‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣ THIS EPISODE ‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣
Rocky Mountain National Park is quickly becoming one of our very favorites! We planned on heading out after 4 days but scored 2 more nights in what might be the best camp site in a park we have ever had!
In last week's episode, we spent the whole day exploring Rocky Mountain NP and hanging out in our campsite inside the park, but in this one, we get to explore just outside the park entrance to learn more about the history of Estes Park and the infamous Stanley Hotel!
One tip for finding things to do in an area is to check out Google maps for local museums and historical societies and check their websites or Facebook pages to see if they have any events going on while you are in the area. We happened to luck out and get a tour of the Birch Cabin and the Birch Ruins with some wonderful folks from the Estes Park Museum. So much beauty and history all in one little town!
After our incredible tour, we explored all of the amazing shops in the downtown area of Estes Park, the best of which was The Taffy Shop founded in 1935 and the only taffy shop in town that actually makes their own taffy in-house!
Though we didn’t take the full tour of the Stanley Hotel, you can walk around the grounds which include the garden maze, enjoy the foyer and the downstairs for free!
After a quick dinner, we headed back out for a stunning walk around Lily Lake just a few miles outside of the park. This is a wonderful stop to veiw the sunset and is handicap accessible! We took a little trail off the main path to find an incredible view and the last rays of sun for the day.
Stay tuned for the next episode as we get up for the earliest sunrise to date! Be sure to like and subscribe and click on the bell icon for notifications when we release new videos!

Thank you for sharing our message that It’s Better Outside!!!
Hi guys , the pic of Jess sipping a cup of coffee whilst looking at the mountains is special , however my wife and I can see our stunning mountains from our dinning room, we are all blest by the beauty our God has made.
It was a really special spot! So glad you have one that you get to enjoy every day! We are definitely blessed!
I love your family. Your girls are so respectful. Tell them I'm very impressed with their maturity, and for their fun, adventurous side. My grandkids wouldn't get up early to hike up the side of a cliff to see a sunrise. Not even for the donuts. You're two in a million. I wish I could hug the stuffing out of you. Grammie Sue in Port Washington WI
Thank you so much for your kind words about the girls. They are incredible young women and we are very proud of both of them. Thank you for joining us and taking the time to comment!😊
I put a little light brown sugar in any stews, chili, soups or spaghetti sauce to cut the acidity of tomatoes/sauce.
Awesome! I use brown sugar in a lot of my steak marinades! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
I use carrots in spaghetti for sweetness. One of my daughters hated veggies when she was young, so found creative and sneaky ways for consumption. LOL
Super sneaky! I like it! Thanks for sharing your tips!🙏
The cool thing about this episode, is that I live here. Seeing it from your perspective was a lot of fun.
The Stanley actually is haunted, but I believe in a good way. I took my kids there when they were young, it's something none of us will ever forget, we talk about it to this day, 15 years later.
So much to do, the Elk are always the best part, along with Laura's dark chocolate Toffee and their waffle cone, Pecan ice cream. :)❤️
I'm so glad you guys had such a great time and I hope you'll come back soon. I have a cabin up on Storm Mountain, outside of Estes, where I have a birds eye view of Longs Peak and Pikes Peak.
Great views of RMNP and S tes . Correct pronunciation of Estes😎
Thank you! We learned after we were there!😂
Greeting again from Mike the Museum docent. Thank you for promoting our tours and the town. The slash piles at Lily Lake and in the Park are made by the Park Service. They are to mitigate fire damage and are burned in the winter when there is snow on the ground and safer to burn. The other thing I want to mention is that quite a few of the buildings downtown are original buildings that were built in the early 1900's, most between 1905 and 1917. They have gone through renovations and functions but are the original buildings. Have fun, travel safe, and come visit again. There are many other great hikes in the Park.
Hey Mike! It was our pleasure to share about your wonderful town! Thank you again for the outstanding tour and all the incredible information about the history and interesting facts about Estes Park and RMNP! We appreciate you taking the time to educate others on the history. It is so important to pass that on to the next generation! Our girls had so much fun on the tour. Thank you for the information about the slash piles and the other buildings in the town. We look forward to going back and checking out many more of the hikes in the park! All the best and thank you again!
