Thanks for taking us along on your adventures. I really like seeing our beautiful country!
I remember in the 70's showing my folks the "polaroids" of my trips throughout Europe while in the Navy. I would have loved to have had a camcorder like what you guys have and drones to show where I have been. Experiences like this are great, but sharing them is at least half the fun. We all appreciate it - and we all are jealous. Another invention - thank God for spell check.
Melissa would make a great narrator for PBS or videos! Her voice is clear and she is very descriptive! Absolutely loved the video! Tough tomes in East Tennessee but you two really brighten the day!
Totally agree, Lonesome Dove is definitely the best….your videos are good too 😉. Enjoy watching the whole family.
Road trip with the Morgans. It doesn't get any better than that. 👍🏻
Thanks for watching
Alberta and BC Rocky Mountains is also a beautiful drive!
My husband and I love a good road trip! You never know what you will see. We love exploring our beautiful country. Great video!
Thanks!
We have been to Ouray, Co. a couple of times and I agree it's beautiful country. We have never seen the Ouray Water Fights but here is a little piece of information I got online in case you are interested: We are proud to turn our town over to the local volunteer firefighters to host a marquee event on the western slope of Colorado; the Ouray Water Fights. Each year the crowd gathers on Main Street prepared for soaking and watching an epic battle of pride. I have a friend that saw it and said they had a great time. Keep up the good work and I'm glad y'all are having a good time but I think it's time you got back home and started cutting and building things. (LOL).I had to put in the LOL, like the youngsters do, so you wouldn't think I was serious.
Thanks, Morgans, for always being here. God Bless
Thanks for watching
Thanks for bringing us along ! Now get back to work! LOL😆
Great scenery. Glad your home safe and sound. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for taking us along. CO was my stomping grounds for four years.
Always appreciate your videos whether they be around home or out on the road! Thanks for making them & sharing!
Thank you for taking us along. I would never get to see that beautiful part of our country otherwise!
My wife and I took that trip through that portion of Colorado in 1974. What a great visit. Thanks for the memories.
Absolutely beautiful scenery !! Thanks for sharing !!!!!
Thanks for watching
Glad to see you came out our way, to Gods country. Live in Grand Junction, and hunt in the same area as you did for many years. Lived here for 57 years and still haven’t see all the beauty there is to see in western Colorado. Glad you enjoyed your successful hunt.
Mike, I like the videos when Melissa is involved, she has such an infectious smile. LOOK LOOK, LOOK
I want to give you a heads up about your truck engine. Many of the diesel engines use a CP4 high pressure fuel injection pump. When they go bad it will destroy the engine.
There is an aftermarket fix for it, or S & S diesel makes a complete pump. It's something you should look into because when it goes it could cost $15,000.00 to fix.
Pittsburg Power in Saxonville would be a good source.
Good morning Morgans and friends. Thanks Mike for letting us tag along. Congrats on the bull elk. Hope you let Melissa shoot first next time. Lol.
Take care and hope everyone has a great day. Thanks
Glad you both had a great time out west. CO. is my favorite place. Horizon is definitely worth watching. Lonesome Dove is also my favorite all-time movie. My parents took us on the Durango, Silverton train ride when I was about 16 I’m 63 now it was a great time then. Parents had a log cabin shell built in Buena Vista in 83 by Don Winslow and now left to us kids.
GOOOOOOOD SUNDAY
MAAAAAAAAWNIN TO ALL MY FELLOW OWTM’S FANS/FOLLOWERS from beautiful New England!! Up here for my 45th high school reunion & teach another tugboat simulator class next week…the scenery/fall colors are stunning!!….
I love watching your experiences in the mountains Ouray is the natural Hot Springs are swimming pools all the hotels have open Hot Springs that you could sit in you should’ve spent a night there it’s unbelievable that town closes for the winter. They get up to 400 inches of snow and over 6 to 800 on top of the mountains about a dozen people stay in the town to watch the buildings, but it completely closes all winter
We watched and both of us sat up and said, “oh no! they don’t know about the hot springs!!” This is the perfect time, too. Something to look forward to for the next trip!
Good morning, Mike. My friend and I. Which live in Aurora Colorado. We have both a 1976 M. GB and we took that exact same crip. It's so beautiful glad you enjoyed it.
