In the best hidden towns in Colorado we go off the tourist path to find some unique and fun towns to visit and with little tourist crowds.

Gear I use for backpacking and filming is mostly purchased from craigslist boulder and thrift stores. I shop in these areas for outdoor gear because the people in this area update their gear every year and have good money, so I try to find last years gear for cheap in areas like this.

Wow. The negative comments are astonishing! Face it gang, Colorado is not a secret and it hasn't been for decades. I can't claim to be a native but I lived there for 35 years and raised a family there. Yeah, the tourists may sometimes be a nuisance but they're paying the freight for an awful lot of you. I'm not begrudging the longing for the good old days but I also don't much get your selfishness either. Why should you get to enjoy the beauty and wildness of the state but not others? If it's so bothersome, move to Alaska. Thanks for the video Ryks.

I grew up in Northern California and now live in Texas. I miss the Sierra Nevada's so I started visiting Colorado which is amazing. I have been back there every year for my vacation for the last 5 years and I am always in awe of the beauty every time I go. If you are able to live in some of these area's mentioned you are truly fortunate. I read some of the comments below and well tourism is a double-edged sword for sure,..on the one hand many of these small communities get ALOT of thier revenue from people visiting their beautiful space However, .I get the animosity created out of living in a beautiful area and then suddenly you are either priced out or find yourself overwhelmed with tourists who don't have the same care and respect for your space.

Don’t forget Kim, CO. Of course, it’s hidden for a reason! In all seriousness, Platoro, CO is a really neat town as well. After all, it has silver and gold in its name!

Platoro is the best place to go in CO. No phone service or wi-fi. Back to nature yeah.
