Beautiful country! And I can't get that tune......I'm riding Riding in my RV..... out of my head. Lol..... anyone else???? Lol
Me too. I sing it everyday with my daughter. ☺️
Driving to the West is our ear worm 😂
Hi
No, you’re not the only one😂
So glad you got to see snow fall for the first time.
A few years after finding this Chanel, I bought my 1st trailer. Thamks for the inspiration Robert
The man the myth the legend traveling Robert
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There are so many places to travel to in the USA.. The hardest part is deciding where to go. Robert's videos help in showing and sharing information to the places he has been. Making choices much easier to make. Thank you Robert for sharing with us
Absolutely! 👍
Look forward to every Sunday. Thankyou. Scotland loves travelling robert
So cool you were able to see snow fall. There is something peaceful and calming about falling snow. Great video - thanks Robert!
Watching these travel shows during Covid lockdown makes me feel like I’m on vacation. Thanks.
The dust pan was brilliant! LOL
Love that the Florida guy uses a dust pan to remove snow. Great use of what you have! Enjoyed the video. Love following your travels on Google maps.
Nice views, greeting from KL Malaysia 🇲🇾, never been to USA 🇺🇸 but have been travelling with Robert since pendamic last year, 👍... thanks Robert ..
Best videos keeping the rest of us somewhat sane
i agree!
It was great to see you experience snow fall for the first time! I've often used a dustpan myself, so good call! Fortunately, the ground is still warm during the very early snows, so it's usually no problem navigating the roads. One of my favorite places in Colorado is the Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park, only an 8-hour drive for me. Thanks for another great video, Robert!
2 hrs or less from Denver Metro and Colorado Dept of transportation has the Bustang bus to Estes Park , the town outside the park.... goes from Union Station $5 each way during summer and fall!! With Wifi and charging on each seat
ROBERT MARVELOUS...YOU DID THE RIGHT THING..WHEN REMOVING SNOW..U S E ANYTHING THAT YOU HAVE THAT WORKS..A DUST PAN IS EXCELLENT...GREAT FOOTAGE..THANKS FOR THE TREAT OF SEEING SNOW....BEAUTIFUL.
Gee you traveled so fast through Colorado.. you missed the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park and Royal Gorge outside Canyon City. Don’t let a little snow scare you off😉 It usually melts right away
Happy Sunday Robert! I was on US 50 last year about 2 weeks behind you. The snow was gone and the fall colors were really starting to ramp up. Next time you're in the area of Blue Mesa Reservoir, I highly recommend the West Elk Scenic Byway and the Traders Rendezvous and Pioneer Museum in Gunnison.
Your philosophy about serendipity dictating the route--oh so true! Looking forward to visiting Kansas with you next week. Happy Trails!
Hey Robert, I know you were on a tight schedule! Too bad you had to drive right by Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park and couldn’t stop. It is well worth a stop. I lived in Colorado for 15 years before moving to Wyoming. (Coming up on 15 years in Wyoming now) you’ve had two good trips to Colorado and Utah so far. How about a trip through Arizona up to Zion NP, Bryce Canyon NP, Arches NP, then to Colorado to Black Canyon NP. Follow your same route over Monarch to Salida, then turn north to Buena Vista and to Leadville. That is a gorgeous area along the Collegiate Peaks, the “roof” of Colorado. Then down to Breckinridge over to Dillon, then up from Idaho Springs, Colorado, past Central City to Estes Park up the back highway, the Peak-to-Peak Byway. Then you can hit Rocky Mountain National Park. Then you could go back east across the Sandhills of Nebraska, NE Highway 2. Just some ideas. 😀
Colorado is so beautiful. As always, thank you Robert for the video! 👍🏻🇺🇸🦅
Colorado mountain are so amazing to look at also Colorado is my birth place
Never a dull moment on Sunday morning when Robert uploads the new video. The 4 corners soundtrack always gets me. I am going to binge watch the 4 corners movie video you did a few years ago after this.
I know that highway 94 well. Wife grew up east of Pumpkin Center at Yoder. Yoder is just a Post Office with the ranch on the south side! A blizzard does not stop when the rolling hills contain mostly barbed wire fences and buffalo grass.
The view of Pikes Peak to the west and Colorado Springs in the valley between on a clear morning is amazing.
Love traveling with you....always great info and that rich, soothing voice, wow!
Thanks for doing such a great job showcasing my state, Colorado!
So glad your travels are in my life. Always leaving me wanting more. Thank you.
Beautiful video Robert. The Colorado covered with snow in Colorado looked very much part of the winter wonderland. Thank you for the Sunday treat.
Good morning from Phoenix Arizona, a great way to start a Sunday, Thank you Robert , safe travels, God bless.
Wow! I'm sure I've watched over 20 episodes and only just now have heard the "Driving to the East" song! LOL
Beautiful!! Robert I couldn't stop singing your song so I turned on this episode since I'm from Colorado.
Such a nice video, thanks a lot, Robert. I really enjoy it.
fascinating landscapes. Thank you for sharing your trips that allow us to live with you this great adventure through your videos.