Absolutely beautiful, i have not been in Colorado since i was 7 years old, Dad, Mon us 3 boys up Pikes Peak.. El 14,000 some odd feet - snow everywhere, it was July 1959 i pretty sure. We were not cold, like 45 f - loved it. Mom little nervous, us boys hanging out the windows, went across Royal Gorge Bridge, that was exciting :) It is about 1,200 feet above the Arkansas River, then it was wooden planks, mom was beside herself we loved it :) oh the good old days.... Thanks Mike brought back lots of fond memories. :) ❤💯🙏
There is nothing like a good horse opera. Thanks for the tour. Through you and your touring I get to see the 'States.
What beautiful videos… I’ve never made it out west. I love me a good western also. I’ve never seen “Horizon” the western with Kevin Costner yet.
25 years ago my next door neighbors, Costners here in western NC …had a local family reunion. To everyone’s surprise, Kevin Costner walked into the church fellowship hall.
Kevin…somehow knew about the reunion, and nobody had any idea about him. He was part of the family located here in NC. Needless to say, it made all the local newspapers, that he was here in the small country town.
Had to throw that in. I’ve always been a fan of his, and it blew everyone away here in Cleveland county, A big farming area since the pioneer days.
That is cool
Great trip, enjoyed all the sights you filmed, thank you for taking us along!👍👍🇺🇸
Thanks for watching
Mike and Melissa it 👀ed like 👍 the two of you had a great time together out west 😮😊❤
Scenic play for sure. So glad you got to do this experience. Enjoyed it👍👍👍
That Durango & Silverton train would sure be a nice ride. Reminds me of a song "The Silverton" by C.W. McCall.
Always fun to watch my favorite TH-camrs exploring in my home area. The Ouray Hot springs are a natural feature in that area (your pronunciation was correct ...You-Ray) named for Ute Indian Chief Ouray. Just an aside....you blew right through the spot where they filmed True Grit (the real one , not that Jeff bridges abomination)
I can't believe Mike you didn't get the ceramic coating on your truck but thanks for the video it was awesome views I am glad you and Melissa had a great time 😊❤
Thanks for taking us on your trip. I’d be changing both the engine and cabin filters once your back home.
Astonishing scenery, congratulations on the elk. Glad you folks had a great vacation. Wishing everyone all the very best.
That train ride from Durango to Silverton is awesome.... Silverton and Ouray are neat little towns. I was there beginning of October.
Thanks for taking me on the road trip. We motorcycled out west. God bless
Wow, that was an awesome video; I watch you'll show every day. I was a born and raised in that area (Cortez). out 20 miles North at Pleasant View, on a Pinto bean & wheat farm, Left for greener pastures back in 1964, I was 18 yrs old. moved back there before my Dad died in the 80's., a couple years after his death, we moved to Arizona, been here since., we try to go back up there every Summer for several months in our RV., just too cold there to spend the Winters, been back many times,. still have lots of relatives there in that country. What made it so interesting to me, that I knew exactly where you'll were all the time, ever when you were over Hunting in Utah. been in all of those places many times. Durango used to be an Awsome little sleepy Town, mostly a Ranch & town, it's sad to hear about all the homeless and the drugs there in Durango. Enjoy your Family's Video's, thanks for sharing Your Hunting trip. Have a Safe trip back home. May God Bless the U.S. A.
Good morning Mike and Melissa, loved the very scenic drive through the mountains.
Thanks for sharing 👍
We camped in Ouray in September of1975...woke up to freezing...absoutely gorgeous country.
Awesome scenery! Thanks for the tour!
Enjoyed the new video. Colorado is a
beautiful part of our country. My wife and I have made the trip twice through the same area on bus tours. Next to Yellowstone, that is my favorite part of the country. I was sorry to hear that the Durango area has a drug problem, that is truly sad.
Thanks for sharing your adventures
Good morning Mike and Melissa, thanks for sharing this fantastic video of your trip. Glad to see you’re home safe and sound.
Dust on the truck or mud on the tires.....HEAVEN FORBID!
Part of owning a vehicle and actually using it LOL.
I don't bother washing my vehicles they end up covered in dust within an hour after spending an hour washing them LOL.
My son and his family lived in Durango for 10 years. Always enjoyed visiting there.
Great road trip, glad you took all of us along.Have a fantastic day.
You as well
You made me miss our fall trips to Colorado and Utah. Love Ouray/Silverton/Telluride area. You are right about the dust. We haven't been west in a couple of years but I can still hind red dust in the Jeep sometimes from Moab. Ouray has hot springs that feed some of the pools
Mike, that million dollar highway from silverton to ouray is awesome and a nail biter!
Beautiful part of our country. We did a motorcycle trip back in 2009 and rode the million dollar highway and stopped in Silverton and Ouray. Talk about a pucker factor😮! Riding those on a motorcycle will definitely test your ability for sure.
