Just found this by accident. I grew up in Durango, Ouray and Telluride. I loved the fishing, hunting, skiing, four-wheeling, camping, etc. Went to college in Gunnison and woked at a guest ranch in Lake City. Loved it.
@@HashtagColoradoLife I was in high school and worked two summers at the VC (Vaquero Conquistadores - cowboy conqueror) Guest Ranch. It was a resort for well off people. We had horses to ride, hiking trails, a lake with boats to rent, berbecus and some amazing chefs on staff. Plus, nearby there is Lake City with off-roading trails. We had Jeeps for rent as well. I got to meet Jock Mahoney who also worked there as second in command. He loved to go shoot skeet so my job was to keep his shotguns loaded and pull the handle releasing the skeet. He was tall. Not sure if the place is still operating as a guest ranch or not. A lot of rich people visited. The really well off people were very nice, most of the newly well off people were, well, Karens in today's term. One of the buests worked at MIT on LEDs and as a pasttime he showed us his invention. He would put in the boy's birthdate and the LEDs would flash around and the machine would make music. Then he would put in your girlfriend's birthdate (mostly we just had boys and girls back the and knew the difference). It would flash her lights and play her music. You would watch and listen to see if you were compatible. Corny, I know, but it was fun. Thanks for the reply. Blessings.
Thanks for only briefly mentioning where I'm moving to in Colorado. I'd like it to remain nice, like it is now. Definitely don't want a bunch of zombies migrating in and insisting the locals make it more like the dystopia they escaped from.
There are still lots of great places in Colorado that haven't been taken over by tourists! You just gotta find those hidden gems. Thanks for watching! :)
I visited Colorado twice and absolutely fell in love with it. I made it my dream to become Colorado resident and plant my roots there soon if not sooner. Great video. I can't wait to experience all that Colorado has to offer. Beautiful state .
If you loved Colorado I highly recommend visiting Alaska at least once in your life. From Alaska living in Colorado both are amazing, just too many people in Colorado for me
Cant believe I missed my favorite TH-cams new video! I think I already know more about Colorado than I do my own state really can't wait to come visit some of these locations!
Last year, did the San Juan area in the last week of SEP. This year, going to try the first week of OCT. Nevertheless, love the area any time of the year!
Glad to hear it! Hopefully you can visit during the upcoming fall or winter season as those are some of our favorite times of year. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this video! I've been searching when it's the best time to visit Colorado in the fall, cause I've been to Denver a couple of times and I visited it once in the autumn, and I absolutely loved the colors! I'll be coming again next October 1st and I really want to see the beautiful colors of my favorite season! :)
Yay! So glad you found this video helpful. We agree that fall is an amazing time of year and one of our favorite seasons too. Hope you enjoy your next trip to Colorado!
If you are there and near Telluride, they used to have a Coloride to Telluride. But head out to Ophir. The trees on both sides of the road are turning colors and and make a canopy. Also plan ahead and take the Durango to Silverton arrow gauge railroad. It is stunning.
The color change has stages in Colorado. Early autumn is northern Colorado section. And highest elevations change first and work its way down mountains into valley spanning 3 weeks. October first for mountain aspen to change that area would be Grand Mesa, Gunnison to Monarch pass, book a ride to Maroon Bells, and ect
Beautiful great video! I was planning to visit this fall but it’s not going to be next fall! I was thinking the last week of September but thinking I might move it to first week of October to be sure to see the foliage. Will be centred around Aspen, crested butte, Keebler pass - do you think first week of oct is a safe bet?
The recent predictions by the local news folks put this year's fall color a bit earlier (monsoons to blame). Their best guess for the Crested Butte / Aspen area prime color is Sept 22 - Oct 3. But there really is no way to predict mother nature and know for sure. And it's not like you would miss the color if you were a week late. It just wouldn't be that vibrant orange and more likely to find trees with the leaves already beginning to fall.
@@HashtagColoradoLife ohh interesting! I think i read that it was late- but I think it’s very specific to the area. Thank you for your reply it is most helpful 👍🏻
this video has amazing information abou the fall season in colorado.. ill be going this year on the middle of september can u let know where i could go to see this wonderful falling along with nice colors?
Where are some high altitude drives within 3 hours to Denver open in October? I know many scenic high altitude roads close come the end of September /:
In my experience, high elevation roads and passes throughout the state usually remain open until the weather dictates otherwise -- usually Oct/Nov. Some years there will indeed be a storm that blasts thru and closes things early. Also gravel and other lower quality constructed roads tend to close earlier as they are harder to maintain. But to answer your questions, the first two roads that come to mind close to Denver is Pikes Peak highway and Trail Ridge Road in RMNP.
Oct is a GREAT time be here for fall color. Half way thru the month might be a bit late to see color in the northern or real high elevation parts of the state. But if you stick closer to the front range or southern CO, you will be in prime time for autumn tree change.
Hi, Hope you are doing well. I liked your video. I am planning to visit Colorado with my family during mid of October 2024. Could you please suggest me an itinerary for 7 days. Will take flight from Phoenix to Denver. Thanks in advance.
You can never go wrong with Glenwood Springs, Rocky Mountain National Park, any of the Canyons, and the Great Sand Dunes. All awesome places to visit in Colorado depending on the time/budget you have! Enjoy!
What a joke. No mention of southwest Colorado? Ever hear of the San Juan skyway? Telluride? Last. Dollar Road? Seriously, you know very little about the best paces to see fall color in Colorado
Actually no, going on a Colorado hike in the fall was #7 on our list and we mention several hikes as examples! I didn't mention Canon City in this vid. :) Thanks for watching though!

