- Come along as I visit Aspen, Colorado for my first time. I will show you my camp just outside of town. I experience lots of rain on this trip, so my plans need to be amended, but that's the name of the game when you live on the road. We take a tour of the city of Aspen and also a beautiful close-by Nature Preserve. If you know me, then you know I'll also do some cooking at camp. Come hang out in the Rocky Mountains with me.

I am old enough to remember Colorado before the super rich ruined it. Ahhh, the good old days!!!
🎯
And those of us who live here and still know of some special sacred places, un-touched by "transplants" cherish them like no other!
@@shellyfahren1936 👍👍🎯
That's all of america, now
Yes ! Good old days. Miss them
Thanks for another peaceful start to my Sunday morning. Rainy days are sometimes a blessing allowing us to just unwind and relax not worrying about what needs to be done or where we should be going. Appreciate the lovely and peaceful footage you always share.
Catherine, you should experience the Rockies from a motorcycle. There's nothing more sensual and connective, between a person's spirit and the universe surrounding you, than to travel through that splendor, in the open, feeling it, and breathing it in.
Exquisite photography that captivates to a point of actually being there. The calmness of movement and the gentleness of your voice is most therapeutic. This is my first viewing of your channel. It shall not be the last. Liked and subscribed.
Thank you so much John! Welcome to the channel.
Colorado is always easy on the eyes! Beautiful state and scenery. Thank you for taking all of us along. Enjoy your stay. Be safe, be well!
You are so zen; you, your voice, your videography, your music choices... just so zen. I breathe in. And out. And see the beauty. Thank you.
🙏❤️🙏
I always feel more peaceful after watching one of your videos.
Aspen trees are my favorite trees.
I moved to CO in 1966..I worked there until 1998. I was fortunate to be in a lot of your presentations from CO. Being young I never looked around. It was the destination not the journey. Now that I am retired in WA , I see more but your photography is better then my eyes and documented . Thanks for your great skills that let me see what at the time was not important.
Always enjoy your videos. Thank you. Blessings
Watching your video is a 'moment of zen' for me...so relaxing and the photography is wonderful. Thanks
I passed through Aspen many years ago and this reminded me of its charm. I really loved the music you paired with your walking tour! It hit my “sentimentality nerve!” Hope the weather improves for your adventures! Safe travels Catherine!🙋🏻♀️
Thank you so much!
Your humbleness is a jewel
Your videos bring me back to a good head space. Thank you
I was surprised that you did not go to the John Denver Sanctuary along the creek in Aspen. Reflective, beautiful tribute to him. I liked the scenes from the campground. Thank you for taking us along on your journey.
Named my youngest daughter after Aspen, Co. because of its beauty
Love your calm soothing voice. You make a great narrator, enjoy your commentary👍😁
Thank you Ms. Catherine for another delightful sojourn with nature, You're living the life that so many only dream of... stay well & safe ... Cheers.
Rick here again 🇨🇦 Catherine you are living my dream, I always wanted to see Colorado and western USA 🇺🇸, I have seen western Canada twice and love the west . Keep posting your beautiful trip , I love watching it. Stay safe and watch out for the teddy bears,
You picked a great place to visit! Been here 4 times; twice solo, one with my sister, once with my parents. First time, some of the stores still had hitching posts in front, then it changed, as the town became "the newest thing" for the 'Moneyed Class'. What's the saying "money won't buy happiness, just a lot of substitutes!" I drove up over Independence Pass from Leadville: one of the most beautiful drives I've done: even did it once, at night (I'd never do that again!). The night sky, though, at the 12,000 foot summit was incredible and definitely worth the effort! Hope you enjoyed the trip; always enjoy your videos!!!
Colorado sure looks green in the rain. We desperately need some of it in Northern California. My only criticism of your beautiful videos: they're not long enough!
I am French living in France and it was memory lane for me as I visited Aspen 19 years ago (was already expensive then !!) thank you for sharing this rainy day and your cooking! I really enjoyed watching as much as I like watching your hikes. Have a great stay in Colorado
Thank you so much Valerie!
Thank you for another great video and the music you play with your videos ia outstanding
Good Sunday morning Catherine! Maybe it's my imagination, but you seem to be so relaxed and at ease every week! I love it! That's one of the reasons that I love your videos. They help ME to relax. I also love the way you adapt to whatever the circumstances warrant. Aspen really is beautiful, and when the colors start to change, it's magnificent! As always, love you and be safe. 💖🙏
Thank you! You too!
Yes you seem very happy today. It makes your episode even better if that's possible.
