- During this ATV trip in Colorado we explored multiple trails and parks including the Devils Punch bowl/ Crystal Mill, Alpine Loop, Napoleon Pass, Taylor park, Tin Cup, ect..... Enjoy
I’ve watched well over 200+ ATV/UTV videos and this one is absolutely award winning. I feel like remapping my summer time off to take a few of these trips.
Way to go on this movie . The music ROCKED
This is a great video Atwood, not sure if your from Colorado, I am. I'm not a Liberal tree hugger, but I did see people in OHV's and UTV's off the trails. I believe in preserving our right to ride 4X4's, ATV's and UTV's in Colorado mountains, honestly you should have edited those off trail scenes out of your video. It may not be you in the other vehicles but it gives us a black eye for the tree huggers. Stay the trail and tread lightly Atwood. Happy trails! As far as the mines go, if it doesn't say no trespassing then we all take our lives in our own hands, we do that four wheeling anyway, explore!
Thank you for the respectful reply, as i've had some pretty bashful people on here. 4 years ago this was our first trip to Colorado with our side by sides. Since then we have learned how wrong it is to go off the trail with our units. So that will not be a problem from us anymore and I apologize for that! Besides that thank you for watching
Well put mate, agreed!
Wheeler geological area outside of Creede is another great day trip to trail ride and enjoy some of Colorado's most beautiful views!
This looks like an absolute blast.
Thanks for taking the time to do this video. I can't describe all the good memories I have from Taylor Park and many other places I have rode in Colorado. This video was inspiration to go back and I try to do that every year. I have Thousands of miles of off road adventures there and still many places I want to explore. Never got tired of it, even after more than 30 years since my first trail ride. Thanks for the video. It was great!
Thank you so much very glad you liked it!
I rode Scholfield pass in the late 70's on a 1972 Yamaha DT250 Enduro. On the way back from Crested Butte after it got dark I came across some dude who tried to drive a dune buggy (VW) and never made it to halfway point. I rode the majority of the pass at night with a total stranger on the back of my bike. We made it and had some interesting stories to tell.
Fond memories of living in Colorado in the GOOD DAYS. Still into dirt bikes and side by sides, in fact wife and I are heading over to Taylor this weekend but at 68 the rides have mellowed somewhat (understatement). Thanks for the memories..
Best ATV vid I’ve seen so far and by far the best music from a Colorado native that has been many of these places. .
Thanks man!!!!!
Thanks for an awesome video. Beautiful country and the music made it even better!
wow thank you so much!!
Glad I’m not the only one in Colorado still bumpin the lacs
Heck yeah buddy!
now this is how you are supposed to make an atv video
haha why thank you! Took me about 2 weeks to put this all together!
Keep your smartass remarks to your self
Absolutely gorgeous video! I am a Colorado native and was born in Gunnison but haven't been back there in over 30 years but you just convinced me to make this trip with my YXZ without fail!
without a doubt I would go back!! Glad to hear you liked the video, hope your trip goes well!
Tate Wood let me know when you go I’ll tag along, my kiddo and I are always looking for a reason for a trip
Yeah for sure, I have at least one other buddy with a RZR who will go and my wife will probably go with as well. I'll definitely let you know. I'm thinking maybe sometime in July...
Don't forget Moab in that journey.
Excellent video. I would love to ride there. Here in Maine we have ok riding but nothing like that. Thanks for the video, keep'em coming
Thank you very much!
Going to silverton for like 4 days then after that we don't know any info would be great for other places n ear by an awesome video best I've seen in awhile
Really good job on the video. Enjoyed it. I can tell you put a lot of time into it. I live in Colorado and have been to almost all these places. This video makes me want to get back to them for sure!
I really appreciate the postive feed back and yes I put alot of work into it, took me and 3 weeks to go thorugh and edit 600 clips from the trip lol so thanks!
Awesome vid man. Very helpful. Plus Stapleton is a bad ass. 🤟🏻👍🏻
ohhh yeahhhhhh!!