Estes park is a really great place to go to and visit.
Colorsdo is one of the most fun places I’ve ever been to in the USA. We lived there about 10 yrs.
In Colorsdo I drove and walked and hiked from place to place saying oh wow look at that snd oh wow look at that. Everyplace you look it’s oh look at thst and isn’t that beautiful? Lol
Go to Bear lake too. You can hike all around it. And down I70 to Idaho springs to the water wheel. And to the Buffalo house and have Buffalo burgers.
Another great video! I love how you actually take us on your adventure instead of giving us 4 or 5 second snippets of things like so many Utubers these days. Safe travels to you all!
This is how we want to look back and remember these moments with the girls. So glad you are enjoying the longer episodes! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!
The sugar helps tame the acid from the tomato sauce.
Absolutely, I completely agree. I always have a little bit of sugar in my sauce. Thank you so much for being here with us tonight! 😃
We moved out here in 2006 and used to frequent RMNP every weekend for hiking and fishing and we would hang out in Estes Park after. A few years before COVID we stopped going because of how crowded it became. We have been scouting places to move up north the last couple of years in Montana and Wyoming, which is going to take a bit longer than expected. In the meantime, I think we are going to make RMNP a regular thing until we move thanks to you guys. We didn't know how much we missed it, until now. Thanks for taking us along for the ride, you have renewed some excitement within us!
We wish you guys all the best as you look for a place in Montana or Wyoming- two of our favorite states! We can’t wait to get back to RMNP and see more! Thanks so much for watching!
Our motto has always been "Pick the one thing you want to do today. " Much less stressful. Some of our best moments came from having time to explore or just soak in the surroundings.
Such a good one to live by! We live in such a stuffed and packed culture. Kids are raised running from one think to the next and adults are trying to keep up with everyone else. Not many people seem to truly enjoy the things they are doing. That was part of why we chose this life. Thank you for watching!🙏
In our national forest they pile it up and then burn it inthe winter when snow is deep to prevent wildfires.
Thanks so much for watching and sharing!🙏
Another great video! Rocky Mt Nat Park was one of our favorite places as well, so beautiful.
Somehow it kept getting better and better! Thanks for watching!🙌
omg medicine bow Wy. My first husband was from there. I'm of course from Denver. Anyway I worked at an open pit uranium mine. Right outside medicine bow. I only lasted about 4 months I was a t-prober. So I'd have to flag off the ore just for the big Earth movers to come run over the flags just to do it all over again. I only lasted a bout 4.5 months. Because it was the dead of winter & with the wind chill 40 to 60° below every night. I worked graveyard shift. Trying to get those little red metal flags into that frozen ground 🤣😂🤣 I was 19 yrs old. I made $19.00@hr. That's a TON of MONEY for 1976!!! 😂 Looking forward to it guys!
Wow! What a crazy experience that must have been! And that was a ton of money! Nice! We can’t wait to share our adventures in Medicine Bow! Just incredible! Thanks so much for watching!
@Finding Our Someday 😂yea I got spoiled at a young age for earning good money.Wy. back in those years in efforts to encourage women to move to the state to get more women in Wy.. So they were hiring women for jobs that normally men would do. At the same wage. Until age 28 I worked all over Wy. with no less than $16@hr. Various jobs what would have been considered men type jobs I guess. But it was all women. With the exception of the uranium mine. 🤣 Here's a little tidbit. Wy. was the First state to recognize women in efforts of getting equal pay. I can't wait for the vid. I've Loved this series Co and now Wy. Old stomping grounds.🤣 Thanks again for sharing, love you guys🥰.And as always safe and happy travels ✌️🥰 PLEASE NO need to reply back. You guys are just way too busy for that! And so kind to respond first time around. I don't know how you keep up with it.🥰
You can't have spaghetti without sugar, I was told by a 92-year-old Sicilian woman outside of Palermo as she cooked our dinner.
