This drive begins at the RMNP gate on US 36, just outside Estes Park, Colorado, and takes you over America's highest continuous paved road, Trail Ridge Road. The TRR is US 34, and reaches a high point of 12,183 feet (3,713 meters), and later crosses the Continental Divide at Milner Pass at 10,758 feet. The video ends in the area of the Colorado River Trailhead, on the west side of the park.

I used to work in a restaurant right @ the edge of the Park (summer of '78 & '79) & would meet people traveling through. I went through many times with my family, it's one of my favorite drives. Thanks for making this.

I love this! Every curve of that road is intimately familiar to me. We go to the park 30 times a year. We go over Trail Ridge probably a dozen times in the summer, and walk parts of it in the winter when it's closed. What a lovely video.

I literally have this almost exact video. I drove while my son filmed, I guess on a GoPro mounted to windshield. I watch it over and over to re- live the wonderful experience! Beautiful place!

I did this drive in 1957, when mid-summer traffic was as light as it is in your beautiful video. You were fortunate to be able to avoid the bumper to bumper cars! Thanks for posting this. It's really fun to watch, especially with all that snow.

Ended up passing by rocky mountain national park on my way to LA and drove through this road from estes park to grand lake. I stopped at a bar in grand lake, drank, slept in my back seat, woke up with the sun and drove right back through it going the other way. Such a great time.

awesome. we just went there this last October 2014. we stopped at the 3.03 mark and got out to view the mountains in the parking area. headed back down because it was starting to get dark and we didnt want to travel on a road like that at night. i had enough of the height by that time anyway. would love to have finished the road. saw elk everywhere, a moose with horns, deer. so beautiful. was beep bopping to your music while watching, lol. enjoyed watching your video.

I have been over this trail so many times I know every single curve and after moving from Colorado this I will always truly miss. I'm actually looking to make a video for a family member who used to work as a ranger in the park and due to her health can't really make the trip and I'm no longer there to drive her. Thank you for this!

I just have one question: *WHY ARE THERE NO GUARD RAILS ON THE ROAD?!"* Trust me, when, you get high up, you will start to tense up. If you drive off the edge, you're toast.

Thank you for posting this video! I don't know what came over me...the music...the beauty...the anticipation...it brought tears to my eyes. I am heading to CO the end of the month & this is on my list of things to do and was nervous by comments on how "scary" it is. This helps see that I probably won't get the fear off "falling off" the road. What time of the year as this recorded?

As a Rocky Mountain girl, I have always wanted to drive about 100 miles an hour down Trailridge. Of course, I would never, ever actually DO it, ;-D but the segment between about 7:00 and 9:00 is how I, um, imagine it would be.

+Joe Fronczek It's video, sped-up during editing. I don't remember the exact rate, but it looks like it's about 600%. If I was editing it again today I'd probably run it slower, maybe around 400%.