Thank you Robert for this great video. It was a magnificent sight to see the snow capped mountains of the Rockies and the boundless land of the Great Plains. Thoroughly enjoyed seeing the journey with you.
Living in Snow country in Michigan I understand grab yourself a kitchen broom and sweep away
Gorgeous mountain views with the snow, fog and trees!! One day we'll get to Colorado and are looking to getting back out there!
Wow, Robert, thanks for sharing. Sharing in your wonderment at the snow, having never experienced it! Greetings from Kenya.
Happy Sunday Everyone! We like your travel videos, keep the adventure going Robert.
We went through there several years ago and the snow was up to the letters on the Monarch Crest building. Really beautiful drive. Thanks for sharing Robert.
Thanks Robert for showing the on the map the way you took. I will start putting this info down on paper to maybe one day go these places you are going. I can look forward to know what to look for. Very good video as always.
Love my home state, Colorado! Missed it!!! Thank you for driving through highway 50... we used to make bets of the first snow fall at work. Not a big deal...just another day in mile high Colorado! The highways remain clear, better than city streets.🌧☃️❄️
beautiful Colorado so many nice places to see and specially the southern part.
Wow, Big Blue Creek is beautiful, for sure and I'm glad that you've experienced snow!⛄🌄It's wonderful that Illy was with you at the time along with a Walmart ,a Bluetti ,and a furnace!
Grand Junction is my home town. My dad went to blue mesa reservoir and gunnison ever since i was 7. Great memories.
RW Lehman - Thanks Robert. I particularly enjoyed this video as you traveled US 50 through Colorado. I traveled this route two days ahead of you from Montrose to Denver and it was so smokey you couldn’t see anything and so that snow storm cleared the air. This was the worst smoke from wild fires I have ever seen and so that snow was a blessing by clearing the atmosphere. You will have to take this route again when you have more time and good weather conditions.
Have been looking forward to this one for a while now. Colorado has been at the top of my travel bucket list for a long time. I was there one time before on a extended train trip that I did back in the early 80's. I was supposed to take the train through the Rockies to Salt Lake City but we were bussed instead over I-70 which was pretty spectacular! I always said one day I would get back but never have. I think 2022 after the border opens back up might be my time finally! Thanks for giving me some more really good ideas of what to see when I finally get to Colorado! One of the views when you were passing the reservoir totally looked like Kamloops Lake in interior of BC northeast of Vancouver! Looking forward to your next video!
Love the Rockies. We went into Granby from I70 the pass is about the same elevation. Did this in our 37ft class A. The smell from the pine tress is amazing!
Hello Robert,
thank you so much for every video! Is hard to know that we don't know when we can traveling for the next time in your beautiful country and enjoying the magnificent nature.
In this hard times helping your videos really.
Greetings from Germany, and stay safe Robert + your wife.
Evelin and Rainer from Bavaria.
Awesome snow! Glad you are enjoying it! Yup! Winter wonderland indeed! Thank you for driving through highway 50. The backroad is as pretty as I-70! I found that out just this past summer. Colorado does a good job clearing the highways. Even better than Denver or the other cities…that’s why some of my colleagues live in the mountains and work in Denver! An hour drive one-way…Thank you for showing my home town, colorful mountains of Colorado! Take care and stay safe! ❄️⛄️🌧
Glad I saw this one! After driving up to Breckinridge thru Frisco out of Denver on I-70 I feel more confident about your rig in the mountains. ‘My Canyon “can” do it’!
You missed Crested Butte and Taylor Park and Tincup. You should do a trip exclusively to the Colorado Mountains sometime.
My buddy i grew up with lives on cripple creek. Stuck in Florida. Ugh
Enjoyed, beautiful scenery.
Colorado is a beautiful state! It’s one of my dream to travel to through the Rockies and the most dangerous road on US 550 that you took couple years back. I am glad you get to experience the snow fall! I like watching the snow fall. Again, thanks so much for having us on the road with you, see you onto the next one in Kansas. 🤟🏻😁🤟🏻
Ahh, the MillionDollar Highway! It was so beautiful!
My next Truck is going to be the Colorado. I love what I have now. excellent video Robert.
With all the traveling, you'd think you'd have seen snow a zillion times! When we moved from GA years and years ago, it was during an unbelievable snowstorm that our kids just thought amazing!! They thought it was going to be a winter wonderland all the time.
We just took our first trip in a 25ft Fleetwood Pulse and some of those roads are challenging to be sure! But it was amazing
Relaxing episode. When I see snow I feel like home.
We agree about Interstate 70 through Utah and Colorado. It is absolutely gorgeous. We have also been from Colorado Springs West on 50 to Nevada.
Wish I had known you were coming through Montrose, would have bought you lunch or a beer! Fun to watch this this very familiar trip through the state, (and a little sad at what beautiful places were missed).
The drive up Pikes Peak is awesome and scary. There was snow on the peak in July. Really cold. We lived in Colorado Springs for 7 months while my husband was in the service.
❤️ Loved seeing Colorado again, I miss living there!!
Dealing with snow. Ugh. You use what cha got. I’ve even used a closed umbrella.
