Awesome scenery. Rico (1960-65) is my is where I grew up before moving back to the Rez. Thanks for the videos... Lizard Pass my siblings camp there every year around Father's Day.
Wonderful scenery. Thanks for sharing it. Telluride began as a mining town in the 1800s but it was difficult to reach. A dangerous winding path zigzagged down the side of a mountain to get there causing the unofficial name of the town "To Hell You Ride", which was eventually condensed and sanitized. I visited Telluride in June, 2019 with family. Those mountain lifts are free when it is not ski season. Still a great view and a terrific "cheap date".
Bravo Riding Shotgun @7:29 for the slow moving vehicle pass. [I watched that pass several times, LoL] We were traveling North bound on I-95 in North Florida yesterday and all the Pennsylvania, New York, yankee etc, tagged vehicles camping out in the left lane [with no regard and/or education on how a highway operates] had the lane backed up for miles on end. We would work our way around them using the center and right lanes and when we got to the front, voilà, another northern driver, some talking on the cell phone, and without a brain or clue as they clogged the interstate.
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it....beautiful country we have when you wipe away all the BS
Trucker from UK. Mountain Mike, loving riding shotgun & the wonderful scenery from the passenger seat. Inspiring me to want to do a coast to coast on my vacation.
Absolutely beautiful, thank you for the ride. My brother drove for years and I didn't it, thanks to you I get it now, what a way to spend your work day 🙂
Wow, this has to be one of my favorites of your videos. Such amazing, beautiful views. I'd love to see this area any time of year. I thought the drive around Vail, Silverthorne and all the hot springs areas was beautiful but... just, wow!!
I loved this video! I love the mountains so much, but I live at sea level (Cape Cod, MA), so I only get to enjoy them if I go north (ME, NH, VT). That being said, driving mountain roads freak me out, with the steep drops and no guard rails. My husband and I drove from Laughlin NV to Vegas, and I was white knuckles the whole way, with the winding, steep roads and a complete drop off, just past the fog line!
Great video and scenery. I'm from Vermont and the scenery along VT 9 is as good as this. The difference is VT 9 is narrow, twisty, and rough 47 miles from Bennington to Brattleboro. Going EB down Searsburg mountain there are 3 runaaway truck ramps in 1 mile. Tom
Beautiful highway! I would love to drive that highway minus snow and ice!! I have spent 60+ years on the Oregon coast and am not confident in snow and ice, but I do love the curves!!
The scenery coming up over the summit, then dropping down past Trout Lake and descending through the Ophir Loop, (10:00 ish), is just spectacular. Following and crossing paths the nigh forgotten footsteps of the Rio Grande Southern Railroad nearly all the way down the north side of the pass. Phenomenal driving!
Awesome video Mike; beautiful drive, brought back many fond memories! Thanks for the shotgun seat with the ride along! Keep up the great work and stay safe!
Beautiful drive! Such beautiful country and mountains. I am still trying to learn to recognize black ice while watching your videos. No icy conditions in the desert, but never know when I might be on a road trip and weather changes. I like being prepared. I can't wait to hear how your grandkids like the new house. Stay safe out there!
Watch your videos ever chance I get. Love to see the area you have to go and deliver stuff for those people. Good job well done. Wouldn't want to live there tho. Congratulations on getting a nice house to go home to. Stay safe and continue doing what you like best .Really helping people out.
Thank you this is maybe the best video like I've seen two of yours and they are excellent and you are a good driver I like the fat if it says 25 you go twenty and you give truly helpful pointers both to truck drivers and regular drivers in a very nice way God bless you
I remember when Telluride was just an old mining town with a hip ski area. People tied their horses to hitching posts along the main drag. The lake you mentioned is Trout Lake, just north of the top of Lizard Head Pass. As pretty a lake as you'll ever see. Almost bit my tongue off there once, bombing down a trail on my mountain bike from the top of the pass, hit a bar ditch hidden in the tall grass. lol
Great country side.. My driving style was a lot like you.., be4 becoming bebound now 59 yo.like you. I like knowing what your doing w the gears and stuff. I love the sound òf rigs in motion. Yeehaw. You make being your passenger enjoyable & safe. Ty ❤ Peace😊
Another Great video to watch on the big tv, sit back & enjoy! I’m really getting anxious to get back to the area an drink in all that beautiful scenery! Thanks!
Here we are again, Mike. You driving and me stitching away. Messed up a few times though because I was looking at that gorgeous scenery of my favorite area in Colorado, my home state. Have to say you captured the heart of Colorado mountains and why my heart is still in those mountains. Beautiful. Will re watch many times to be sure. Family and I spent many a day fishing, hiking, camping in that area. So many memories. You can take the girl out of the mountains but you can't take the mountains out of the girl. Thanks Mike. Drive safe.
Hello this is Marion major from Audubon Park South Jersey it is such a beautiful view from the truck window I'm enjoying this video stay safe thanks again bye for now
Never had the opportunity to run that road in a big truck, but did it in a F-350dually pulling a 32' shit rack with 3 2000lb Black Angus breeding bulls in early spring. That was a ride!
Hey MMM.....this one got my anxiety flying!! When you turned left at telluride, and i couldn't see the ground to the left side.....I saw you flying over the edge!!! We would have all gone with you!!! Yikes!!!
Happy sunday from SW-Germany. It's close to springbreak here where I live at the Grapewine Region. Everything srts blooming and getting green here. Thx god this nasty ass winter is gone. We set our clocks 1 hour ahead tonight. Have a safety drive and keep up good work.
@@Mardasee Wx here before easter extremely up'n'down with temps. Ice Rain, Storms, mix of sun and clouds. But today 56°F cloudy with strong wids up to 40mp/h
Thanks for the awesome scenery. It's absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. I love snow covered views. Reminds me of the snow angles my kids and I made and even my grandson made with me. We made a whole group of them on the side of the hill. People driving by could see them. Still awesome seeing you go from snow to spring type of weather. Really enjoy riding shotgun. It's so beautiful seeing the snow fly. You're a great driver. Keep safe, be well and God Bless.
Another road I love. This one made me cry from being homesick. I got a flat about half way down Keystone Hill where you turned left at Telluride. No place to pull over or stop. I just rode it down to the bottom and ruined the tire.
Beautiful country. I would love to see a video from late spring or summer. This Nana from Texas used to vacation with my parents and siblings back in the ‘50’s when they were blasting out these roads.
What a beautiful drive and snow! I love Colorado and have been to Teluride a couple of times and love it. I live in Virginia but part of my heart is in Colorado.
thankyou for sharing; enjoy your info and sharing; glad you realize a semi coming up in back of a car/truck is scary! your skills and experience are fun learning ... thanx, safe travels
Hey Mike I work there in telluride i drive that road every other day. They take care of that road really good during the winter. Just gotta watch for boulders this thing of year when the snow starts melting. That's trout lake, another lake above it called hope lake. That's probably around 11k feet or more. Safe travels. Cool to see some homes in the background i worked on.
#96 Hello, Mike. I really enjoyed your video. I've been through that area in the summer with my Motor Home. Certainly not like Michigan! Great Scenery! Great, Mountain Scenery! Thanks!
You da man Mike! I was puckered almost the whole time and I'm sit'n on my sofa 🤣. I'm a southeastern driver and I ain't ashamed to tell everybody that I don't know a thing about mountain driving! WoW that was awesome! Is that a Volvo you're driving? Really quiet jakes. I've got you locked in and I'll be ride'n shotgun with you and maybe I'll learn sump'em. Stay safe and the Good Lord keep his light on you✌🏾
Another gorgeous ride. Comes close to Red Mountain Pass... that is my favorite so far! I would love to visit Colorado.....one day..... But in the meantime I love seeing it riding shotgun with you!
Oh Amerika the beautiful!🇺🇲🤠 I love such a Landscape, the Mountainroad`s and the Valley`s and the River`s!🏞⛰🏔😍 This is truckdriving in Perfektion!🚛 Take a good ride MMM!👋 Peace!✌
you have beautiful views!.I thought quitting truck driving was best for me in late 80s cause i was tired of my feet freezing..my toes would hurt so bad in the old cabovers.cool to watch what i gave up and my dad said thats a lonely life which it was in my 20s back then but i did did 5 years safely no infractions.I had one accident where out of corner of left eye where stop sign was a nissan car came at 55mph i floored the pete cabover 400 cummins and black smoke rolled thats what saved me in court i rolled over their car with empty linseed oil tanker.all i saw was their drivers mirror flying towards my driver mirror.simple thursday morning at 8 am.they survived.i rember my knee hit dash hard and it bucked and i swore.they actually ripped my trailer tandems out from my trailer.it was funny a old lady came out of the bank to my right and saw me floor it in court she said ya he tryed to get ahead of the car she said i saw the black smoke poring out of his stacks so i was in clear the couple tryed to sue me but they ran stop sign
I never heard of that road. I been over wolf creek. I wanted to take the back way from Grand Junction to Pueblo. vail pass was good last week I made it before it got buried again.

