Thanks so much for the correction, and thanks for watching!!

Exactly

thank you soooo much for sharing this!! We will put this tip in our travel guides as well.

Do you have the car running when you stop or turn it off? Probably off, but I want to make sure. Thanks!

What kind of car was this?

Good tip 😊

Have a wonderful time!

Glad it was helpful! Good luck.

Glad you enjoyed it

You should! It’s so beautiful.

Thanks for watching! Good to hear from a Marylander!

Thanks for sharing!! We know several people who love Breck a lot!

@@WereintheRockiesI agree with your Breckenridge comment, all the little shops are pretty useless for the most part. It was pretty boring there, I left after two days.

I have only made stops in there during the summer months, but it is a great town for skiing & getting around town easily. It has always been a more laid-back and affordable ski town in my experience. Unfortunately, I haven't made it out there in a while. I grew up in Colorado Springs. I miss the mountains. I'm hoping to go on a road trip out there next year and pick up my niece's 2 oldest kids & my sister to enjoy some similar experiences. The new tubing area looks like fun. Thanks for the video!

Nice

Enjoy!

It is!

Yes, we misspoke, innocent mistake. Thanks for watching.

Interesting! It looks like there were two floods. The 1976 is called the Big Thompson River Flood and the 1982 is called Lawn Lake Dam Flood.

@@WereintheRockies That's interesting. By 1982 I was in the military and didn't live there anymore. The one in 1976 was very devastating. It wiped out most of the road to Estes up the Big Thompson River and they found dead bodies as far away as Nebraska. I loved your video. I haven't been back to Colorado since my husband died in 2017. He was also from Colorado. I miss the state. It's so beautiful, but I don't have the courage to go back yet.

The Big Thompson had to major floods one in 1976 and then in 2013, my dad working on Big Thompson road in 76 and his boss told everyone to go home because of the rain. Then in 2013 it happened again because of too much rain in one shot, and as the 1982. That was the Lawn lake flood and it basic buried the town in mud and water, because I remember going to visit a couple of year afterwards.

Thanks so much Lisa! Happy you enjoyed it and hopefully we did your home state justice!

You should also make stops in Golden (Coors Brewery, Lookout Mtn/Buffalo Bill's Grave), & Morrison (Red Rocks Amphitheater).

@lisablanton6842 We’ve done them, but not for KZfaq yet. We hope to in the future though! Thanks for the suggestion. We plan on visiting CO again this fall.

That’s awesome!

Glad you enjoyed it

How kind! Thank you for watching. We appreciate it soooo much

NJ-70 ends near Brielle. Interstate 70 ends in Baltimore. Easy mistake. Like you, we love the mountains. Thanks for watching.

Maybe we'll have to do a "part 2". Thanks for the suggestions.

I TOTALLY agree!! Ouray is one of my FAVORITE places on earth!! And the Uncompagre (sp?) Mountain Range is w/out equal. I also loved the quaint mountain town of Cripple Creek w/their free-roaming burros!! In the early 1970's, I lived in CO - off-seasons in Denver, where I worked in a law office, w/5 attorneys. But w/the 1st hint of snow, I took off for the slopes, where I worked for a ski lodge, doing everything from waiting tables or tending bar, to carrying luggage, checking in guests, cleaning rooms, & even stand-up comedy when the snowstorms were bad enough that regularly scheduled entertainment couldn't get through!! It was a great life!! In 1993, I took my 19-year-old daughter on our own road trip. We visited Breckenridge over the 4th of July. I still laugh at how freaked out she was to wake to a late snowfall. When she realized it was such a dry cold, that she didn't need a jacket & even her sandals were no problem, she decided it was the coolest experience ever!! ❤❤

😂

Came to say the same thing! :D

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching.

Our pleasure!

Robin, you’re the best! Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed it

Glad you think so!

That would’ve been awesome.

🤞🏼

Thanks so much for the compliment. Thanks for the detailed history!

I’m not sure if the number 53 has any significance. Thanks for watching.

A little spice. I had 3 second cousins that lived on the road between Glenwood Springs and Aspen, visited in 1967. One had about 1500 acres close to Aspen and said he had been offered $3 million for it looked like a pile of rocks to me, he told me that the people in Aspin wanted to close the road from Glenwood to Aspen to keep out the riff wraf. Only way to get in would be by airplane. He did not mind to much as he and his son had an airplane.

It was June

😂

Colorado is great!

We were there the end of June/beginning of July. I would not go earlier than that. Many people like to go in the fall to see the beautiful fall colors.

@@WereintheRockies That's what we are planning to go. Thanks again for great video

Very cool! Thanks for watching.

It’s an iPhone 14 Pro Max. Thanks for watching.

I know!! We actually tried, and just couldn’t pull it off. Next time!!

That’s on my list when we go to Colorado this summer!!! Any other good pizza places to try in Colorado?

@@tonyeatspizzaas far as food goes. make a reservation at casa bonita! 💯 You will love it! It has a heck of a waiting list tho. Do not miss this. Also burrito company is amazing! Chubbys green chili fries 🔥 I could go on all day

@@TicklesMikeHawk - Awesome, thank you! Yep we’re signed up on email list for Casa Bonita. Hope we get in!!

Lol... Hopefully, the food is better. Casa Bonita was always a treat to go to growing up in Colorado Springs. My parents would take us there and couple it with Elitch Gardens amusement park. The food was pretty terrible, but it was a cool place and one of my favorites. If you go to Colorado Springs, Fargo's Pizza Company is unique and has always been a family favorite.

End of June/beginning of July.

Thanks for sharing!

Yes! 😂

Sorry we're a little late responding. I believe the roads are open now but you may want to double check.

Where are you?

@@mc-si7vq brazil

We visited at the end of June. We don't recommend May if you can help it - too snowy or muddy on trails, and not everything is open yet.

@@WereintheRockies That’s a pity! I thought to visit Colorado on May, I have to find another direction now. But thanks for advice 🙂

Thanks for the reminder. I will try to include this in future videos. We did this trip in June!

It was not Adams falls. It was chasm falls. We haven’t been to Adams falls yet. Going this year though. :)

We would definitely move locations during the trip. Glenwood Springs, Aspen, Leadville, Vail, Breckenridge, Frisco, Estes Park.

It varies depending on your elevation, but Colorado's average high during that time is 88 degrees Fahrenheit.

Not sure. We haven't hiked it. Good luck!

We were there in July.

Thanks so much.

End of June/beginning of July.

June 2023

Yes, you're right. It was an innocent mistake.

We were there the end of June/beginning of July.

😂 That’s insane!

Overarted

Why don't you put my down for 4..... incase i want seconds

Best lunch deal in Aspen is the $4.00 hot plate from the City Market deli; take it outdoors & enjoy it at the local park. Beats those pricey places hands down! 😊🎉

I’m sorry to hear that.

Honest mistake.
