You have no idea what things you'll see in Colorado when you get off the main highways.
We spent 8 days getting lost in Colorado to see what life is like in areas that you've never seen before.

So glad you made this video! I lived in Montrose and commuted to my job at Telluride ski resort (70 miles/1.5 hours each way). We had an employee shuttle until COVID. I couldn’t afford the commute so had to get a job somewhere else. No one is commuting from Montrose to Aspen. The 2 towns are 3 hours apart. People working in Aspen might live and commute from Glenwood Springs. The western slope is far better than the Front Range and the Summit County. It’s not too overrun except in places like Telluride and Ouray. Ouray is pronounced “Your Ray.” You totally butchered that 😂!

My mom went to Mesa when I was little and we lived in Glenwood Springs. Used to go Grand Junction for school supply/clothing shopping. Last time I drove through Colorado I entered from Utah to Dinosaur, took a side highway to Rifle (waved at the Meeker sign as a joke--we used to do swim meets there), then took I-70 through my old hometown, took a nap over night at Grizzly Creek (where we used to take school trips), and the next day visited a fellow Glenwood-raised friend in Aurora before leaving the state. Yes, my Aurora friend has since escaped "the armpit of Colorado". But my favorite route is going with my dad from Oklahoma to the Gunnison to Carbondale, and then visiting Glenwood. One day I would love to return, go to Dotzero, and head north on the highway that loops back to Glenwood but up on a plateau. We used to go camping up there.

I love Colorado, I am a native of Colorado. It has beautiful places that are great to visit, explore, and great sight seeing. The only bad thing about Colorado is wages, jobs, cost of living and the litter of homeless breaking into abandoned shops to try and stay warm during the winter. I would love to move somewhere else, but I'll find the same problem no matter where I go.

The dead spruce trees are from a beetle that has ravaged Colorado forests. Mountain pine beetles

Nice video Nick. I've spent many a vacation traveling the state myself. By the way, Ouray is pronounced Your-RAY by the locals, vs. OOH-ray. It was named for Chief Ouray of the Ute nation.

Polis should never try to correct anyone on the pronunciation. He's a devout Californian that has turned this state into California.

Colorado is a beautiful state providing you stay out of the large developed cities.

Trinidad imo is the most beautiful part of CO. Every time I drive to Albuquerque from Denver I always try and stay there at least for an hour or two. So beautiful!

If I ever move back to Colorado it will be on western side. Front Range is not the same anymore 😔.

Great video…spent some time there last summer. Sad to see the same thing happening there that’s happening where I live in the Texas hill country. Hard for young people to get a start…we’re killing the middle class

Yeah there are a lot of ppl moving into rural towns in TX hill country. Wimberly, dripping springs, Fredericksburg and now Johnson city. Grew up in Hunt and nothing ever really changes out there but now there are new multi million dollar homes popping up frequently.