Excellent ride, with excellent friends
Heck yeah
Great video!!! Definitely need to add a few of these places to the list!

I would say stop thinking about it and just do it! you will never regret it, its an awesome place to ride for sure.
Great video, man..... That is amazing country out there. We're headed there the last week of June. Hope most of the trails are open then! (Some open late due to snow run-off...)
Thank you im glad you liked the video! I hope the trails are open for you as well you will have a great time!
great song and video
Thank you!
Great video man. We’re planning a trip out there and this was cool to see your experience. We Usually just ride Kentucky and Tennessee so I’m excited!

Great ATV video. Really tight.

Bro, that was a great video, I really enjoyed it!
Thank you Brian glad you like it man!!
Great edit man!
Thank you so much I appreciate it!!
Awesome video....
Thank you!!
This is a really great video. I thoroughly enjoyed it. My daughter and the grandkids live in Denver. I would love to take them on this wonderful journey that you have captured so well. I am also sending the You Tube address of the video to my brothers and sisters in Australia. Thank you so much Andy for posting this on You Tube for all of us to enjoy.
Thank you for the feedback really appreciate it. If you every get a chance go out there and do it! haha
beautiful video..
Thank you!
Nice job on the Video!
Thank you sir!
This is a great video, looks like an amazing trip. Might get there some day.
Do it, you won't regret it!!! I want to go back next year and ride a different area in Colorado.
Im thinking about just going to Taylor Park is there enough riding there? I want to camp and ride but not move around to much with the big camper.
Yes absoulty, it is a huge park. It would be really hard to ride all the trails there in general lol.
Great video!!!!!!! Thank you!!!! :-)
thank you and your welcome!!
Great video- this looks like an amazing area to snowmobile, too! Noticed the OSU shirts- I'm also from Ohio.
4:40.... it the music for me👌🏾
oh hellll yeahhhhh
awesome!!
Yes it was one of the very first places we went and was an awesome ride! Definitely something I would put on your bucket list. We stayed at a very nice campground called 3 rivers resort.
enjoyed the videos, I have not done the Alpine trail. We go the same time of year.
Nice! The Alpine look is cool, it was probably one of the least rugged trails we went down. There were like stock jeeps driving around in some parts if that doesnt tell you anything haha
This is awesome
Thank you!! get out there and ride somtime the land is beautiful!!
I'm only 14 but I will get out there for sure when I get older
Then put it on your bucket list lol!!
Took my 96 f150 4x4 over this!! No problem at all! It was brand new. Just a few scratches.
Thats a hell of a climb!!!
Love it
Thanks!
nice editing man! let me know if you want to ride colorado one day!! live here also
Sorry just seeing this now and will do!
I also ran Taylor Pass in my stock Xterra. Hahaha
haha that is insane but awesome!!!
New life goal! I need to go
yes you do!!
damn that was a good video nice job!
Thank you so much!!!
Nice job! Love the dumb and dumber splice. Hilarious!
haha it was funny putting that together glad you liked it.
devils punchbowl/crystal mill the first place you guys went?? where did you stay??
alexladwig there are a ton of hotels around there.
Loved the video. Excellent music as well. Some of those trails look pretty narrow. Are any of them 50” wide only trails?
sorry man not sure.....
Awesome shots, great editing and you kept it moving along. Music was enjoyable. Now, just a bit a helpful criticism, if you haven't already, get yourself a gimbal.
haha I got one now wish I had it back then! and thanks.
Great music too man.
Thanks I chose every song so wisely!!! lol
Awesome video thanks for sharing..do you have trail maps you can download
Yes we used Garmin Montana and you can look up how do download all the maps so you have the where ever you go and its all connected through satellite
Out of all the videos I have watched on planning our Colorado trip, yours takes the cake!!!! I'm guessing you stayed the night in motels or did you camp out?
We stayed at Three Rivers Resort, highly recommend.
I am moving to Livermore and buying a UTV should I get a 50 inch model? I like the ones with bigger seats but I want to be able to ride it on the trails. I was told Colorado has a lot of 50 inch restricted trails. Any thoughts would be helpful.