I've been watching old videos . I was just thinking you started out with 8 k & now I think I saw 87 k
How amazing that must make you feel . The bronco stadium only holds 75 k ( I think) think about all the people who care about you & how you re doing if they don't see a video sun. You.ll always have people there for you. God bless & have fun!!!!!!
Great video! Thank You for the look at Aspen, I've never been there. It seems to have a small town look about it. Kinda touristy. Nice looking area. Trees and mountains. Stay Safe. Keep posting and I'll keep watching 🙏👍😎🐕🦺
I love a summertime rain, but I’m from WA and now reside in CA so I miss a good summer downpour. I don’t mind going out in it if I can avoid the mucky mud. What a beautiful town surrounded by even more incredible beauty, nature. Thanks for posting.
That's it! A bunch of us need to get together and take Catherine shopping. I think she's a bigger shopper than she's letting on...😀
😂😂😂😂
Looks like you had a great time despite the weather.
Stir-fry?! You had me at sausage-egg-and-cheese sandwich.
😎✌💖💖💖💖💖✌
Awesome I been at Aspen a few years ago and I enjoying and watching now beautiful country colorful and 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎👌❤️
Aahh a singing voice I hear while in the rain...😉
Never been to Aspen. Now it’s on my list . Just beautiful! I love rainy days , and rainy day people!🎸🎼
I just spent a week in the U.P. of Michigan. I went out in the woods and forgot the world. It was wonderful.
Sometimes when the weather won't cooperate you just adapt and make the best of it, nice video, travel safe
The White River National Forest is gorgeous .....its in the Aspen area. I was there back in June camping, hiking, etc. Tks Catherine. Always love your content
Hi Catherine! I've very much enjoyed your fantastic videos for quite awhile. I happened to be camping at Difficult CG just a couple spaces downhill from you during your 2nd night there. I was in Aspen over the weekend to attend a wedding, which turned out fantastic. You looked familiar but I typically don't reach out to other campers out of respect for their privacy. I realized who you were by a camp tag just after you had left to travel over the pass :( but still I didn't want to bug you. You have an artists eye for nature, and your content is always a great vicarious escape that I enjoy watching each week. I'm a CO native, started backpacking in the early 70's with Boy Scouts. I'm on the cusp of retiring and planning to get back into travel and the outdoors; I have a lot of catching up to do, evidently! Anyway, thank you so much for your continued amazing videos. Your stories and shared impressions of so many bucket list places are both inspiring and beautiful. Keep up the great work! Jeff in Wheat Ridge
Did interstate 70 along the Colorado in May with my son what a wonderful part of the county. Keep enjoying life and stay safe 👍👍👍😎
Outstanding as usual! Can't miss my "Sunday morning breakfast with the Cat"!
Always love your videos! But I really like these videos where you show what you're doing at the camper and share the meals you make.
Awesome Catherine. You inspire me to get my truck camper resealed and go exploring. Thank you for sharing
Such beauty! Looking forward to next week to see what brought you there!
The flowers 💐 , lakes and the mountains were amazing 😍 . I caught a mild case of Covid-19 in January. I took a short trip out of Texas a couple of weeks ago. I am ready to take a short trip to Hot Springs, Arkansas. You have given me inspiration. Many Thanks
another awesome vid. Even rainy days are good in the outdoors. Thanks for sharing the journey with us.
Love the scenery, haven't been to Aspen in a while. Thanks Catherine!
My Sunday is starting out great.
I enjoy your meals; simple, but delicious looking.
I was so happy to see you in my state!! We haven’t been to Aspen though in awhile, so nice to see the town. I hope you had a wonderful time here in Colorado! Safe travels!!! Can’t wait to see the rest of your Colorado videos, can’t wait for fall!
Thank you Diane! ❤️
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures you are welcome!!!❤️🌻
That looks so cool.
Thank you for another great vidio Catherine 👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Beautiful town! Thanks Catherine!
Went to Aspen in 88 with my sister and Mom, also Glenwood Springs and over the Rockies from her place near the Springs. Different but a cool vibe back then. Thanks for sharing your trip, super nice
Great video, happy trails Catherine
Awesome video! 😎 Keep up up the good work!
Awesome video! Feels very peaceful.
Great video and loved the soundtrack
Nice video, as usual, thanks !
enjoyed, this is the life should be, RELAX. thank you Cat
Exquisite.Just loved it😊Thanks Catherine🌟
Loved seeing Aspen - the town. Great memories of skiing there annually. Such a special place!
Another good one thanks 👍👍💙
I'm happy with what ever you do! Stay safe and happy!
Love it relaxing listening to the rain hitting the roof of the camper.
Really enjoyed your everyday life adventure!
