Sometimes when I see the beauty of nature that God has created for us it put's a tear in my eye. We are so blessed to live in such a beautiful country. Hopefully some day i will get to see more of it. Thank you again Cat for sharing.
The music choices really went “well today” … really enjoyed. 😎
I whole-heartedly agree.
Videography isn't her only gift. Her music selections have been very inspirational to me.
Thank you everyone!
You have a very special gift Catherine , Thank you so much for sharing this with us all , beauty both in nature and in self .
🙏💯💙
Thank you Bruce.
Such beauty Catherine, I noticed you haven’t mentioned it,but do you see the majesty of God who made this splendor for us little beings to wonder?
I needed this bit of nature today. Thank you, Catherine!
Breathtaking scenery. Thank you for sharing more of God's awesome creations with us. So peaceful. :)
Love the way those leaves move in the wind. Everything is so beautiful.
Quaking Aspens … glad you noticed, they are so amazingly peaceful!
I first visited the US as a foreign student in the early 80's. A highlight of that trip was hitching a ride over independence pass with a genuine mountain man in greasy coveralls, multiple layers of frayed plaid and a worn out feed supply cap. His 1940's Willys Jeep, complete with home made plywood hard top, got slower and slower as the grade increased, the line of cars and RVs behind us getting longer and longer. Eventually the old timer had me stop traffic whilst he swung the Jeep around and we slowly ground our way to the summit in the lowest available gear, reverse. Best day ever. A picture of that guy and "the old goat" that was his Jeep continue to take pride of place on my home office wall.
One of your best videos so far. The scenery is so magnificent! You've become a very accomplished photographer. Also loved the music!
Thank you 🙏
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures Where's the music from? Where can I find it?
What fantastic views!! There aren't enough words
Thanks Cat!
Hello cat wow is the perfect word two thumbs up 👍 on this one it did look like a painting be safe thanks for making my Sunday
Beautiful video. I always look forward to Sunday mornings so I enjoy another adventure.
A other awsome video. Amazing scenery your so lucky. Thank you
We are so blessed to live in this beautiful country.
Sunday mornings are better with CAT! Awesome.
Thank you 🙏
Being a Wyoming native, I am in love with the type of hiking we have in the Wind River Mountains. I spent 5 years ski bumming in Colorado back in the 80s. I found that there are still amazing places in Colorado to get away from the crowds and see some of the most beautiful mountains anywhere. Thank you again Cathy. Love your videos.
Wow, your not kidding, beautiful video, thanks for taking me along, safe travels. 🙏🏻 👍🏻 👏🏻
Your images of the mountainous terrain are absolutely timeless. The mountain peaks stand as sentinels amidst breathtaking forests and lakes. Stay safe, stay well.
Absolutely stunningly beautiful!!!! I started watching & my coffee had to wait!😃. Independence Pass is amazing!! You need to stay for the leaves changing in the mountains in about 3 weeks! Safe travels!
What an awesomely beautiful place. Great weather for hiking. And surprise early snow and added treat. Thanks Cat
I am speechless! Thank you for sharing the beauty Catherine!
Thanks for taking me along to this gorgeous area! Rocky Mountain High for sure. 💙
Great presentation of a beautiful area. Independence Pass was breath taking. Enjoy Mother Nature's majesty!
When we see grand views such as you’ve shared, it reminds us just how small our problems really are. Those were stunning! We hope you have a wonderful week and may God bless. ~Doug and Carol
Thank you!! 🙏🙏
Ans yes, the music...so perfect, dramatic, & lovely....you rock it so well....
Simply beautiful. Thank you. 😊
Thank you! 😊
Cat Jim again. What a great visit back to memories. You always have the best views of the beautiful area. Loved the sound of the running stream. Could use that for a great nights sleep LOL. Keep up the great videos always grab a cup of coffee and look every Sunday morning. What a great way to enjoy a cup of Joe. Stay safe and healthy.
We spent the summer 1969 on our honeymoon in the Colorado Rockies, so this brings back some wonderful memories. Thanks!
Wow, I am awestruck by the beauty of Maroon Bells State Park and the scenic drive. I plan to visit there someday in the near future. Thanks Catherine for taking us along. I always enjoy your Sunday morning vlog with a cup of coffee.
Wow...once again another mindblowing video...thank you Catherine for sharing all this beauty...🙏
Amazing scenery, cinematography and music! Just... WOW! Thank you sooooo much!
Outstanding video. You did a fantastic job of showcasing these two beautiful areas of Colorado. I wish more travel videos were like this one. Keep it up!
I always wanted to Hike Maroon Bells! This areas is a photographers dream!
Some places are just more beautiful than others in their own way (Maroon Bells). There are so many special places that when someone asks what's your favorite you get brain lock and the only answer is yes. I went through independence pass for the first time in decades last summer. It was a lot like I remembered, but Aspen had grown all the way out to it. I loved this video. I want to say you have no idea how nice it is to see these each week from your home office in the city, but you know exactly how nice that is. So you know how much you are appreciated by kindred spirits.
Thank you so much Vern. Makes me happy to know the videos bring you joy.
Another stunning video, Catherine!! Thank you for your masterful work and perfect music pairings! Perfect for the majesty of the Bells!! ❤️
Loved the sound of the aspens quaking!