Well debate over!!!🙌
I have been told that by several older Italian grandmas. Just a touch. Maybe a teaspoon per pot.
I appreciate it when you mention about the trails and sites being handicap accessible. I used to love to hike but multiple sclerosis has taken that ability from me and I still want to see new trails and experience new places with my powered wheel chair and I definitely take note of accessible places
So glad it is helpful for you. My dad was in a wheel chair for the last part of his life because of his ALS, and I would have given anything for him to have been able to have seen some of these places and trails. Praying for you as you navigate MS.❤️- Jess
That was such a sweet reply and I wasn’t even sure if you’d even read it since I’m going back and watching all of your videos in no real order in order to get “caught up”. Thank you for the reply and all the hard work you guys do on your awesome channel 🙏🏽❤️
My family has a cabin not far from Estes. If you ever get a chance to visit in late October it is truly magical. When the crowds have gone and the town is winding down, and it's quite, and the trees are brilliant in their Fall colors, it's near perfection. If you time it just right, for first snow, it is perfection. Also, the Stanley is an awesome place to stay, when it's not hot weather, because the rooms have no AC. You will feel like you're in the early 1900s. It's worth the price for a truly authentic experience, and to porch-sit after sunset with a cocktail...unforgettable!
We have heard that it is spectacular in the fall there. Especially this year! We do hope to get back to see the aspens turn SOMEDAY! Thank you for watching!
While we were touring the Stanley Hotel a few years ago we met a couple staying in the room that Steven King had resided in while writing the Shining and they invited us to see the room. Nice old room with a tiny bath and antique fixtures.
How cool that they let you check it out! The hotel was beautiful and we were surprised at how much you can see just walking around!
Wow Talk about Spitting Image Lily and Her Mom standing next to each other. Too cool. The Pictures You Get are Awesome. Love the Fires. God Bless You and Your Family.
She definitely looks like her mother! Thank you so much for joining us and taking the time to comment!
Yes to sugar spaghetti sauce! Growing up in Co. Our much older neighbor was from Sicily. She made her meat sauce for 3 to 5 days in pressure cooker. The smell was intoxicating. One of her great nieces would come stay with them a week or so in the summer. We became friends and I got to actually eat her spaghetti with that sauce just ONE time.. But I still remember to this day how it tasted. It is the BEST sauce I've ever ate in my life. Thanks for the epic views.. I love Estes Park. It's one of my favorite places in Co Northern mountains! As always safe and happy travels ✌️🥰 wow the pool was still there when myself and my family went around 2010? Had three levels of beautiful patios leading down to the pool. That looks totally different. Spooky place to stay since The shining was filmed there🤣🤣🤣
Wow! That must have been some amazing sauce! Thank you for following along with us on our trip to Rocky Mountain NP! 🙌
My mother use to make THE BEST sauce neither I nor any of my 4 daughters can duplicate it. There was sugar in it and only one type of tomato paste.
I absolutely LOVE how y’all appreciate the history and beauty of things/places in our country! Great job once again FOS!!
We find history fascinating and have always tried to share that passion with our girls. Thank you for joining us and taking the time to comment!
I grew up in northern Colorado, and frequented Estes Park. I miss that place so much. Thank you for showing us around that area. There are some things I didn't even know about! Keep on doing what you're doing!
What an amazing place to grow up! Thank you for joining us and taking the time to comment! Hope you are able to get back soon!
So glad you're still enjoying our town and Rocky.
What an incredible place to call home! Thanks for having us!
Yes sugar. Cuts the acid from the tomatoes.
Glad you are on Team Sugar!
Try this: for a serving of 2 with a leftover. Brown your 1 lb 80/20 hamburger with 2 cloves garlic and a med onion. Pour in beef consume can, 15 oz tomatopaste can and a can of tomato soup. Simmer for 2 hrs. Cook pasta and pour meat sauce over pasta.
My Mother used a few carrots to get sweetness into her spaghetti sauce-my husband makes our sauce and he doesn’t use sugar or carrots 🤷♀️🍝
We have heard that from a couple people. I had never heard of the carrot trick before. Thanks for watching!