Working on a ranch would be incredible to do for a season! Sounds like quite the journey.

@@jameshill8493 Been to Sitka AK. It was incredible. The nature and wild of AK outshines any of the lower 48 states.
Thanks for sharing, Bro! I often hike at Ute Valley Park & Seven Bridges.
We haven't been up to 7 Bridges since they redid the road up there.
@@HashtagColoradoLife It's really nice, but it's too crowded now.
Cant believe I missed my favorite TH-cams new video! I think I already know more about Colorado than I do my own state really can't wait to come visit some of these locations!
Yeeees! Come visit and hang out with us in this awesome state. lol
Definitely a fever centric view here, good ideas for tourists flying into and out of Denver
Colorado in the fall is a beautiful season! Thanks so much for watching.
Last year, did the San Juan area in the last week of SEP. This year, going to try the first week of OCT. Nevertheless, love the area any time of the year!
We go to Colorado frequently.

Hard to list them all but Kebler Pass Crested Butte is super worthy. Several 3 hr hikes in nothing but yellow.
Yes, for sure! We agree about Kebler Pass and Crested Butte. Very pretty trails and scenery.
Peak to Peak highway from Central City to Estes Park is a good one as well at the end of September.
Oh yes, great recommendation! Thanks for sharing 👍
this video has amazing information abou the fall season in colorado.. ill be going this year on the middle of september can u let know where i could go to see this wonderful falling along with nice colors?
Anywhere really. Just be here anytime in late Sept to late Oct and you should be able to find some great fall colors!

@@HashtagColoradoLife thankyou.
Will it be late to visit next week ?
The mountains have mostly already experienced fall and turned colors. But the main cities are still changing and its pretty much peak season here!

I live in Russia , I really want to go to United States
Hopefully you can visit sometime! There are so many a beautiful places to see in Colorado.
Audio is TERRIBLE

Thank for you the great feedback. I encourage you to go create your own video mentioning those places.
Dude really said canyon city was a top 8 fall hike 🤡
Actually no, going on a Colorado hike in the fall was #7 on our list and we mention several hikes as examples! I didn't mention Canon City in this vid. :) Thanks for watching though!
@@HashtagColoradoLife actually yah, your title and thumbnail are misleading / clickbait. Have a great day 🤘
