- Take a relaxing scenic drive across the Rocky Mountains in Colorado in 4K 60FPS. The video starts in Grand Junction and we wind our way across the state to Denver on I-70. The slowly changing landscape from desert scenery to rolling green mountains and red cliffs to majestic towering snow capped mountains at 11,000+ feet above sea level makes this a truly stunning scenic drive.
This drive was made July 5th, 2019.

Can't tell you how relaxing this was to watch. Brilliant. Subbed.
@@WeThePeeps13 Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and subbing!
Cool music breezing through the Rocky Mountains
Colorado, the Switzerland of USA!
Ikr lol
The Afghanistan of North America. 👀
@@ramanelektronikeu1361
Aaaah yes or if you would prefer ja.
This has to be the most beautiful stretch of highway I've ever seen!
We wouldn’t argue with you there! Thanks for watching!
It is i remember driving this same route from grand junction to Denver and it extreme beautiful
Colorado is beautiful
This should be on every road tripper's bucket list! I had passed these beautiful roads when I went around the mainland U.S. in the late 90s. Precious memories!
I've driven that stretch a couple of times, matter of fact wife and I drove from Denver to Las Vegas and it is the most beautiful route we've ever taken!! Nothing comes close!! We were stationed at Buckley SFB for 2 years, 6/2020 - 5/2022.
The whole drive to Denver from Las Vegas is just outstanding!
Waving at you from junction.
I have been to every single state in the United States. I have traveled all over the world and witnessed many beautiful places in my life. In my mind nothing is as majestic as driving down I-75 in Tennessee during the Summer with your convertible top down or t-tops off. Especially when you see it for the first time it absolutely takes your breath away. If it didn't get cold or snow in Tennessee I might consider living there. This Floridian loves his tropical weather far too much.
Thanks for watching!
I just did this drive in my 1990 GMC van a few weeks ago. it's awesome to be able to see it again. I actually drove from Pocatello ID to Missouri.
Sounds like an amazing trip! Glad we were able to help you relive some of the drive! Thanks for watching!
The Rocky Mountains have really beautiful 🌲 trees❤ the scenery is absolutely wonderful ❤️🙂
Colorado is a special place!
Super beautiful sceneries and that 4K video is super super clear!
Colorado is such a wonderful place! Thanks for watching!
Great stuff. Thanks for sharing.
One of my favorite "scenic drive/dash cam" videos I have seen so far. Normally I prefer real time videos without music, for immersion's sake, but a well made sped up video with music, like this one, has its own charm and place.
The music is nothing I would normally listen to, but in the context of this video, it works well.
Thank you so much for these incredible views🤩☀️🏔
No problem at all, thank you for watching and commenting! Our channel is jam packed with beautiful scenic drives like this one and we’re always making new ones!
What a scenic root....! Lovely...
Thanks for watching!
I wish I could race this track in Mario Kart
Yeah....
That’d be awesome!
I did it in a Subaru lol
The synthwave soundtrack is a great touch. Loved it
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
I just did this drive in May, driving from Oregon to Kentucky. This section of the drive was my favorite!
It’s definitely one of the most breathtaking stretches of interstate we’ve been on so far. Thanks for watching!
What was your least favorite part of the drive?
@@user-zg6ud1lk7c probably the stretch through Kansas. Kansas is beautiful in its own way, but I got bored of it after a hundred miles or so!
Ive done this exact drive before while also listening to the first song.
Haha very cool!
One of the most scenic drives anywhere in the country. I'll be driving to Denver from SLC next summer, can't wait!
We definitely agree! I-70 across the Colorado Rocky Mountains is such a great cruise. Thanks for watching!
@@AdventureEveryDay Them mountains be powerful! Oh yeah
I use to go on the route 5 months straight back in 2017 from March, I miss it so much that when I get my own truck hopefully in couple years I’m gonna go that route again with my own truck my own schedule. Beautiful route but can be dangerous always becareful & from others🙏🏼
I don’t blame you, it’s a ridiculously beautiful ride! Hope you get to make that trip again soon! Thanks for watching!
Looks beautiful!
A drive I make several times a year and very close to the time this was posted...I had to look for myself just in case ;o) ~ I never tire of the drive and this amazing view in this beautiful state. Thank you for sharing.
I enjoy your videos! I lived in Colorado for 24 years. I have traveled this i70 route many times.