Golly, you really scored on that site!!!! 230 has always been our favorite because of that view. Glad you got extra days there. Moraine CG and RMNP are just magical. ❤
Estes is awesome. Go there every year. A few nice places we always go that aren't terribly difficult hikes. 1. Bear Lake and then hike up to Dream Lake. 2. Old Fall River Road up to Alpine Center and then Trailridge down. 3. Sprague Lake.
All these are better than Lily lake in my opinion because they are in RMNP.
Thanks so much for watching! This is our 3rd video from RMNP! You can check out us driving up Old Fall River Road and then over to Grand Lake in Episode 139 and watching sunrise at Bear Lake and then hiking to Emerald (Dream Lake was our favorite!) in Episode 140! We can’t wait do so much more next time!
Thank you for another great video. You guys have the best photography and videos that I see, bar none.😊
Really appreciate your kind words! It is such a beautiful park to photograph and film! Thanks for watching!
@@FindingOurSomeday I will definitely have to put this on my travel list for next year. Thanks again for all your work.
Hope you do! It is amazing!
Oh I was just thinking you better get salt water taffy in estes park. It’s terrific.
Enjoyed the video. Each week you are in Colorado I get more of a desire to be there.
Really hope you are able to get there soon! It is one incredible state! 👍
Sugar in the tomato sauce cuts the acidity. It helps the other spices/flavors become MORE!
You folks are in my top 3 RV channels. Love how you obviously have so much fun as a family and make memories. Look forward to each new episode!
That's amazing! Thank you for watching and joining us on our journey. We try our very best to have fun together and Corey and I work very hard at making lasting memories with our girls with the time we have left with them before they head off into their adult lives. Thanks for being here!
I had to kinda laugh when Cory only bought 1 bundle of wood for your campfire. I typically go thru 4-5 bundles each night, saving enough for a fire in the morning, but then I don't usually crawl into my sleeping bag until 1-3 am...
If we were sleeping in a sleeping bag and a tent, that would be a very different story with the firewood! 😉
The slash piles typically are burned in the winter.
That must be pretty crazy to see!
Thanks again for taking us along on your someday. Another good one for the books. We visited the Grand Lake side this summer, will have to visit the Estes Park side next. Just looked up Moraine campground and it will be closed from May 2023 to summer 2024 for upgrading. Looks like they will be adding some electrical to sites while they are at it. Looking forward to the next visit.
Wow! We hadn’t heard that! Glad we got in this year! I know a lot of people will enjoy some of the electrical sites! Thanks so much for watching! We hope you are able to check our Estes Park soon! We love the town and the history of the area!
There was actually a mini-series of The Shining with Steven Weber that was filmed at the Stanley Hotel. I stayed there years ago and was really creeped out! Lol.
We heard about that! It was cool to check it out, but I wouldn’t want to stay in the room that plays the movie on a 24hr loop!😂
@@FindingOurSomeday Right!
Their taffy was a the best.
It was so much better than the three other stores we tried!😃
Rocky Mountain Park and Estes Park is one of things I want to see one day. That looks so cool.
So enjoyed seeing this. My family started going there in about 1962. Thanks for the memories.
I can only imagine how amazing that whole area must have been in the 60’s. Thanks for joining us!🙏
Thanks for your videos! I love how we get to experience things along with you. 🙂
Thank you for being here with us and taking the time to comment!🙌
This was a really great episode. Thanks so much for sharing all the history. Love it!
Really glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for being with us tonight! 🙌
Make sure you see over the edge of the cliff at medicine bow. Awesome.
Pops, little Dink and I say hello!... Nice meeting you guys and the kids tday! Really enjoyed this Rocky mountain NP, Had a fantastic trip up thru Cloud Croft!! What wonderful history it has! The Mexican Canyon train Tressel was an engineering marvel for its day! Safe travels folks! Thank you for being you!
Carry on.
