Finally a continuous ride without frame changing every 2 seconds, with no music, just the engine. Also, the view is stunning. Congratulations!

A lovely reminder of why Colorado is the best. A beautiful production!
Thanks so much!

Thanks mate !
Amen 🙏☀️
I will definitely see this place one day.
I am trying to imagine what it must have been like for the early explorers that were heading toward california as part of a wagon train and seeing such beautiful scenery for the first time in their life after growing up on the East Coast...? absolutely phenomenal!! Thank You
I know from my own experience the impact heading west and seeing the natural beauty has on me the first time we made the trip from the Midwest, I can only imagine what it must’ve been like for people who never even saw these places on TV or in photos.
Considering all the trees and the landscape, they could well have been too busy clear a road and working to get the wagons over the mountains, I don't think the scenery was at the top of their minds.
I don’t think they paid too much attention to the natural beauty after riding for a few weeks in a wagon😊
Probably paranoid about surviving. More than the views
I want to go there.
This drive will always remind me of my grandma. She lived in Longmont and had a lifetime pass to Rocky Mountain National Park. When I'd visit we would regularly spend the day driving a big loop from Longmont to Estes then take 34/Trail Ridge Road all the way to Granby, head down to Highway 70 with the final leg of the trip being whichever route was easiest to get back to Longmont. Sometimes we'd go on that drive two or three days in a row but always at least once per visit. It never got old but we did. Life goes by so fast. She's gone now but some of her ashes rest along those roads and next to a stream at my aunt's family's cabin just outside of Empire. To know she will always be part of one of nature's grandest creations is the most comforting thing I can imagine.
💙 Thanks for sharing your story!
Visited my daughter this June and we took that drive. It was incredible! I am from the Texas Gulf Coast and was amazed to see Pelicans in Grand Lake....thought I was seeing things. I looked it up and sure enough, it is on their migrattoy path and a breeding ground for them! Beautiful drive, STUNNING views!
Very cool you saw the pelicans in Grand Lake! It's such an incredible area! Thanks for watching!
That's a really nice and peaceful looking video. Professionally done, no time-lapse, no radio, no narration, just the soothing sound of the engine. You are the best, and big like for you.
Very much appreciate the kind words! Thanks!
I love Rocky mountains
So much beauty and adventure in the Rockies just waiting to be discovered.
Loved the video! I'm a native of Colorado, moved to California to be close to grandkids, MISS Colorado so much, happy to see your video. Thank you!
At least you've got lots of natural beauty in California that hopefully helps with missing Colorado. Thanks for watching!
Best of any soothing music I have ever heard. It melts my soul. Thank you.
💚
Co extremely beautiful state and so much place to explore, Rocky mountain, garden of gods, ton of beautiful lil towns, so sad i never will be there to see everything with my own eyes. To me Co is best state to visit and live if you are looking for beautiful nature and peaceful place..
Colorado is certainly one of the top states for natural beauty!
You know, I think your opening effect is one of the coolest ways to start a video and it just works so well with your subject matter.
We’re glad to hear that people enjoy the opening! Thanks for watching!
America the beautiful !
So much natural beauty in America!
Beautiful hilly car ride. With exceptional views. Thanks for the beauty.
Thank you for sharing. I have really enjoyed this.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the ride!
I’m a east coast person, never been to that part of the country. Really enjoyed your drive. Thanks.
Hope you can visit someday!
I’m glad that when you actually go there you don’t just stare straight ahead.
Yes, we definitely enjoy capturing the side views in our videos as well.
Thanks for filming my home away from home!
We share the same home away from home 😆 Thanks for watching!
One of my favorite spots to vacation. I've been on this road numerous times and it never gets old to me. Plan to visit it again next week.
I was there once, first week of August 2019. I saw many peaks covered in snow then. But in this video, I see none. Can you share your experience with me?
Very good video thanks❤
🤍
Went there in September 2022. Loved the rainbow valley
💙
I will be trekking through Colorado and Utah this July and will be sure to follow this route. Thank you.
You won’t be disappointed!
I've been following you on youtube for a while now. I am very grateful for your channel and for bringing us all those beautiful landscapes and scenery. I want to give you my most sincere thanks for all you do. Keep doing what excites you. That I will continue watching all your videos.

Thank you! Rocky Mountain high!😎🤙✌
Always listen to John Denver when we’re in Colorado!
@@AdventureEveryDay That too!🙃
What a nice view.. god is great 🕊️✨
Agree 100%
The one thing I love about living in Kansas, is that every time I see mountains, they always impress me :)
Nice to never get tired of seeing them when you're in Colorado!
We just came back from Kansas and 8 other States out West . And I feel they are all beautiful.
What impressed us, we stayed in Hay city and there's more to that town , than we thought.
It's a college town and they have a lot to do there . Kansas has pretty part of the state, (again )
all states does.
Nice just to long winter month Beautiful view from Visitor center with snow cap on mountain top
Very good this video of yours, because of it, I signed up here on your CZcams channel. The roads, American highways, are sensational, many of them, the beauty is in the native vegetation, the Pine trees. Congratulations on your post/video.🇺🇲🇧🇷❄️🌲💜

Absolutely a fun-to-drive location, the terrain is amazing, and the traffic is also super smooth, completely enjoyable experience. I wish I could drive a super luxurious car with family there.
Hope you get that chance someday!
Thank you for the spectacular video! Love it!
Wow! It's so clear; we drove this multiple times when we lived in Boulder. Thank you so much!

