I liked your content until you made it political. Now I will not watch or listen.

I live here and work for Ouray County Road and Bridge, we're responsible for these jeep roads. You really do them justice Richie! So glad you love our neck of the woods as much as we do,

When I wake up to a new 40+ min from Richie i give it hell yassss. Words can’t express how awesome it is to experience the footage and all around knowledge you give us. Thanks DOODE!!!

Went to Ouray in the winter of 2014. The canyon walls in the town are so crazy looking at night when the snow reflects the light up at them. I know this video was a lot of work for you... well done my brotha

I really appreciate the history foundation you include with your presentations and of course, the "viewer inclusive" narrative and descriptions about the off-camber portions, sharp rocks, steepness, etc., and the fact that you stop along the way to take in the immersive beauty that is the absolute best part of the San Juan's as many people seem to rush these trails which I've never understood. It's virtually impossible to recreate the emotions and "seat of the pants" feelings that are a part of these trails but you come the closest I've seen without actually being there physically. The volume of traffic is somewhat shocking to me especially given that we're in the "shoulder season" now. I also notice far more retirees out there the last several years which contributes to the weekday traffic when the trails used to be far quieter. Travel safe and thank you for your outstanding efforts, the quality conveys your love for this special country !

I am so blessed to live in beautiful Colorado, yet I am unable to go where you do on these trails. I am so thankful for you, Richie, that you film your adventures here in Colorado and give the history of these mining towns long forgotten. I have climbed many of the 14'ers here, run the rapids in the Arkansas river through many of the canyons, but only wish I could travel these 4x4 trails. Thank you for being such a blessing to me, and so many others that could only dream of doing, and seeing, the beauty you show is here in Colorado. I am truly grateful! God bless you

The color of that lake was amazing. You could see right down to the bottom. Keep on living the good life Brother. 👍🙏👊

Richie, I can't wait for part 2!! This really is the best video on this trail I've ever seen. Spectacular job!!!!

Thank you Richie. This great-grandmother loves watching your adventures since I am house bound .

Can't wait to get my yoda running again it was my brother's ge had past away a month ago so ima build it the way he wanted it to be

Absolutely beautiful views. Sure wish my old van could go there. I'd spend a month looking around up there. Thank you for taking the time to share with us.

Great video Richie, in 1994-95 when I was younger and dumber my wife my youngest son and I drove our brand new 1994 GMC extended cab dually from Lake City up Engineer Pass and down Mineral Creek shelf road toward US 550 south of Ouray. Back then there were way fewer off-roaders so traffic was minimal. And yes, it was exhilarating!!

Absolutely the best coverage I've seen Ritchie and the history lessons are unforgettable. You put so much effort and time into these for us. Thanks so much sir.

I was losing my stomach on that last stretch down, that is how real it feels watching it! AMAZING AND THANKS SO MUCH, RICHIE!

What an Awesome GOD who created such beauty! Thanks to the Frontier men who made those roads, and GOD BLESS YOU Brother for your Time, Sacrifice, your talent, your Generosity, Knowledge and those nerves of Steel!! We Praise GOD for you!!! You have brought GOD'S beautiful world to us !!! You are in our Prayers!

I'm 69 and took my trusty o'l modified 95 Tacoma for it's 8th trip up Poughkeepsie recently. The beauty and the ruggedness keeps bringing me back as well as other trails in this area. I will be out and about as long as I am able to do so. Thanks for all the great footage and commentary, you put a lot into your video's. I pray you stay safe and blessed in your adventures.

Awesome footage Richie! Thank you brother for taking us along with you. I know it's a lot of extra work filming all of this but there are some of us that really appreciate it and enjoy it. Daniel

Oh my gosh!! Richie! Amazing footage. Great job. Thank you for showing me things I'll never get to see in my lifetime. I'm 55 years old and have MS, so I'll never see this kind of beauty. I'm a lover of streams and waterfalls and mountains and trees etc. This is right up my alley! Absolutely beautiful. And as for that lake, never in my life have I seen water that color either! Stunning and magnificent. I cried at the beauty in this video. I watch all your videos. I loved the Redwood Forest video a bunch too! Oh, and those stars!!!!! I've never seen anything like that in my life!! Like you, my dad showed me how beautiful stars are. Ever since he got me looking up at them as a child, I've always loved looking at the stars. But I've never seen anything that beautiful in my life! Thanks again, Brother in Christ.

Richie, This footage has taken my breathe away! What a Beautiful Country the USA is!! Thank you for taking us on this amazing journey brother, I hope to visit this someday soon!