It was so wonderful meeting you, Greg! Thanks for saying hi! We hope you guys have the best time finishing up your trip. And praying for your dad’s neighbor as they rebuild what was lost. ❤️
Nice video. You guys certainly are living a great life. I really like Estes park and would love to own a cabin nearby one day. One of the stops on your tour (right after the cabin on the top of the hill) is next to a tree that has a geocache from another CZcamsr (Switch It Up). We have hiked Lily lake many times because it is easier for kids than many other trails in/near Estes and RMNP. So beautiful. I am really enjoying your Colorado series.
Thank you so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed it! Estes Park was way more than we imagined. We didn't know about the geocache! Lily Lake was a last minute thing and it turned out to be such a beautiful night. So glad we went to check it out! Thanks again for joining us!
Great job! We were in Estes Park in September! So sorry we missed you folks. Enjoyed seeing the sights we missed in addition to the ones we did see. FOS, F. O. Stanley -- Finding Our Someday.....🤔🤔🤔
You should have seen elk in town too as they like to rest on the grassy walkway. We stayed on meeker peak in a log cabin with wood stove in the kitchen and sure enjoyed our stay .
"Visited" RMNP Sept 5th on my way to Devils Tower and the Black Hills. I entered at Estes Park (Rt 34), not the Beaver Meadows entrance (Rt 36). Besides taking my Sprinter camper (named Lily, no relation) to 12,200 ft, I was not impressed. It was a timed entry decision. Boy, did I mess up. And Estes, OMG!
Thanks for giving me tips for making it right, the next time.
Oh no, what did you not like, too many people? Hate that you had a bad experience there! We loved every day we spent there!
Great video! And great advice-Don't pack too many things to do, just do a couple of things really well. Too often that is exactly what we do-too many things. And we are exhausted afterwards. We are planning to go to the Estes Park area next year and love seeing what you do and possibly put it on our list.
It is hard not to try to do too much sometimes but we all have so much more fun and make better memories when we do a couple things instead of trying to fit in all of the things because we are all calmer and in a better mood!😊
Oh after being at the Rocky Mountain national park I was just thinking that too. It’s so fun and beautiful. It’s so hard to leave that park.
Epic!!! The views and history are spot on!!
Thank you so much for watching! So glad you enjoyed it!
Did I really hear you say you never saw the Shinning?
Awesome video as always.
Thanks
Nope! Not much for horror flicks. But Dumb and Dumber is right down our alley!😂
More great memories. We visited RMNP 30 years ago in 1992! We did Trail Ridge Road, Estes Park, Bear Lake, and attempted Longs Peak (seen @ 5:30 etc. I can't believe I made it to 13,200 ft. The remainder on the climb to the 14,255 summit is along a sheer face with a 3,000 ft drop. My brother-in-law did summit! The Estes Park history and cabin tour was neat. I didn't know all of that.
That is amazing! It is definitely on our list SOMEDAY! Thank you for watching and sharing your story!
Absolutely loved the new video camera what is it because man talk about being Crystal almost HD like looking it was incredible and I enjoy seeing your videos every week
Nothing new! Still our Canon M6 and GoPro 10 and our iPhone 13s. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
Thanks for bringing us along with your trips.
Thank YOU for joining us!🙏
Another great video!! Of course this one is special! I love Estes!! Glad you guys did too!
We totally know why you love it so much! It was wonderful! Hope you guys are well!
Great video! Beautiful park. Nice to know history of Rocky Mountain Park. How people lived in those houses back in 1907. What a great adventure. You guys always go on a great adventure and take us all with you and you capture great things on video. I wanted to let you know I ordered another shirt from you. Loved the design so I bought it. Thank for putting shirts and all in your store. I want to help you all out by you merchandise. I hope you have a great weekend.
Glad you enjoyed our neck of the woods- you have not even seen the best parts of the park. many more hikes and areas to experience. hope you get a chance to come back...someday!
Love your videos and adventures. Thanks for sharing with us.
Love having you here with us! 🙌
Rocky Mt NP is stunningly beautiful. I fortunately got to spend time there about 7 years ago. I admit, I am the all time Yellowstone lover. Great video...Yes, I am also an Italian food lover too....