Most all the trails out there that we rhode on were plenty wide for a 60" SXS, not sure about Livermore and trail restrictions in that area. Thanks for watching
Sweet video! Heading there this June and staying at Three rivers also. Did you ride the trail that leaves from the resort at all? Wondered if it went anywhere exciting. We will trailer to other places as well. Thanks for a great video!
We did ride the trails from behind 3 rivers. We had a garmin montana that had all the trils maped they seem to go on forever as well someone told us they actual hook up to Taylor park if you go far enough! Thank you so much glad you liked the video hope yall have fun!
Thanks for the info! I have the Garmin Oregon and the FunTreks map. Should be good. Thanks
@@scootw8354 Awesome.
Really like your video! Could you maybe point us in the direction on where you got your trail map info, as we are planing a trip ourselves.
We downloaded all of our maps onto a Garmin Montana 600. When we went to Colorado for the first time we pre downloaded all the trails onto it so we wouldn't get lost and we already knew where we would be riding. The places we went ( Devils Punch bowl/ Crystal Mill, Alpine Loop, Napoleon Pass, Taylor park, Tin Cup). You can google each location pretty easy and figure out how to get there and find parking. We spent 5 days riding all these area's and you can download a map of these locations into the Garmin. The entire time we stayed in cabins at the 3 rivers resort in Gunnison Colorado we would just trailer our side by sides to where ever we would be riding for the day.
@@hunteratwood2529 awesome! Thanks so much for the good info and video. Definitely giving you a like and a subscribe.
Check out our page too "let er rip sxs" Always looking for new places to explore, on to the next adventure.
@@ashlieday6943 No problem at all and I will do the same :)
Great video! What time of year did you guys go?
We went during the last week of july!
Awesome video, how was the temp there?
awesome sounds and video having fun. butt err do you guys know why no one else disturbed the snow
Lots of people were driving through the snow bud all over the palce
So if you were me and you would be driving from North Carolina to ride one of these trails and make a week of it… which do you suggest? I think the inly one you didn’t highlight was the Wagon Wheel Trails..
Schofield pass to crystal
is that what it is called? If so thank you
Great video. Did you rent from an outfitter ? Where did you start and finish ? How many days did you ATV and where did you stay each day ?
Thank you! and we did not rent any Atv's we all have our own units and trailer-ed them in. The majority of the video was filmed at Taylor park which is in the Gunnison National Forest. We just bought a map and drove around the place for 3 days. The other two trips that were separate from that was the Alpine Loop and the Develis punch bowl/ Crystal Mill ride. To get to the Devils punch bowl we googled it and and found a place where a lot of people park and stuff with ATV's to go drive the trail. Which starts at the far north side of the trail starting from Crested Butte area is the best I can tell you. It will take you all the way past the punch bowl and to the mill. To get to the alpine loop we just googled it and drove to there park where they have plenty of parking for people looking to riding ATV's and Ect. In all, we stayed for 7 days, and the entire time we stayed at A campground called "The 3 Rivers Resort" in Gunnison CO.
Thanks, We rented from an outfitter in Salida and they dropped us off at Marshalls Pass (there was a large parking) and want to go back to that area again and try new locations.
That was awesome. What time of year was it? That Silverton CO. Is definitely on my to do list!
July 2016!
I'm planning a trip to Estes Park and renting a Maverick X3 (half day) for my son and I. I've never been there and don't know which trail I'd like to ride. I'm leaning towards Middle Saint Vrain.
well dang man I hope you have fun!
Awesome vid! How was the T4 on power at that elevation? Any problems getting through on the tighter trails? I have a 2012 T4 myself.