WOW!!! Awesome footage of absolutely gorgeous scenery. Thank you Richie!!!

I needed a smile today and that place brought one to my heart, Thanks Man................Peace

24:04 LOVE that mountain with the rocky outcroppings! Just the kind I love to hike💚

NO ONE DOES IT LIKE RICHIE!!! AMAZING!!! THANK YOU FOR ALLLL YOU DO!!! 💝💝💝 PRAYERS FOR YOU AS USUAL BELOVED!!! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR LOVE ONES!!!🙇🏾‍♀️🙇🏾‍♀️🙇🏾‍♀️

Your videos are just getting better and better I am always happy when I see a new upload and that trail was insane I love the history behind it I always try to imagine being there back when the west was wild its a romantic thought especially with the way our world is now

Awesome ! My knees would be a knockin on those trails! Bucket list for sure! Thanks Richie!

Thank you Richie! I loved this video, I love that you incorporate the history of the area into the video. We are able to enjoy the scenery and imagine what it was like way back then when they were mining. How hard life was back then. I really appreciate you taking me to these amazing places that I very likely will never see. Those mountains and valleys were beautiful, and that lake was gorgeous!

Outstanding video Ritchie I’m related to Horace Tabor so it’s pretty cool to hear about your relatives absolutely gorgeous scenery Colorado is amazing excellent video series can’t wait for part two as always be safe 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Awesome video. Really enjoyed learning some of the history very much appreciated. Thank you kindly. Much Love 🤍🌼.

Wow that’s amazing! That lake looks like Gatorade Frost Cool Arctic Blitz or Baja Blast Mountain Dew....YUMMm yumm limestone lake thanks for sharing.

WOW! I can’t wait for part two! Thanks Richie😃

Great video and footage. Will be looking forward to next episode for sure.

Wow look at that view

As always Richie a great ride! That lake had the hue of an old glass coke bottle empty of course . Thanks for sharing and be blessed .

So love your work. You take me places I will probably never go. Thank you.

Richie this was the best scenery of all the videos in this collection super impressive

Our new favorite channel on KZfaq, we can't get enough!

Yes--as someone said thanks for all your work and attention. I will never see this. No human artist could ever rival this beauty that you've shown here. And the waterfalls--gushing pure water. Love the sound. Look forward to your next upload!

I'm way too old to do what you do, but I sure enjoy watching you do it. Thanks for doing it. Looking forward to part 2.

Very cool!!!! Thanks. Looking forward to the next video.

That's some beautiful scenery and thanks for your hard work Richie bringing us another great video. Thanks for sharing and take care 😉👍

Amazing photography content history great story teller !

Hi there Richie! Thanks for sharing your experiences. Love and prayers still coming your way daily.

Three times I’ve been up there. I’ve driven every trail in the Silverton-Ouray-Telluride-Lake Valley area. But Poughkeepsie still eludes me. The first time in the area, my Nissan Xterra was stock except for a 2” lift, so I didn’t go up it. The next two times, I was ready to do the wall, but the trail was closed by the Forest Service due to an avalanche. Last year, I went up to the Crested Butte area. The Devil’s Punchbowl was off camber, narrow, and straight down. Then I did Reno Divide and Italian Creek up there.

I loved this video! You’re amazing and good to hear shakes you up too. 👏🤣. So brave 🥰😘

His Creation is a gift to us. I thought you might camp at that beautiful lake, but I guess you didn't, just a thought. It's even invigorating for us to watch. Awesome Richie. This is your calling. Stay blessed and thank you!!!!!!!! soooo much!!!!!

Beautiful job, you have really become a pro at filming your journeys, I was awestruck as I am 70 and really can't get around too much. I live in this area and am constantly amazed at the beauty of nature here. Be sure and check out the Black Canyon, and Owl Creek Pass not to far from Ridgway. Came here to retire and fish the Blue Ribbon waters. Silver Jack Lake is incomparable. That area still lays untouched. All the wildlife is still there. Amazing does not do it justice.

yet another gem !!! thanks for this !!

Awesome video as usual that trail look laborious. Thank you for sharing its great to see it from your perspective ☺️

God is so AWESOME. Breathtaking. Been the BEST summer traveling with you ❤

Great footage Ritchie,,I bet there hasn’t been too many human beings that swim in that waterfall,,nice clear water

That was fun, Richie!! Great shots of the night sky!! Your Dad will love them. I gotta tell ya, ya look great!! Good coloring & healthy looking skin. You seem to have lost some of the tightness or tension on your forehead. It appears that the past 60 days have been good for you. Looking forward to part 2!! Blessings😇

All I can say is.....INCREDIBLE!! Fantastic job Ritchie!

