW". I've driven past Black Canyon in a cage and sure enjoyed seeing what I missed. Thanks so much
for sharing this
Glad you enjoyed it! 🤘 you’ll have to get back there sometime
Awesome video, so great to hear you narrate, no one does it like you. Your breakfast and dinner looked so good. The views were spectacular for sure. Thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it!
Another great drop! Beautifully shot and edited. The Colorado colors were stunning and the food shots made me hungry instantly.
Thanks Tim!!
We tried the taco spot in Las Vegas NM this past weekend . ❤
Awesome!!
Man o man I love your videos and your camping breakfast made me soooo hangry lol i love that you wear the gear and do not chit chat the entire time on the road but dub in comments perfectly timed. A great example of moto vlogging... I am a bit too old to take on the pan american but have friends that love them. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! :)
Return of the ChileèQuillesss!!
It’s actually the same batch of them! I just released the recipe video much faster. 🤣🤘

Traveling with you seems like a lot of fun
a whole lot of "we gotta stop so I can film a youtube video"
But your videos on CZcams are very good, fun and provide a lot of information
The Black Canyon of The Gunnison is one of those places that once it gets in your blood, you can ride it over and over again and never see the same things twice! Traveling up the dirt road is what we call, "Earning Your Turns!" as the road to the bottom and back up again is one of the better kept secret roads around my back yard. Thanks, Staci so much for visiting and really showing off our little corner of the world! Check out Grand Mesa some time, Cedaredge and the rest of my backyard! Wicked awesome video!
Thank you! 😊🤘 grand Mesa is definitely on the list to do on an ADV!
What a great job you did on this episode. I'm going to be taking that road this summer on my cross country series. You are really producing quality shows right now, lady! Way to go!!! Stay safe, sweetie and enjoy the ride. 😊
Thank you!
So happy to see this going up. You told me at AdvFest23 that you had some good stuff to post and it doesn't disappoint!
Mario's is a favorite and I lived in the town where Left Hand makes that Milk Stout. Good stuff as usual! Thanks Staci!
Love it!! Yeah I’m a little behind on this series and it’ll be a littttle while longer until I get to the next episode from this trip (got some sponsored videos I gotta get to first) but ADV content is here to stay on the channel! 😎🤘
"Bone apple teeth, y'all." 😅 Keep on!
glad ya got a giggle out of that! haha
You always do a nice job but this episode was really nice. It had good pace, content and food. Well done.
Thank you! It was actually really hard to edit and took me weeks to finish. Haha! Appreciate the kind words!
im a CO local planning to learn to ride this summer. got a couple classes scheduled. want to be able to do some bike camping! these videos are great for keeping my eyes on the prize
Love this for you!!
Milk Stout for the win! I love that you're reliving these moments and putting the videos together so long after the fact. It inspires me to do the same. I am so behind in my editing that I gave up on the projects. I haven't posted a full-length video in almost a year and I miss it. I'm going to blow the dust off those projects. Great work and those views are amazing!
Totally get it! I have over a dozen videos to edit that are over a year old at this point. It was hard to deal with originally, as my OCD insists things get posted in chronological order. But I've slowly began to realize that most people are okay with seeing things later rather than never. Blow that dust off!!! :)
@@ridetofood Thanks for that, Staci! Glad I'm not the only one. OCD + ADD + Perfectionsim = No Complete Projects for me.
I'll get out the chisel and start chipping away! ✌️
Great video, wish I had seen this before finishing my ride through Colorado 10 days ago. While traveling on Hwy 50 eastward, I pass through Gunnison, had a minor engine light issue while going over Monarch Pass and stayed the night in Canon City before stopping in at Outpost HD in Pueblo for an oil change. Will have to re-visit later in October.
So much to see and so little time! glad you got your bike sorted, though!
The food 🥘 is Awesome mmmmm good so Good 😊
Haha glad you enjoyed it!!
Another excellent video! I know i always comment "when are you gunna get a pan am?" but i'll do it again. LOL. Bike seems to suit you. Lots of used ones with only a few thousand miles at like 12/13k. Either way, looking forward to the next one. Ride safe.
I’d rather buy one new and have a warranty + not have the anxiety of wondering why someone sold it. Worked in dealerships for many years and saw many nightmare used motorcycles come in on trade. Most people do not take care of their bikes the way they should 🤣
Anyway - can’t afford one right now so I’ll own one when I can!
Nice video keep up the good work sweetie
thanks coach!
Shoutout gnar tacos! You should also check out eatery 66! Super good food!
ill save it for next time!!
I hung in there with you right up until the smores and beer. Oy!
haha! nitro oatmeal stouts go well with the double decker s'mores!!
Your a hell of a camping chef you should put out a cook book.
Haha it’s in the five year plan. It’s a lot more work than anyone thinks it is. For now I’ll let my friend Amanda Zito rule the world with hers that she just finished! 🤘
@@ridetofood as long as I have been watching your channel I have loved everything you've cooked while camping. I definitely enjoy the places you go and eat gives me inspiration when I finally get retired and hit the road for good!
@@kenkenyon444 Thank you! :)
@@ridetofood very welcome
God I wish that I was in Colorado
lol iiii understand!
Wow!! Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing. subbed & 👍996
cool video thanks for bringing me on the trip. Why are cooking better than me while camping and on bike? Shoutout from westmonroe la.
Just doin what I do!!
@@ridetofood 👍
👌👌👌
👏👏👏👏
Harley needs to buy the photo at 6:06 from you to sell this bike.
In case H-D Reads this: i'll take a panam as payment ;)
I flew out to Colorado and rented a Jeep and drove Last Dollar Road a couple of years ago. Amazing drive. What month/days were you there that you filmed this? The snow capped peaks and aspens with full color look absolutely amazing and I’d like to plan my next trip at the right time to be able to see all this. When I went it was mid July so it wasn’t this pretty.
Other areas with cool off road trails you should check out is Grand Mesa, also in that general area.
I think early October but honestly, the fall foliage peaks at slightly different times every year. Late September/early October is usually a safe bet though.
I'm to chicken to camp alone. Not sure if I'd be more scared of animals or my thoughts 🫠. 😅
the random noises outside the tent are definitely more scary than whatever goes through my brain LOL!
What sauce(red) was that in the pan you covered chips with?
Enchilada - the recipe is linked in the video description!
First!
YEW!!!
iM if your in northern ark would like to ride with yall...
right on!
Doesn't it concern you making wonder smells in bear country?
lol not at all.