Yellowstone is so unique, you can’t help but love it! The wildlife in Rocky Mountain can’t be beat though!😁 Thanks for being with us tonight!
Another fantastic video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank YOU for watching! Glad you enjoy it!
The Stanley Hotel is considered to be one of the most haunted places in America.
That looked like such a beautiful little town with tons of history!! Thank you Nickersons!!
What a cool place! We had no idea! Excited to go back! Thanks for being here with us!🙏
Thank you for the beautiful awesome tour! God bless you all, much love!!
Thank you for joining us! God bless you and your family as well!
Love that National Park!
So do we! 🙌
Great video. Top 5. Safe travels
Thank you so much for watching! We completely agree!😃
G'day guys. What a wonderful adventure and coupled with the information on the tour. Awesome 💯
So glad you enjoyed it! The whole area is not only beautiful but fascinating. Thanks for joining us and taking the time to comment!
Just love y’all’s joyfullness! Love your blogs :)))
Thank you for joining us! 🙌
This was so awesome. I love old towns and old buildings. The history is amazing. So pretty there too
We do as well! It is absolutely fascinating and Estes Park totally blew us away! Thanks for being here with us!
Really love your video's!! ... The way you capture things is just a step above everyone else and love the narration. Jess does such a great job telling the story and adding the history.
Really appreciate your very kind complements to both of us! So glad you have been enjoying the videos! These have been fun to edit!
I just adore your adventurous spirits, your spontaneity and hearts to take in the ‘moments’ as you travel! Thank you for sharing your actual journeys & real life…& the food!! Oh my word! 😋
Thank you so much for being here with us for all the adventure! So glad you are enjoyed the videos!
Awesome videography! Thanks for sharing 🖖🏻😘👍🏻🙏🏻
Thank you very much! RMNP was amazing to film and photograph!
AWESOME video!!! I'm sooooo looking forward to spending my spring in Colorado and love all these travel tips! Also, WATCH THE SHINING!!!!
We are so excited for you to be able to experience it for yourself! Colorado is amazing! Thanks for watching! 🙌
I just have to say... U guys have the most amazing high quality videos of anyone on CZcams. I'm not just saying that. I watch hundreds of videos a week. U guys are top notch. Keep them coming..Safe travels!!
Thank you for sharing and like always, I love how you are able to capture the beauty through your lens! I will have to visit some day! Safe travels!
Thank, you😊 and you’re welcome!
The wife and I took a trip to Estes a few years back and got hooked on it. Now we go twice a year.
You need to get back there in the fall for the aspen color change.
Some great spots to try when you go back are Coffee on the Rocks, Kind Coffee, and Bird & Jim.
Sky Pond & Fern Lake are some amazing hikes as well.
Thank you so much for all of the wonderful recommendations! We heard that the color of the aspens was amazing this year! Definitely want to check it out in the fall one year! Thanks for watching!
We used to drive in on the south end of the park drive thru and hike then drive out on the north end and stop in estes park.
We go up to Estes/RMNP about 3 times a year and enjoy every minute. My top 3 National Parks are still Glacier, Teton, and Yosemite but RMNP is second to non when comes to wildlife. The elk beards on the east side and the moose on the west, it’s a great park.
Somehow my wife always suckers me into a ton of taffy every time we walk the streets in Estes. If we don’t get the taffy, it’s like we never went there. 😂. Glad to see you enjoyed yourself. You’ll enjoy Medicine Bow, we dry camped up in that area about 2 months ago.
We have very similar opinions on the best National Parks! And we are now never going to be able to go through the town without getting taffy!😂
This is on my bucket list, for riding the bike. Looks amazing for sure. Thank You.
You will love it!
great comment about telling history. if we dont repeat all this history, we will forget and be stuck with the present
So very true. We believe it is very important to teach our daughters as much history as possible to prepare them for the best futures possible. Thanks so much for watching!
I love Estes Park! I went to the Stanley a few years ago when my son lived in Denver. Its a beautiful area. Hopefully I can go back and explore it more. Love your videos. Stay safe and Happy travels.