Beautiful! Glad to know that there are still places in the US like that. Wish I had a Jeep! Capt. Titty

then lake was beautiful, thanks for sharing Richie. looking forward to part 2

Thank you Richie, a much needed break from current events

Richie, you live the life most people can only dream about, if they are blessed to have an imagination. I am in utter awe, every video gets better. Well except for the owl family❣️that was so special. Love your vids, travel on my good man and may God be with you always❣️

Cool Rich

You got some awesome footage up there and it is gorgeous and that lake I've never seen that color in the water before thank you for the adventure Richie you always deliver

Came off of Engineer Pass and mistakinly took Mineral Creek on a fully loaded Suzuki V Strom. Became extremely ill from dehydration and the altitude, couldn't even hold the bike up by the time I got to the intersection with Poughkeepsie. Went to lay down for a break and a couple in a Wrangler offered to take the bike down to Hwy 550. Swallowed my pride and accepted. That is something I will always remember. Thanks for the effort to make these vids. and you are not kidding, the San Juan's are some of the most scenic and dangerous mountains out there.

Another Beautiful Video, Thanks So Much! I’ve Never Been Far From Home , Just Never Got The Chance, And Going On These Trips With You Are Truly A Blessing ❤️

Absolutely Fantastic...... 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

What an amazing video Mr. Ritchie!!! Thanks for sharing and please Stay Safe.

That Trail looks AMAZING. I cannot wait until I get vehicle that's capable of doing that. Most of the time the camera can't show the grade but it definitely showed how steep that switchback was. It looked straight up. Thanks again for doing these videos and I cannot wait for part two.

Thank you so much for your beautiful shots.

JailBreak Overlander👍

Green aqua is the only way I know to describe that fascinating color of the lake. From the paint brush of the Most HIgh!

The mountains behind lake combo looked like spun hair! Breathtaking

Awesome views... Awesome trails...

Amazing 👍

Can we stop a minute and appreciate the hard work and dedication that goes into filming very risky dangerous trails like this? To get out, walk up to place the camera, walk back to the truck and drive it. Then pull over to go retrieve your camera. Is so time consuming and dangerous too. Truly appreciate your hard work Richie. These views are absolutely amazing. Thanks so so much for sharing. Xoxox 😘

Man, that valley and gulch is beautiful. Nothing like driving up a flowing creek to rinse off your tires. Not to mention rock crawling on a shelf by a rolling creek. Amazing footage Riche glad you got that footage for your dad.

Great footage Richie. I lived in Ouray for 15 years. I only did Poughkeepsie once. The sharp boulders slashed a tire. It's rough. I used to telemark ski Corkscrew in the springtime. The snow let go once and I rode the slide down and was able to exit left before being piled up on the boulders at the bottom. It's a land of adventure for sure. I was on the mountain rescue team and retrieved a lot of people from precarious situations. Some survived and some not. That's part of the game. I also telemark skied Imogene Pass every spring starting at the top of Red Mountain Pass, across the ridge of Telluride Peak then down Imogene. We would stop and eat lunch at "the fort" before descending. Once I found myself standing on top of a Jeep Wrangler that didn't make it when the first major snow storm hit in late fall or early winter. I found the owner in town and he was able to retrieve his Jeep around mid June. He was blocking the trail for the bulldozer that clears the snow early in the year. But the dozer didn't make it that far that spring. It slid sideways off "The Wall". The driver jumped off and was okay. The dozer was relatively okay too after uprighting it. Tough machines. Caught in multiple avalanches in the snow tunnel on the Million Dollar Highway. Snowplows won't push through avalanche debris. Had to get articulating front end loaders to clear the road. Keeping people calm was the biggest challenge. The mountains aren't for everyone. I'm mountain biking the high country a lot and carry a Glock .40 S&W because of run-ins with mountain lions. It's God's country for sure.

GOD is perfect look at THIS you're so Blessed my Big se*y ... I thank you so very much for showing US GODS great creation that I will never see except through ur view and I am blessed for THAT.. God 🙏 you 💚🦉

Richie, beautiful camera work again AS ALWAYS! I’m going to have to check that place out!!

Yes I agree that little town does look amazing , my kind of town to visit !

Buy the way, love your theme music!!!🎶🎶🎶