Thanks for watching!
Outstanding!!
I wish this was this my drive to work everyday.
We definitely feel ya there! Thanks for watching!
Years ago I had a commute through miles of pastoral hill country full of estates and horse farms and parks. Loved that, such a nice way to begin and end the day.
I hope I can go to Denver again but instead I watch this, nice work…
wow panoramic view, how i wish i can also visit that scenic place.
Thanks for watching!
These songs low-key slap. Def bump this playlist on a road trip to Denver. Lol
A chill music mix like this one is great on a road trip. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoy the soundtrack!
Great video !
I just passed through I70 (from Denver to Moab), but it was during long winter night. You video shows how it looks like during daytime !
Hopefully you’ll get the chance to see it in real life during the day sometime soon! Have fun in Moab! Thanks for watching!
I set my cruise at 90 and use right lane passing most of the time I don't have to defeat my cruise speed
Very nice sharing a ride ok thx for sharing
I love this drive, I do it at least once a year
We try to do the same each year. Thanks for watching!
Generous adventure !
Wonderful
Love to throw on a good podcast and watch this video...
My 4Runner was struggling on those steep grades I was floored and stuck at 60mph 😅
The Jeep Commander we had at the time (with the V6) struggled as well with 3 of us and all our stuff. Vehicles with turbos do a lot better in the mountains without losing performance at higher elevations.
Haven't lived in CO in decades, but I remember that drive well. 1:35:04 the famous 'Sleeper House' appears at 3 o'clock for a couple seconds.
A Very Nice Ride Along ,On my Bucket list someday.
great video. I enjoyed it.
I would love to visit US and drive on the I-70. Thank you very much for this beautifull video. G. from France.
Hopefully you’ll get the chance someday soon to visit and drive on I-70 through Colorado! We look forward to visiting France someday soon and seeing your beautiful roads as well. Thanks for watching!
@@AdventureEveryDay Thank you ! Yeah, we have good landscapes too but there is less surface area than in US ! Have a good day.
@@sirius8103 From what we’ve seen and heard of the French Alps it’s quite an impressive place to visit.
@@AdventureEveryDay Yes ! You can also check "Les Pyrénées" or for exemple "Les gorges du Verdon" :)
@@sirius8103 Thanks, we’ll definitely check it out!
Beautiful
Thanks for watching!
Amazing!!!
❤️ Thanks for watching!
Great Vidoe ... Thanks
@@AdventureEveryDay Dear Adam, What is the camera you are using?
Love your videos! What kind of camera do you use to record these by the way?
lovely thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Here's a neat interesting fact for you Grand junction is home to the world's largest flat top mountain it's also an extinct shield volcano it's called the Grand Mesa just off the beaten path on exit 49 going eastbound on i-70 you can follow plateau canyon all the way up to the Grand Mesa it has over 300 lakes on it and it's an amazing view once you get up there I must say it's one of the best places on Earth
Definitely agree, Grand Mesa is amazingly beautiful! We did the Grand Mesa scenic byway drive and have a video of the journey on our channel: th-cam.com/video/CmjZnny_Btw/w-d-xo.html
This is the only way you can go 120 mph from Grand Junction to Denver and not be arrested!!! Used to drive this route years ago… Memories…
Yes, I wouldn’t try going that fast in real life, especially not on this road!
This is a sweet video. I like the music, too. At 6:46, for just a split second, the synth reminded me of the beginning of the song, Havona, by Weather Report.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching!
You have a new subscriber.
I make this drive every weekend from Denver, to Grand Junction and back. 257 miles one way. Mt. Garfield to start the day on the left.
It’s still one of our all time favorite drives. The changing scenery across Colorado is breathtaking. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely stunning footage. I'm originally from Co. Denver area actually. But always liked the Western Slope mountains. Much more so then the mountain ranges outside of Denver. Just like the southern mountains past Colorado Springs. But that beautiful River that you're driving next to for so very long. What river is that? See this is what I mean I wish you would speak now and then. At least point out key places in your videos. Like the river what the heck river is it? Thanks in advance. And as always safe and happy travels💗
That would be the Colorado River that we drove along in this trip. Thanks for watching!
@@AdventureEveryDay thank you for replying. I thought for sure that's what it was. But you did confirm it for me!