I have always wanted to visit Aspen myself. Thanks for sharing!
I just want to thankyou, you are a inspiration and I just live your videos. Ithasbeen a life dream to have a teuck camper. I have saved for years but never did I think I would ever fulfill that dream. Well I did this last year! I am almost finished wirh the remodeling. This video came in the right time. I have always dreamed of going to Colorado and especially Aspen. I have had a rough week but watching your video changed my week. I hope to meet up with you one and and hike. Hopefully one day you can come to Maine and I can show you where I hike! Awesome job!!
Another nice laid back vid Miss Cat!
That statement "dry camping" was a bit funny to my thinking with all the rain!
Your videos are a welcome respite from the news! Very relaxing and informative. Keep them coming!
Hi Catherine….I’m from south GA, but had the good fortune of living and working in various parts of the US.
For three years I lived/worked in Jackson Hole, WY and spent weekends (in a truck camper similar to yours) enjoying the West.
I spent some time in Aspen and your portrait of this little mountain town was right on.
Enjoy your videos keep them coming….!
Tommy
Thank you Tommy.
Yes I enjoyed the trip through town. I've always wanted to see aspen. I plan to go through there one day. I always enjoy your videos. Thanks
My first Catherine Cliffhanger for 2021! Still enjoyed your mountain scenes with the fog lifting out. Thanks for including breakfast too! I was missing those even though I was having my own coffee (but imagining the smells from your plate!). Safe travels!
Now that is how to make lemonade out of raindrops, love always ❤
What a beatiful area... thanks for sharing💜
The tour through Aspen was really nice. I love exploring towns and their quaint little shops. Thank you for that!
Beautyfull scenario there 👍🏻 btw even if you get rain during your traveling i bet you got all the gear to back you up whenever you are traveling off road , and keep up the outstanding work👍🏻
…Singing in the rain! 👍🏻 Classic! Enjoyed the Aspen video and looking forward to the next 👍🏻😉
Yeah , every day life I like !
Looking forward to traveling through Colorado again. Thank you for such a nice video!
Keep on cruising Catherine.....looking good....great video as usual!
Catherine another amazing video keep up the good vibes u are awsome. Your truly living the dream. Looking forward tobthe next adventure
Thank you for bringing us to sites and sounds that many of us cannot visit. It was a great video on your every day life.
I never know what to expect with your videos. Always entertaining and interesting to say the least. You always have the best breakfasts, so jealous. Hope you had fun on this adventure and I'm sure I will enjoy watching. Thank you and be safe and stay well.
Love Colorado, but never visited Aspen. Thanks for the tour! Looking forward to the next adventure.
Cat, Aspen was very lovely! I spent a week in Durango back in July 1990. Went on the narrow gauge railroad to Silverton. I remember reading about a big fire there a few years ago. Really sad. As always I really enjoy your videos!!! 👍❤ Happy trails!!!
Aspen looks awesome. Nice upload and journey thanks for sharing.
Great plan B Cat. Thanks for taking us along. Looking forward to catching the hike. Wish I could go along. Take care for bears.
Adventure just fine. Another nice Sunday morning. Looking forward to next week.
Enjoy your journey
Good job out there. ✌️✌️🤙🤙🙏🙏
Really enjoyed this video. A day in the life. Wonderful music score. Reminded me of younger days under gray skies in faraway places once familiar. You caught the mood.
Welcome to Colorado!
Thanks Cat👱♀️ for a fun video of Aspen, Colorado, stay safe and happy trails!⛺ Cheers 🧔
Cat- I lived in Aspen during the winter of 1977 and 1978. During that winter I skied about 30 miles everyday. I thoroughly enjoyed it but not as much as I have enjoyed living in Montana since 1979! However, I highly recommend that you explore Crested Butte and Telluride Colorado while you're there.
Such a nice trip. And lovely lady
Perfect timing, headed to RMNP soon!
Wow, I think Aspen may be the most beautiful area I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing. Great video as always! :)
Magic mzz kat .. never seen aspenwithout snow ..very nice .😍😎😁
Loved this video! Aspen seems to a nice town. Especially with the aspen trees. The scenery was beautiful and seeing the flowers was amazing as well. Your sandwich looked delicious. So did your stir fry. I don’t blame you for cooking indoors when it’s raining there. Can’t wait until next video. Have a great night and week and see you soon! Safe travels.
Loved your video on Aspen. The river and mountains were beautiful. I love your Beautiful and most soothing voice. 😊
A very relaxing day Catherine, sometimes that is what the body and soul needs. I also love the sound of gentle rain on the roof of a trailer while camping, it is soothing. Have a great Sunday.