Power, my T4 engine and clutch configuration was stock at the time. Our base camp was 7k feet and at that elevation, felt I lost about 25% of my power. It really fell off at 11k plus but went everywhere I asked it to go. Some of the hills at the higher elevation required a running start but not a problem. Not many tight trails out there unless you go where the majority of people don't ride but you will be fine. Bring an extra fuel filter, the dust is absolutely amazing. Coming back from ASPEN the T4 started dying, I initially thought it was the elevation but couldn't figure out why it ran fine on the way there and was dying on the way back. It barely made it back. I pulled the fuel filter out and cleaned it up the best I could, ran fine the rest of the trip. Before we left I put new brakes and bearings on it. The Honda 750 at the higher elevations really struggled and one of the razors needed new bearings halfway through the trip. The Honda Pioneer 1000 ran excellent the entire trip. Make sure you ride in to Marble on the "Devils Punchbowl" trail ride. There is a bbq restaurant in town with excellent food called "Slow Groovin BBQ", food is excellent and the owner is very hospitable.
Our cabins started at 7K feet and I immediately noticed the power loss, at 12K feet it struggled a lot but doable. It performed much better than the 750 Honda but not the 1000 Pioneer. I also had my unit loaded down with lots of gear, tools and people. It's extremely dusty out there and my fuel tank filter got clogged coming out of Aspen but made it back to the trailer. I have an in-line filter but it still got clogged. I pulled thee filter out back at the cabin and washed it out and it made it through the last couple days of riding. Next time I will have a better filter and bring an extra.
Where is the trail head where you started this awesome video? I'm trying to figure out where to go in Colorado for mine and the wife's anniversary.
Alot of it was in Taylor park!
I literally just finished hiking on the devils punch bowl
Thats awesome.
Can I ask what timeof year was this ride taken? Trying to plan a trip.
That was the last week of July, its probably the best time of the year to vist.
@@hunteratwood2529 what about end of June, is there plenty of snow on the alpine loop? We're going next June.
@@Bob-4054 Alpine Loop normally opens by Memorial Day. Most of the loop should be good to go. The loop has so many side trails and that those may still have some. I'd say the main cty road of the loop will be good to go. Did a 4 day camp trip last year. So much to explore!
@@jogger1987 sounds good. Looks like a fun area to ride. We rode Taylor park, pitkin to tincup last year and it was a blast.
When you went to Aspen where did you park your Tyrx? Can you drive down the slope and just have lunch then ride back?
If you watch close in the video, as we decend in to Aspen, you can see two tracks that lead down the hill in to a parking lot. We parked our units and walked down in to town but later found out that those tracks were for SXS's. There is a parking lot for you to park in and most certainly you can eat in town.
Thanks! Thats very helpful. Where did you start from when you went to Aspen? And how long did it take you? Going to try this trail in a few weeks when Im out there. Thanks again!!!
Do you have a list of all the places you went here?
Devils Punch bowl/ Crystal Mill, Alpine Loop, Napoleon Pass, Taylor park, Tin Cup
What city is this in or around?
Who is the song in the 930 time area, beautiful morning?
I’m visiting a spot near Denver next summer, how far away is this spot?
Id say there about 200 miles apart!
Guessing 4-5 hours
Hey man I had a couple questions about your trip out there. Any chance you could email me or something? I’m looking at going and just wanting some more info!
Sure! Email me here - itsontheline77@gmail.com
Could you get a jeep through all the places that you went?
The only place id recommend taking a Jeep was on the Alpine Loop. Saw a ton of stock Jeeps on it. The alpine loop is 68 miles long so needless to say it would be really hard to even explore the whole thing in one day and it has a ton of cool old mining stuff to see. Now you can get to the Crystal mill by jeep, but its a little tough and is very challenging to get to the punch bowl by Jeep. Unless you have your Jeep jacked up for trail riding. The Taylor pass to Aspen would also need a Jeep that is set up for trail riding to go down it. Take a stock jeep and your bound to break something.
Great Stuff ... Looks like you may be from Ohio ..Athens area Ever ride at Wayne National Forest .. If you ever want to go Look My wife and I up I will be glad to share any info you may need
Just seeing this now we are all from Columbus. Never rode at Wayne's but have rode a lot in Vinton County we also really like to go down to Rush off Road in Kentucky which I would also recommend.