This is normal speed in Houston Texas
I love this video. Hope to visit these beautiful places some day but gathering info on the web found too many restrictions due to the coronavirus. I’m afraid half of the state would be closed. It’s a long drive from Houston but it looks like it’s worthy. Blessings.
i like how put 2 Sonic CD Music in the video…
💙💙💙 Thanks for watching!
Love the scenic drive to Denver I've never been on this stretch of the road. How many tunnels did you go through?
Probably a half dozen or so tunnels on this route
I know this was from one year ago but it still makes want to be there now! Lol 😄
The natural beauty is timeless! Thanks for watching!
I subscribed and gave you a Like
Glenwood Canyon is always a great drive
Agreed! Thanks for watching!
Actually really enjoyed the lobby music
I personally feel the full transition from Desert to Mountains was at 26:00
We definitely love both the desert and mountain areas!
Beautiful scenery, what time is it around and how many degrees the temperature is?
Thanks! This drive was made in early July, and the temperature along the ride ranged from in the 90's near Grand Junction to in the 50's up high in the mountains, and around the 80's near Denver.
betty davis eyes at 12 min... nice!
pause video at 39:38- the rv!!!
💙♥️
Very interested in licensing a 12 second clip of this 4K video. Is this something that would be possible to arrange?
Shoot us an email at aedytc@gmail.com and we can discuss further
What camera did you use to shoot these? I've always wished I could record my road trips through gorgeous scenery but the camera never does it justice.
I love your work keep it up great scenery and nice music I love your channel Adam please connect
Adam hello there I genuinely love your channel I just stuck this on earlier and enjoyed it Thourly I love your other ones as well please have a blessed day and night
Who’s here to see the new Colorado DLC from ATS in RL?
Dear Adam, What is the camera you are using?
I drove from Grand Junction to Denver I-70 in heavy traffic all 250 miles
This video drive has no traffic.
We certainly were very fortunate on this drive. Hopefully your next trip will be wide open roads! Thanks for watching!
I live in silverthorne Colorado
This is a very deadly highway especially in Utah and arizona not because of car crashed more of car tires exploding I've never had it happen but I've seen it
I can definitely imagine that’s true. Thanks for watching!
19:14-19:15 UFO flies overhead!!!
what is the song at? 1:24:21
Front Range vs Western Slope...which is better?
I’m an undoubtedly big fan of both, but I personally favor the Western Slope over the Front Range. The more arid landscape with red rock sprinkled in is unmatched. Thanks for watching! Which is your favorite?
@@AdventureEveryDay I've only been to Durango. I live in California so I don't know lol. But I agree with you. I love the western landscape. My favorite is probably Utah overall.
@@tacocruiser4238 Without a doubt the southern Utah desert is my personal favorite for natural beauty. California is of course gorgeous as well.
I want to go back : (
To this day it’s still one of our all-time favorite drives. Thanks for watching!
here's a drive I suggest: Denver to Vegas
I'm sure we'll make that drive someday soon. We did Denver to St. George, Utah in this past spring, but not all the way to Vegas. Didn't record that trip because it was dark for most of it unfortunately.
58:14 my truck ....😂😂😂😅😅😅
Seriously?!? That’s crazy!
@@AdventureEveryDay yaa bro ...that day i was going to my new house ...you can see my stuff on the truck.....it's so crazy 😅
@@vidyuqxvrindxvxv8067 Haha we wondered when we’d hear from someone who recognized their car for the first time, you’re the first!
@@AdventureEveryDay it means iam lucky ahhh !???!
@@vidyuqxvrindxvxv8067 Certainly beat the odds! 🎰
Can anyone tell me if this ride is dangerous in the winter time? I’m supposed to drive across it in February and I’ve heard and it can pretty scary
It's only scary if it's snowing. You're more likely to get a clear day than a snowy day.
Their snow removal and ice prevention is top notch. It should be clear sailing.
I've been on it when it was snowing going the opposite direction up near the Eisenhower Tunnel and yes, it can be unnerving. Just find a semi truck with its flashers on going slow and hang out behind him if you're not comfortable going fast and you'll be fine.
@@timothyhaines556 thank you I appreciate it
@@AdventureEveryDay thank you I appreciate it a lot!
@@AdventureEveryDay Yeah in the dangerous portion of the road it's safe to follow a semi truck but you will need good wipers and a lot of windshield washer to stay behind a semi for miles....