Sure turned things quit beautiful for you to see. ❤
Love it, journey to the east. Can´t wait to see next - Thanks Robert and stay save.
Great video Robert! It was awesome to meet you through our friend Patricio L. last week...you’re inspiring me to do RVing! Thank you buddy! 👍🏻
Muy bueno el video Robert, pero lo mas espectacular a mi criterio fue la nevada nocturna, increible de verdad. Saludos desde Argentina.
Nice video, a lovely virtual walk, it's very relaxing. Thanks for sharing!
I must have walked past your rig in Salida. I was backpacking in the Collegiate Peaks and went in to town to sit out the snow. I walked up to the Walmart to get some food. Good thing you didn’t come in to town a day earlier. The storm was messy
You inspired me to keep moving all year! Thank you for being you! I'm in Colorful Colorado now!!! 😁💁🏼♀️💯
🥰🙏

Another great video. We didn’t get out much last year. I just love the view you give us from your front trailer mount camera. Hope to meet up with you.
I love this whole series Robert and welcome to my new home state, the great state of kansas!
Me encanta tus videos los miro desde mi país México nos movimos después de vivir en USA por 46 ańos a gozar de nuestro retiro y conocer cada estado que también tiene bellos lugares... saludos y bendiciones
Love your Videos..... a lot of information and adventure.....
🤙 Glad to see you traveling with your wife!
Ha..ha..ha..we are in Canada and this type of snow is pretty much every day thing for us in winter😀..our dream is to move Florida during winter😀...will use your tips soon to start rving...thanks for posting...keep posting...
Colorado , those snow capped mountains remind me of Switzerland , that is what you see on the postcards .
John and Kathy Howell of Columbus Ohio officially joined Traveling Robert today we love your videos!
Awesome job. Keep up the great videos. We truly enjoy seeing all of your adventures. Maybe one day we will see you at a campground and be able to come up and introduce ourselves and thank you in person. Take care, stay healthy, and NOW go wash your hands.
Well that is a nice start to a saturday morning. A relaxing robert video :)
HW 50 works. Tracks the Arkansas river and lots of agriculture along the way, but not in the winter. We did HW40 across on our last trip. Dropped us onto I70 just West of Denver to finish our run into Kansas.
Wow! Thank you, Robert. I am from Florida also. I have never experienced snow falling. I was surprised to see how much snow fell overnight.
Not all that much wait till you see 3 ft in 1 or 2 days
Ahhh finally I was waiting for the upload. My tv show every Sunday night 👍
Thank you for a beautiful video.
Hola desde Puerto Rico, espero no te molesten los comentarios en español pero así me puedo expresar mejor, gracias por inspirar a tantas personas, este video es uno de los más que he disfrutado por la diversidad desde el terreno y el clima hasta el dato de que no habías estado en una nevada, exito siempre y saludos desde La Isla Del Encanto.
Hello! New to your channel. The RV DJ sent me! What a great video. Lots of travels and so many things to see!
This is one of the best guy that you will ever meet!
Yes sir! I've recently seen some of that white fluffy substance back at home....LOL!
Hello Traveling Robert😊😊🎸🎸, I really enjoyed the ride through the Rockies along US 50. I have drivin that route westbound and Monarch Pass is very SPECTACULAR. I rode the chairlift to the very top of the ridge, overlooking SPECTACULAR mountain views in every direction. I also walked along the top of the Ridge. ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR! I also stopped to visit Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, on my way to Utah. East of the Rockies into the Great Plains are for the most part flat as a pancake, especially in Kansas. I'm really looking forward to your drive through Kansas. Great video Robert👍👍. Maybe you will visit a zoo in Kansas City and see the PELICANS😊😊! Fly Pelicans!
About snow and chains...if it snowed lightly enough to completely melt dry by the next morning, you would probably not have needed chains the day before. Chains are for snow of some depth and slick where you really need traction. I am glad you are getting some experience with snow and driving. It is possible to have snow at high elevations in July in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, etc. since you seem to be drawn to the mountain west more and more, experience driving with the white stuff is good. 😀
Thanks for the vid!
Hey Robert, I like your videos because they have the most scenic views. something we flatlanders don't get.
Big Blue Mesa has some excellent fishing...
Gracias por los videos Robert, ¡saludos desde España!
That was an awesome video. Love it.
Been over Monrach many times and never seen that parking lot so empty!
I love your videos too! Steve from Boston.💓💓💓💓💓
It’s so beautiful there!
As an FYI, in many northern states, its a fine to not sweep the snow off your vehicle before riding on the roads, to preclude sheets of snow and ice from flying off onto trailing and oncoming vehicles.
Enjoyed the video thanks 😊
Robert just watched episode 23. Totally awesome. Wish I would have known I live very close to the Walmart you stayed at near Salida. Could have mooched docked. If ever you pass through again let me know. Pelican head.
I loved driving Hwy 50 East from Montrose following the Arkansas River pulling my 2015 Winnebago Mini with my 2013 Ford F150. You would have done better to use a broom rather than the dust pan to scrape off the snow, but I found it interesting to hear about experiencing falling snow for the first time in your life. I got altitude sickness at the Monarch Crest. Couldn't stay long.