My stomach is flipping as you head down that pass. Great driving and a great view of those beautiful mountains.
Awesome scenery. Rico (1960-65) is my is where I grew up before moving back to the Rez. Thanks for the videos... Lizard Pass my siblings camp there every year around Father's Day.
Beautiful scenery, stay safe have a blessed evening.
Beautiful ride/scenery. Sunlight on the mountain tops was amazing...
Sir Mike !!! Thanks for the ride again !!! Keep them coming & ""KEEP IT SAFE ""!!!!!
The scenery was breathtaking. I love those little mountain towns that's some good living.
Absolutely mtn living..

Ditto, been there and done that, Slower Traffic Keep Right is such a tough concept for the northern people to conceive.

@20:15 WOW! I'M LITERALLY SPEECHLESS AT HOW BEAUTIFUL!
The darker cloud @ 24:45 looks like a boat or maybe one of those navy ships. 😁
Loving these passes Mike!😎Thank you!✌️

✓ Excellent video, very good landscapes.
Great ride. A beautiful winter wonderland thankyou. ✌
I remember when Telluride was just an old mining town with a hip ski area. People tied their horses to hitching posts along the main drag.
The lake you mentioned is Trout Lake, just north of the top of Lizard Head Pass. As pretty a lake as you'll ever see. Almost bit my tongue off there once, bombing down a trail on my mountain bike from the top of the pass, hit a bar ditch hidden in the tall grass. lol
Beautiful

Beautiful scenery, but glad that snow isn't here. As always stay safe.
Postcard perfect Mike. My entire life in Co and I've never been on this road.. thank you.. Stay safe.
That’s really beautiful, but I glad you are driving 😀🇬🇧
‘No need to panic” - from this pro. Definitely time to for the rest of us. Who can focus on the road with the views?
Cracking video, unbelievable views, and you even get paid for doing it!
Well driven too.
Stay safe, all the best, Dave in the UK
