  • We went on a little Colorado road trip from Durango up to Silverton (and eventually Ouray), along the San Juan Skyway, with lots of stops and views in between! From a honey factory, to a regenerative farm, roadside “hot” spring, to kayaking, and campfire cooking, it was an amazing couple days exploring a little bit of what the San Juan Mountains have to offer!

    There were no fire restrictions when this video was filmed, but Silverton is now in Stage 1 fire restrictions. Please make sure to always check to see if fires are allowed and ALWAYS FULLY extinguish your campfire. A good resource for this area: facebook.com/sjcoem/

    There's a bunch of the Color Red in this video (in the mountains & bluffs) & that's where the state gets its name from the Spanish venacular meaning the same. Spun/Whipped Honey has been my favorite since I was a kid. Great video!

    Love your hobo pie creation. I'll have to try it. A few years ago I learned about making Dough Boys. You use Pillsbury dough and form it around a one inch round wooden dowel (or a clean stick), then cook it over a campfire. When it's done, remove it and fill it with any number of things - my favorite is peanut butter and chocolate chips.

    • @AdventuresofAplusK

    Oh boy, the memories we have of that road are just phenomenal. We blitzed it unlike you guys, but the Molas Pass overlook was approached during golden hour. There was a group of us and we took about 200 photos of us just messing around and they came out SO beautiful! That Golden Horn campsite looked stunning and the drone shots, particularly the birds eye view ones of the river were all kinds of gorgeous ❤️

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I LOVE the photo you sent us! It's such a gorgeous drive and we really tried to slow down in this area and explore it over a handful of days and I am so glad we did. I loved that drone shot of the river too! I'll let Adam know you enjoyed it 😍

I drove that from Ouray to Durango and can't wait to do it again. Hey, Telluride and Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park are not to far away. Wow, those sweet apple crisps looked really good!

    i love how you enjoy and describe the food!!! lol. It’s so beautiful with the snow on the mountains. The last time we were in the area, Sept. 2019, we got to drive through a “wall of snow”; they had record breaking snowfall the winter before. The “wall of snow” was a result of a huge avalanche that covered the road outside of Silverton on our way to do the Alpine Loop. Well, i’m caught up on your videos!! Until the next one! (or two).

    Good to know about those campgrounds. We'll be up there in August for our Jeep off-roading and we're still doing our research on where to camp. Those burgers looked delicious. Ain't nothin' much better than a good ole' tasty burger.

      They were both solid! Not the best cell service though, just fyi in case you need to work or need to be connected. The Kendall campground closest to Silverton has been good for cell service though!

    We made the same trip a few weeks ago. We hurried from Durango to Ouray because it was getting late in the day and we didn't want to be on the million dollar highway in the dark. Enjoyed seeing the stops we missed along the way.

Adam, I think you have a bit of competition with Honeyville Teddy…watch it! 🤣 I wanted to reach into the TV and grab that honey…looked soooo tasty and so did your hobo pies! 😋🤤 Kona looked quite happy chewing on her sticks…Maui would have been begging for all the food being cooked and eaten! Those were drone shots this time, right???!!! They were awesome! Kona will try to catch anything…balls, snow and water…she is talented! Great job you two!

    Saving these areas to visit! I had an Intex kayak for a while. For anyone interested, there is good and bad to them. But the portability is nice! They don’t pop easy, although I’d stay away from oyster beds lol. They are really thick and fairly heavy. They aren’t as quick as a regular kayak so I had a hard time keeping up with friends. Easy to inflate and set up, a pain to take down.