My wife and I would love to take this trip. Looking into buying a SxS now. Can I ask how or where you stay\sleep? Is it simply you stay in a cabin\hotel and leave with extra gas and return or what?? Very interested. This looks like a BLAST!!
Thank you Johnny! and it was a blast! We simply stayed at a campground the whole time in cabins. Then name of the place was Three Rivers Resort. We never brought extra gas but we would look up cool places to ride on google find out how to get to them then trailer over our side by sides and ride all day. I listed all the places we rode at in the video and they are very easy and popular to find on google. Let me know if you have any more questions!
I really do appreciate you getting back with me. Thanks a bunch. If we have anymore questions I will definitely write you here. I watch this video at least once a week. Lol. Thanks again!
haha thanks man I really appreciate you saying that it just made my day lol!! and sounds good!
How far were these areas from the resort you stayed at?
Looks the alpine loop was a haul from the area you guys stayed!
Where's the spot riding under the chairlift?
That was in aspen CO we rode from Taylor park about a 40 mile loop there and back
@@hunteratwood2529 oh awesome! Love that area!!! Will 100% be checking that out.
@@Ryan-jx9pi have fun!
Damn the music.
good or bad?
Nice video, except when you were going off trail. Not good
Thanks
Did you need a plate?
what?
@@hunteratwood2529 Did your buggy have to be plated on those roads?
@@petermccann2561 No Sir, if I recall correctly, which it has been awhile now but I think you need to buy some sort of permit or pass online but its for the whole state of CO.
Only thing I dont like about riding in Colorado is the consumption of gas compared to where I live in Arkansas.
Thats what cheap people say, live life you will always make more money bud that'd be the last thing id ever let bother me
What was that guy doing to that bear?
Was he harASSing wildlife?
hahahahahahahaha
Great video until country gang banger music started.... brutal!
Your face is brutal!
@@hunteratwood2529 lol, f’n inbred!
looks awesome, would have loved to watch but the music is too far from my tastes.
Why thanks, Pro Tip: If you hover the mouse right in between the skip forward button and the video time you will see a button called "Mute" ... might help you get through the painful music on anyone's videos not just mine
@@hunteratwood2529 thanks, yes I do know where mute is but I don't want to watch in silence.
I would prefer background noise over music that is against my taste as there is NO chance of me watching with undesirable music genre.
@@dwaynejones7923 Well I don't usually do this, but if you want to send me a list of your preferred music of taste ( roughly 3 or 4 songs), I can add it in there instead and re-send the video to your email because I would want you to watch. Let me know!
Oh darn.
Looked like a great trip. Please visit this site before going out there again: www.treadlightly.org/quick-tips-for-responsible-atv-riding/
The high-elevation stuff is super-delicate, and more and more trails are getting closed because people treat them the way you have in this video. It's not an OHV park. Even one vehicle driving/parking across the tundra screws it for years, some times permanently. Also, it is illegal to enter most mine sites/buildings - also super dangerous for you. Please respect Colorado. And please don't feed the wildlife... even chipmunks. Sorry, I'm just an avid Jeeper and would love to see these trails stay open.
Wow, I bet you are really proud of yourself, 3500 views and you are the first to dislike the video, how special. You must live to post Libtarded tree hugging messages! First off, at no point did I ever drive one of these units, as you can see I was held against my will in the passenger seat forced to film the crime(s) of the century! Looking back I guess we did get a little excited over the snow and should have remained on the trail, momentary lapse of reason. I believe in the "Tread Lightly" theory. Jeeper? I saw hoards of Jeeps in groups of 9-10 kicking up pounds of dust at the Alpine Loop, what effect does that have on the Tundra?? Oh, we don't want to go there do we, uh, jeeps don't kick up much dust in a desert like environment ?? Your comment on off trail driving has merit, the other comments are a joke! "Don't feed the Wildlife??? Only a fool would post such a idiotic statement, that little guy walked up on us as we were eating lunch near an "illegal and dangerous" mine site lol. I would understand a stupid statement like that if we were feeding a bear or a moose or something along that line but a CHIPMUNK, REALLY??? That mine site was more like a pile of rubble and the building we entered gets entered by hundreds of people a every week and is part of Taylor Park, not at all illegal. Mines are dangerous???, thanks mom, I will be more careful next time!! Maybe you should convert your Jeep to natural gas so your not dispelling toxic waste in to the atmosphere and melting the snow.