Dang it Cath, you did it again ! Those mountain peaks just blows me away, I watched in awe of those Majestic rocks that God's hands created to perfection. Amazing.
Amazing area...
I love it when you take us along on a beautiful ride. Nothing like big white clouds and deep blue sky! I never made it to the Bells on my many trips to Colorado - your video is so clear and beautiful - I almost thought I was there for a few seconds! You're the best Cat -thanks!
Incredible scenery once again.
Those views were fantastic!!! Thank you for taking us along.
I first hiked that area in the mid-70s. I drove out from Alabama with two friends. We hiked over Buckskin Pass to Snowmass Lake. The next morning we woke up at Snowmass Lake to about six inches of snow. Hiked down Snowmass Creek to come out. A few years a later, my brother and I started the same way, but from Snowmass Lake we went across Trailrider Pass to Marble. Terrific scenery either way.
Another amazing video! Thank you!!
HURRAY!!! Awesomeness. Love this area!
Awesome! The music that accompanied the drive over the pass was beautiful!
Sunday Breakfast with Cat!
Thank you Matt!
Ouah, what a video Catherine ! Images, scenery, angle , you show the Maroon bells as I didn t capture them. It was a pure moment of hapiness and "zenitude " . Thank you a lot !!
Hopefully we can travel again to your beautiful country soon!!! Cheers.
Yes the music was awesome with this one. I love watching your videos. The places you go are amazing. I didn't know about the bells. Thank you for all you do to produce these for us.
Thank You for TAKIN’ ME ALONG ❤️ ✔️ 🦅
Wow what a most beautiful and amazing hike....the best I've seen....thank you. 💗♥️❤️💓🧡💜💚💛💙❣️💕💞🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸
Bravo! Great adventure and the saga continues! Thank you! Be safe, be well!
Thanks for sharing this beautiful landscape with us. Your gentle personality fits just perfect. Please stay safe!
Good Sunday morning to you Catherine. My first reaction to spectacular scenery ,was WOW! I would love to see "The Bells" in person some day. I also couldn't help but think how different it will look in another month or so, when the Aspens change colors. You might have to revisit this magnificent place! I think the same can be said of Independence Pass. We live in such a beautiful country and God has blessed us with these wonders of nature. Thanks for taking us all along for the ride! As always, love you and be safe! 💖🙏
You are right absolutely gorgeous picture postcard perfect makes me wonder what I'm doing here thank you again cat you are absolutely wonderful yourself 🤠🐝
Cat, I lived in Aspen during the winter of 1977 and 1978 and skied 30 miles everyday mostly on Aspen Highlands Mountain. Back then the highest lift ended at the beginning of the Run called Steeplechase. From there I could see the Maroon Bells, but could not get there from the resort. Thank you for making it possible for me to finally see them up close and personal from your video!
Beautiful video! Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Some years ago I rode my bike over Independence Pass on the Bicycle Tour of Colorado. We also had time to visit the Maroon Bells. That whole area is so beautiful!
Catherine, my wife and I really appreciate how relaxed you hike the trails. We have hiked with groups (and individuals) who seem to think hiking is a race. It’s truly a pleasure relaxing and watching your videos! Thank you for taking us along.
Absolutely stunning Catherine. You captured the true essence of the area, such an emotional and spiritual experience.
Beautiful country colorful and watching and enjoying the video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 awesome Catherine and 😊👌😎❤️ and be safe out there too
The sounds of the high aspen leaves forest, the streams, the winds and breezes are like a breath of life into your soul.
Sooooooooooooooo majestic.
So beautiful! I just spent the last 45 days in Colorado. Obviously just scratched the surface on it’s beauty. Thanks for sharing this stunning hike.
Wow!!! I went to Aspen once in April and that road was closed and do I couldn't drive it... now I know what I missed... thank you Cat... Gary from Snow Canyon, Utah
The first snow!? Glad you're able to experience so much of the beauty! Find it funny we go to the SaMe Places! Drove to the Snowmass trailhead this last July & was able to BP without Permits, shuttles or any requirements that I seen posted
That was a beautiful journey. Thanks for taking us with you.
Thank you Chad!
Beautiful! ❤️
The peaks reminded me of pyramids because of their shapes. Great video, Catherine!
Great video. Beautiful mountain range. Wow! Thank you for the information on accessing the bells!
Thank you Joe!

So beautiful, Catherine. Thank you.
You are AWESOME !!! Your driving scared me. Stay Safe. ENJOY !!!
Your photography is outstanding as usual. This one is exceptional. I try to watch/listen while I work and that is not possible. Best I stop what I am doing and just watch, otherwise I miss too much.
Thank you for sharing your photos and videos are awesome...... thanks again 😊😊😊😊😊
Gosh Catherine. This was one of the most beautifully shot videos ever. Just stunning. I am trapped at home in smokey NorCal. This was greatly appreciated to watch on my treadmill. Thank you.
Awestruck

Excellent video CG! You found the "For Purple Mountain majesties" verse of the song! Man driving passes with a camper scares me....lol You're a brave chick! Safe travels!
Wow. Just wow. I'm almost speechless. Thank you!
All I can say is WOW 😯! ty
Cat, you are the best. There were a couple of scenes that did not look real, like a painting as you mentioned. The sound of the wind blowing through the Aspen trees was wonderful.