This looks kinda like a video game
Thanks for watching!
29:27 good Time ti order grilled chicken from "la casita amarilla restaurant good place
Sounds great! Thanks for watching!
Awesome
sonic adventure 2 theme song lol
some of those sound like sonic beats on the video!!!
You are correct, good ear!
@@AdventureEveryDay awesome thanks!!! great picking on beats!!!
@@uniquesexy8908 Thanks for watching!
Play the crew 2. Almost as good if you can't afford a trip
Hmm, at this vid's speed, seems that "retired" private eye James "Sonny" Crockett--former Detective with the Miami/Metro-Dade PD OCB--has been tapped by his old employer, Florida's Dade County, courtesy of his now-again-current flame, Commander Gina Calabrese, successor to Lt. Castillo, to preform an extradition job from Denver. He's got another Ferrari as his "main wheel", and he's been visiting his son, Sgt. William Crockett of the Grand Junction PD and his grandchildren. Sgt. Crockett rides along to help Dad on this job. That's the "BACK STORY" of this vid, to explain the speeds of up to 140MPH.
If we DO take this vid, and imagine it, as another episode of "Miami Vice", well, we will then have to "ignore" all of those PEPPY AND EMPTY semi-trailer-tractor trucks, and, also being passed by other motorists! And, you know(?), about 40% of this music, could probably and actually pass Michael Mann's muster, for inclusion in this TV Series' Soundtrack!
All-in-all, this entire vid gives you an EXCELLENT grasp of the geography through which we traverse. Thanks a million, AED!!
Double speed seemed to fit this video well, the synthwave music fits pretty well too I think. What could be better than flying down the road through the Rockies?
@@AdventureEveryDay Well, what "could" be "better", is the reverse route vid that you shot. Going back to TV Land, I can just imagine, from a TV Series that was on the air, not too many years ago. It's "J.A.G." If they'd continued the series, Naval Attorney/Fighter Pilot Harmon Rabb (David James Elliott) would be a Rear Admiral by now, but let's imagine how HE'D do this ride. He'd be giving his lady-love, Brigadier General, USMC Sarah MacKenzie (Catherine Bell) a ride in his FA-18 Hornet, with her riding in the RIO's backseat, on deck, at almost Mach-speed. And every time they hit a curve, they'd be racking up the G's!
Which Camera/Action Camera do you use to record? Video are excellent.
Is this speed up? I have driven this before and it toke me 4 hours with no traffic.
This video is slightly sped up (playback speeds can also be adjusted in the video settings if you want). Thanks for watching!
Which highway is this?
Interstate 70
woaw ! what a wonderful trip and landscape.
but: why are you so oftenly driving on the left lane when the right is clear? very strange way of safe driving
We’re always aware and mindful of what’s going on behind us with other cars and careful to make sure we’re not preventing anyone from passing, especially while in the left lane (something you can’t see in the video). So our driving is as safe as anyone else’s. Thanks for your concern for our safety though.
I finally got my right to drive in the left lane so if you want to pass learn how to drive by using the right lanes to pass
Please visit CO if anyone is interested, but do not move here. We do not currently have the infrastructure for the amount of people here and all the new additions are not helping!
Worse stretch of Interstate in the country. Scenic, absolutely. Fun to drive. Hell no. Condition of the road is terrible. Huge bumps and pot holes. Never ending construction going either way. Needs to be at least three lanes all the way. And the part east of Vail where it reduces from 3 to 2 lanes causes walking pace speeds and miles and miles of back up. If there is an accident, forget about it. I drove from Grand Junction to Denver yesterday. Took me 6.5 hours. Miserable drive. And make sure your vehicle is in good condition. Lots of steep inclines and curves. And like everywhere else in this country, the far right lane is now the fast lane.
you put way too may ads in your video,
well i hope you dont get a speeding ticket!
There is nothing scenic about interstate 70 from Grand Junction to Denver. Take the back roads.
Dumb ⬆️. Glenwood Canyon is stunning. The mountains along the entire trip are stunning.
Music isn't cool
You're not cool. :)
Gee I love Colorado. Way to much road to fast and boring sorry!!
Playback speed can be set in the video settings, since you aren’t aware. But sorry, can’t help you if you find Colorado boring though…
ITS a great Road scenic view
