My favorite part of Colorado! Can't beat the San Juan Mountains!

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

Awesome. They are incredible.

[@paulsink2800]

Hi Cris. Beautiful scenery, great photography, wonderful music, outstanding production.

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

Paul! It's great to hear from you. Wow. Thank you kindly. Sure do appreciate the kuddos.

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

Can’t wait to get to Colorado! Nice to know dogs are permitted on the falls trail. There is something inherently pleasant about folding tent poles... and maybe blowing air in a dog’s face 😂🤣

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

🤣 Love it!

[@54bonkers]

So beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

Thank you, Sheryl.

[@billbertrand7751]

You two are so BLESSED, TY for sharing

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

Aww. Thank you, Bill. You are very kind. Thank you for watching and taking the time to write a note.

[@LiveByItHD]

Wow, I love all your travel videos but this is now one of my favorite. Thank you

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

Aww, thank you, Ward. Sure do appreciate that. The San Juan National Forest gave us a lot to work with. 🤗

[@timtoby7975]

Thanks you guys! I really enjoyed the trip. Great job on the videography. I enjoyed the camp break down more than I would have imagined. Thanks again.!

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

You're welcome, Tim, and thank you so much for all the wonderful feedback.

[@markramsdell4433]

I hiked to the head waters of the Rio Grande in the San Juan Mountains peaking the divide at 14,000 ft back in the 1980's when I worked for the Coleman Company. It was a two week trip and I remembering coming back with just a few crumbs of food left.

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

That is so cool in every possible way!

[@enriquecastellon6524]

Beautiful scenery , the sky is so blue on the campsite part. I like your appreciation for nature so thanks for the details that were shared also but not least I’m curious about the trailer, what was it?

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

Hello, Enrique. Thank you for the thoughtful comments. The trailer is an Escapade Backcountry. Here are links to a couple of videos we have made about the trailer, and also a link to Escapade's website.

We head to the San Juan's every year. Have family in Pagosa, Southfork and Creede.

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

That's fantastic! Such a beautiful area.

[@MartysCrewOurFamilyAdventures]

We loved Piedra Falls! You’ve captured it beautifully! Did you happen to hike the Williams Creek Trail while you were there? It’s gorgeous! Would gladly camp in the San Juan National Forest again!

[@wobblyotteroutdoors]

I see why you love Piedra Falls! It's so pretty and the trail is such a pleasant path. Thank you for the kind words about the video. Right there with ya on willingness to camp there again. We didn't explore as much as usual. Sounds like need to go back and hike the Williams Creek Trail.