We were totally blown away not just by the park but by Estes Park and the surrounding area! Thanks for joining us!
You are coming up to my neck woods next! Yay 😀 It’s been so fun watching you go to all our favorite spots. Thank you.
Yup ! On more adventure on the way out of RMNP then on to Wyoming 😎
Thanks for the videos of RMNP. Brings back very good memories of the past when I was much younger. Sixty plus years ago I worked at a lodge in the Wild Basin area, but did lots of hiking and climbing in the park. Longs peak is my favorite, but there are many more. And NO I did not scale the EAST face. Keep up the great work!
Longs is on our list to hike next time! I bet that area was unbelievable back then! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment and share your story!
Moving is fun!!
FO Stanley from Maine? How funny! I love to watch you guys immerse in the history! Old buildings are my favorite!
Who knew? We are always pleasantly surprised by the things we learn just looking up things about the areas we visit. Finding the tour from the local museum was such fun!
Fastest 30 minutes on the internet! Those shots are so good. You all really have an eye for capturing the best parts of a location. Always the first video I click on when I see it pop up. Keep up the great work. Makes me wish I was there.
Really appreciate your very kind compliments. Glad you enjoyed it even though it was a long one! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
Another great one! Been to Estes Park many times and never knew about the tours!
Thank you so much for being with us tonight! We couldn’t believe how amazing the tour was and that we just happened to be there for it!
Every time we were there it was bumper to bumper traffic. Didn’t look busy at all. Your timing was perfect!
We must have hit it just right. Barely any traffic at all!
Great video of the Estes (soft e not eez😊) Park and the RMNP area! Learned some new things about that area. Our friends recently purchased and refreshed the Misty Mountain Lodge there. We love watching your videos every week, thank you for sharing so much. Side note: my old college friend had a connection to Ten Sleep, so I’ve enjoyed seeing info about it. Glad you enjoy and respect our beloved state.
We realized after filming that we are pronouncing it wrong! So glad you enjoyed the videos there! What a cool project for your friends! We loved the whole area. And glad to hear you have enjoyed our Ten Sleep videos. Excited to share our time there in the next few videos!
Love your vids, guys, They make my day!
So good to hear! Thank you for doing us!
What a fantastic Adventure! Bonus days too!! Love and ordered your new Patriotic It’s Better Outside Long Sleeve. Can’t wait to wear it! Well done!
Oh thank you ! I hope you enjoy it!
Coffee Montage, WOOOOOO!
The slash piles are piled up in the summer and then when the area is covered in snow they will burn them. This is to help control possible wildfires.
This make way more sense, I looked it up and “animal habitats” kept coming up in the search…
Estes Park, gorgeous area. So is Lily Lake. The trails really sisn't seem to bad. OMG, I hear you on the elevation. It takes a bit to get used to. I can imagine running into a bear or cougar in the areas as the sun goes down or rises. Were you able to see all kinds of stars, and planets at night while sitting at the fire pit? Was to much light (light polllution)from the area.
Lily Lake was such a nice surprise! The night sky was still impressive even with the moon but it would be awesome to see it during Milky Way season with no moon there!
Very pretty! I've been thru there on the Harley, but didn't have time to explore like you did. Looks great. And the wildlife!!
You will just have to go back now😎 beautiful ride either way!
Hiking poles are so helpful with trying to get more hiking done.
We see a lot of people on the trails with them!
Everything needs just a sprinkle of sugar! Awesome job again
So true! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
You are correct about getting into shape. We moved from near sea level to Colorado. We wanted to enjoy hiking and camping, but we were so out of shape that we really didn't enjoy our outings. After we lost some weight and built up our cardio, going into the mountains or just anywhere was so much more pleasant.
Everything is better with less weight in the RV world 🙈😂
Loved the video! Estes Park is amazing! Jeff and I have not yet been…but, it is in the PLANS!
Really hope you are able to get there SOMEDAY soon! It is such a great area!
Enjoying your work from Kenya 🇰🇪.
Moraine Park campground in RMNP is my all time favorite. Nothing compares.
So amazing 🙌