I was just making a simple request that you follow the rules/laws so as to keep our state beautiful, and our trails open, instead of glorifying destructive trail-usage as you did so well in your video.
I've seen a number of great trails closed because of destructive use similar to that in your video. I would like to continue to have access to those trails. I also understand that it's not always common sense to stay on the trail, especially above treeline. I just posted treadlightly's link in case you didn't know - as many visitors/locals alike, do not know. I never said this is an ATV-only issue, as it's definitely not, and would have suggested it just the same if you were in a Jeep.
Your infantile response to someone asking you to respect our/your public lands, and private property, make you look even dumber than you look in your video.
Let me voice my opinion in here. I know I dont know either one of you, but ive been going off roading in Colorado for more than 40 years. All I can say is this. If im not tearing up Colorado with my side by side, feeding every animal I come across, or off roading nothing but purley through the Colorado tundra im not having a good time. You can find me on the following websites for my crazy adventurezzz!! Jeepman221 please go like and subscribe!! www.feedthehungrycoloradoanimals.gov www.highaltitudecoloradomudeholes.org www.whoneedscoloradoanyway.com. I hope this newly found information I am providing you might help you get away from your liberal views Jeepeman, best regards.
You were NOT just making a "Simple Request", you were making a typical arrogant ass trail snob comment. You think you are better than everyone else because you have a "Tread Lightly" decal on your Jeep. I admitted we shouldn't have not gone off the trail, my bad, but you have to try and defend yourself w/ more stupid comments. You still cant defend "Don't feed the Wildlife" and "Mines are Dangerous" statements, talk about infantile??
Your pathetic hypocrisy amazes me!!!!! If you truly want to help keep the trails open, sell your jeep and find another hobby!!!
That's the Alpine Loop... NOT Aspen Loop. Aspen Loop is outside Mancos, Colorado. Riding across the grass..., That's Alpine Tundra. Major illegal.
Aw aren't you cute! I know where its at dude it was a typo in the description chill out, I have everything right in the video LOL.
@@hunteratwood2529 Touchy. You were riding on Tundra dude
😎
Wow you must be fun to bring to parties!!
I like to ride on the Tundra too, lest dust lol
Maybe if you would quit smoking so much weed and searching for typos in CZcams videos you could be a little more productive in life?? You should go post up signs around the trails that say “ stay off the tundra”. I’ve been there and didn’t see one sign that said stay off the tundra. Maybe with all the profits you make from selling weed you could afford to put up a few signs???? Vacationers from out of state have no idea the tundra is illegal to ride on, we certainly would respect the area but we need to know! So, “Relax Francis”, put down the weed and get out there and post up some signs, maybe next time I won’t ride on the Tundra.
Enjoued the video up until you drove off the road onto the tundra. That is not something you are supposed to do period.
Thank you, and yes your the thousandth person to say this.The video was taken 3 years ago on our first trip there we didnt know the rules since then we do not drive on the tundra.
Love your videos, we just posted an awesome hike to Mohawk trails in breckenridge Colorado where we were woken up by mountain goats! check it out.
somebody hacked your video and put the sound of a car wreck on it
I think someone hacked your brain
😂 screw Florida why’s everyone moving here Colorado is the place to be
Stay on the trail people!!! Its people like these that give us offroad users a bad name!
Thanks for the awesome postive feedback little buddy ;)
thanks for introducing me to the worst song my ears have ever heard. Keep it redneck should be destroyed never to be heard again
would be much better with out the thug music!!
my video would be a lot better without your input... but we can agree to disagree porkchop