We LOVE our motorcycle trips to Colorado. I went out there by myself to celebrate kicking colon cancer a few years ago on a new bike. I decided to go the southern end of Trail Ridge Road through RMNP. Riding from Fraser into Tabernash the trees ended about 15 foot from the road. A moose walked out of the woods, stood there at the edge of the road until traffic stopped, and walked across and into a field. Beautiful. Second moose I've seen in the wild and that road, unreal. I'm amazed I survive every time I'm out there. My first trip out back in the 80s I was like a country boy in New York City, lol. I'd be riding down the interstate with my neck craned back watching lightning flashing thousands of feet above me on the peaks. Glad you got an elk, glad you had a good time, and happy to see you home. Love ya guys!
I'm glad you were able to post. I have missed your content.
Melissa looks great.
Good Sunday morning, Mike & Melissa!! That is absolutely gorgeous out there. I'm happy the two of you got to get away. Congratulations on the elk, Mike. Hopefully, you had a safe trip
I liked your comment about no guard rails on the road from Durango to Silverton. Your comment reminded me of my trip over 35 years ago. There was a sign on the highway just outside of Silverton that pays tribute to the number of snowplow drivers who have lost their lives keeping the road between Durango and Silverton open in the winter.
Hi The Morgan’s. I was lucky enough to do that drive from Durango to Gunnison in 2015 in a mustang convertible. What a great drive. If you are ever back that way, go and do the train ride up the Royal Gorge and then go and walk across the bridge afterwards. 😎🇬🇧
Hello Morgan’s, welcome to Colorado. I’m in Grand Junction as I write this in western Colorado, heading to Golden in a few hours. Hope you enjoyed your time..
Thank you for sharing some of your trip with us ! Some beautiful country ! Glad you got home safe 👍👍👍
Sounds like a Great Trip. Over the last two years we have gone out there from our home in the Adirondack Mountains of NY. That place is so different than home. We loved Mesa Verde, Durango and South Western Colorado. We also spent a lot of time in Utah. The ultimate driving experience was on the Million Dollar Highway! Some people might get squeamish along the hairpin turns with no guard rails and hundreds of foot drop-offs but we LOVED IT. The sheer rock cliffs are amazing. The Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP was a wonderful place. Many people do not know about this National Park. We were there in mid May with temperatures in the 50's. During the afternoon a storm rolled in and the temperature dropped to 32. We left the park with two inches of snow on the ground! It was really cool! Your video brought us back to that wonderful place. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thanks for sharing your vacation time with us, beautiful out there!
Thanks for the change of pace, beautiful country, Thanks for sharing, videoing and trying to enjoy your trip is a challenging,
THX 4 THE TOUR...
Good morning y'all !!! Have a great Sunday and hello from British Columbia
Thanks for the great pictures. Wow
Horizon is good. Looking forward to part 2. Hopefully it will be successful enough to complete all 4 parts.
I enjoyed the movie. Thank you for your work.
Glad you enjoyed your visit in my neck of the woods.
America the BEAUTIFUL!! Looks like you two had a great trip. Thanks for sharing. FYI, I used your channel in my Sacrament talk. Thanks for all the inspiration!
Looks like you two had a great trip! Plus you have elk steaks too!
Don't feel bad, Melissa, about not harvesting an elk. On my one and only elk trip to Colorado during the 2007 rifle season, our group of six had a wonderful time, but none of us came home with an elk. Great memories, though. I think my odds would have been better during the bow season, but the group was mainly rifle hunters. Welcome back!
I like the north rim of the Black Canon of the Gunison.
Thanks for the ride the west is beautiful rain snow or shine I got to go with you and never left my recliner can't beat it thanks again and God bless you
Thank you Mike for sharing! Even though there is a bad side, homelessp,drugs etc. There is so much more to out way the bad. Beautiful scenery and buildings to mention a couple. Thank you for sharing your trip with us. Glad you were able to get some meat.
Lets see them Elk stakes on the Brio fire pit. Great Video, Thanks for bringing along.
I love the route that you’re taking. I’ve been on that route twice in my life and I really enjoyed it up there and I even took the train.
Beautiful scenery
Melissa at the wheel. Nice
Thanks for sharing.
Been here done this couple of times love CO
Look like a great trip.
Just Beauitful pictures , especially the old western town , very glad you both had a wonderful time 🙏
So glad you had a successful hunt and was able to see some of the amazing areas of Colorado. That trip to Durango is one of my favorites as there is so much to see and do in that area of my home state. Have a great day sharing all your adventures.