Hi there. Thank you very much for the great work. It was a pleasure to ride with you. I love that you left it simple without sound and comments. The inserts were on spot and helpful. Great quality and I loved that you showed us some out of the car scenes as well. That view was breathtaking. Sure I subscribed to your channel and liked the post. Looking forward to see more of you. May you always have a safe travel and take care. Greetings from Switzerland.
Thank you for subscribing! Glad to hear you enjoy our videos and the format with just the sound of the road. Can’t wait to visit Switzerland someday!
Nicely done...now you should do a video going up Old Fall River Road!!
We want to do that and Bear Lake Road next time we’re in Rocky Mountain National Park! Thanks for watching!
Oh how I love this ride. I never tired of taking it when I needed a lift and lived there. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Time saver

Nice road trip to Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado USA. Beautiful scenery along the way. So relaxing to watch. Tnx4sharing AdventureEveryDay!
Thanks for riding along with us and enjoying the views! 🧡
Очень красивая природа просто смотришь и наслаждаешся этим воздухом и этой красатой. Хочу заметить дороги просто сказка. Спасибо большое за прекрасные видео. Снимайте по больше красивых мест мир так прекрасен.
Спасибо! Мы планируем продолжать посещать более красивые места, чтобы поделиться ими со всем миром!
Went there in July 2022. It started out warm, clear and sunny in the morning, but by the time we reached the alpine visitor center around noon it was freezing rain. What a beautiful park though. Take your time driving through it and take it all in. There is so much to see!
The weather can change pretty rapidly up at those elevations for sure! Thanks for watching!
Niesamowite widoki.Super 👍👍👍💓
🤍💙
Przepiekne cudowne widoki.Rocky Mountain National Park .Zwiedzalem mam takze nagrane na vdeo .Teraz ogladajac na spokojnie dodatkowa satysfakcja.🍀🍀🍀
To na pewno wspaniały park!
Among the best travel videos I have ever watched. Millions of thanks to you. Immensely enjoyable.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoy the ride!
Cannot thank you enough. I live in the east. Now just outside Great Smokey Mountains National Park. When a kid in the 60s (yes I'm old) family went on 5 trips from coastal Ga to coastal Ca to visit relatives. Mom and dad made sure I saw this great country and we went through RMNP at least twice. A huge detour and priceless beyond belief. In college a close friend and I also went through RMNP to get to southerm Ca on summer vacation from college. I cannot begin to describe what this video did for me. The memories, emotions, introspection, longing to go back. Are engineers supposed to feel like this? As an engineer I sure would appreciate a short video on how you make these videos such as vehicle, camera, camera mount, rotating mount, image stabilization etc. I plan on looking at many more as they are also areas we visited back in another lifetime.
The Smoky Mountains are incredible as well, definitely an area we can't wait to go back to. Glad to hear our video helped relive some of those amazing memories! Thanks for watching!
Nice scenery breath taking, beautiful.
Thanks!
Beautiful!
🤍 Thanks!
مرحبا فيديو اكثر من رائع من حسن حظي انني عثرت على قناتك 🌹
نحن سعداء بوجودك ، شكرًا لك على المشاهدة!
I really really really like this landscapes! Thank you for showing us! 😄
Thanks for watching!
Nice. I last did Rocky Mountain National Park and Trail Ridge Road in 1992. I still remember the incredible views. We even did a short hike at over 12,000 ft.
You never forget an experience like that.
The air is pretty thin that high up, a short hike was probably a good idea!
@@AdventureEveryDay we actually hiked Longs Peak a few days later, I got up to 13,200ft and 14 miles round trip!
@@RichardinNC1 That’s too high for me to be hiking that much! 😆
Beautiful! When I was 4 I lived in CO for a yr and have fond memories. Nothing better than road travel, love it! Just subscribed!
Thank you for subscribing! 💙❤️
Fantastico 👍👍👍
🧡
This is the very first U.S national park where my father took me for summer vacation in Boulder, Colorado. I was so amazed by the beauty of the Rocky Mountain when I actually see it with my own eyes vs. what I had learned from the book.
Seeing places person is always amazing, especially when it’s the first time visiting!
@@AdventureEveryDay Definitely, you are absolutely right!!!
Wow! that is beautiful scenery there!Truly incredible!😮
It really is! Thanks for watching!

Definetely high on my list for our roadtrip to The West in september this year. We will start from Denver and return back after 3,5 weeks, your channel offers great inspiration for the trip planning. Thanks a lot, greetings from a roadtripper from Germany!
Sounds like a fun trip! Thanks for watching!
I'm also planning to visit in October, so I'm looking forward to it
Should be a great trip!
Thanks!
♥️ Thanks so much for your generous support!
Wow, I didn't know a travel channel like this existed. I love to drive, but it's getting harder to do and I have not seen as much of the West as I'd like. This will be a good way to experience what I'm missing.
Glad we can help you get some of the joy of driving and seeing the scenery! Thanks for watching!
we just came back from visiting 9 states and it's beautiful out West.
And it's beautiful out in the Northeast of The United States. Upstate New York, Vermont ,etccc.
40 States , has something pretty to see. I have 10 more states and then I seen of all of The USA.