I think that's the movie with multiple chapters. Going to wait till they are all out to watch here. Beautiful country! I'd like to do a motorcycle ride out through there at some point up to montana, deadwood, etc.
Ouray has the best hot springs. That's why people are in pools there. Healing mineral waters from the mountain. No sulfer or sulfer smell like Glenwood Springs. My favorite hot springs. The town pool has water coming out at 104 degrees. Too bad you didn't pass through Montrose and stayed on Hwy 50 to Delta, Colorado. Then turn East from Delta on Hwy 133/92. We live in Paonia, Colorado, 30 miles East of Delta. We are surrounded by National forest. We're a mile from the town of Paonia in Delta County. Paonia reminds me of Napa, California. Everyone here has an orchard of fruit trees. There are big Orchards of local fruit. We have 30-40 ourselves on our little 1 acre farm. Then you could have taken the road to Crawford, Colorado and followed it on the North Rim of the Black Canyon to Gunnison. Anyway, we would have loved to meet you both. Glad you enjoyed the trip to the Western Side of Colorado. Denver is on the other side of the Rocky Mountains, and we are not Denver. We are living a sustainable life. We have an Amish cookstove in the kitchen, raise our own beef, chicken, pork, raw A-2/A-2 Jesey milk and fresh free range eggs. We have seasonal organic fruit from our trees and a summer garden of organic vegetables.
That is a beautiful area of the country. Stay safe.
Looks like a really nice trip, beautiful country.
The best video ref scenery iv seen , absolutely awesome thank you .
Hello! 😊 I went to Colorado once back in 1975. I drove my 73' Ford Pinto up to 14,000 in elevation to a place called Estes Park. Stayed there overnight but in the morning there was 8" of snow that fell. It was a nail biting ride down the mountain.
Good morning David , 🙏😸
Hello!
@@badcat4707 Good morning BadCat, Have a wonderful Sunday! 😸
@@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans Hi Mike & Melissa, Thank you for sharing your trip experience with us.
Good morning!
Can't believe you didn't let Melissa ride the train and pick her up in Silverton. She would love it. Out west was my parents' favorite vacation place. Glad you guy's had a wonderful trip. God Bless
I was blessed to see that country years ago. We road are Harleys out there for a week. Beautiful.
Durango ran the last Coal fired train this summer. Running on fuel oil now. Beautiful ride up. Natural hot springs in the town feed the swimming pool in Ouray. We visited Teluride few weeks ago drove majority of the mountains trails. I agree beautiful state to visit and hunt. Have taken several nice bulls and Mule deer or the years. Now get back to work ! 😂
Great video, Mike. Its been years since I've been out there. Very scenic. Glad your back home
What beautiful scenery, we live in a great country, It's a shame more people either don't want to or possibly can't afford to travel and see it for themselves. Glad you had a great time and congrats on getting an elk, I'm always available for a barbeque lol. Enjoy it and have a great day. Looking forward to the next video.
Morning Morgans! Ouray Hot Springs…awesome place!
Thank you! I enjoyed this video very much. KC Don 😉
Mike and Melissa, you have to see Horizon. It is being filmed in 3 parts. The first part, out now, sets the story lines for the next two. You really have to pay attention in this first part to keep the characters, relationships, and storyline straight. This movie was filmed in Utah and Colorado. Several portions of the first and second installments were filmed here in Southern Utah. Kevin Costner has purchased 500 acres a mile from our house in St George to build a new movie studio/sound stage. It was fun to watch them film cattle drives right across from the entrance to St George Airport. Glad you had a nice trip out west - the Durango, Silverton, Black Canyon area is beautiful, although we go in the summer to escape the heat here and avoid the white stuff there!
Such beautiful country, thanks for the cheap mental vacation. 😎👍🏻
The chug-chug of a steam locomotive never gets old.
I had to look at a map to be sure where you were. I didn’t realize how far south Durango was from Montrose. When we were out west around Labor Day, we originally planned to come from Grand Junction down to Montrose and the east through Gunnison etc, and come out of the mountains at the Royal Gorge. But there was some bridge being worked on so we had to go east on I-70 until we cut south at Breckinridge and Hoosier Pass to get to Colorado Springs. Thanks for giving me the photo of Black Canyon. Nice trip, and congrats on the elk.
That looked like a great trip.
Now that was some beautiful country. Thanks for the video
Great material for another channel, Traveling with the Morgan's!
