- Join me as I explore Rocky Mountain National Park for my first time. I camp overnight inside the park and spend 2 days exploring and hiking to 5 lakes total! I also see some wildlife along the way. This is my final adventure in Colorado this season before moving north. Rocky Mountain National Park is even more beautiful than I imagined.

Ya know, Catherine, you're starting to turn these videos into little cinematic works of art. I was watching and thinking how beautifully done the transitions are, how the audio is perfectly balanced between actual sounds of you hiking or speaking and the background music. The photography is outstanding, the scenes are well composed; even the way the river and creeks were your companions, and you photographed them under different light and from different angles, and wove them though the story. Really, really impressive work.
Ditto, great job Cat!
I agree! They are very well done:)
anybody that doesn't agree with that opinion is completely insane and belongs in the big cities.
I have come to the same conclusion, your getting really professional about your hiking logs. Great job Catherine, some of the "spectacular" is you, not just the scenery! Stay safe...
Thank you so much!
There is so much ugliness in the world, it's wonderful to be reminded of all the beauty around us. Thanks for showing it to us.
I could not agree more. What serenity, such peace, magnificence and exquisite beauty.
How lucky to be there and thankful that she shared it with her viewers.
The photography, videography, and the music was superlative.
What a restful and wondrous video.
Agree 💯
Be safe.
Very well said......I loved this amazing place..full of natural wonders....it takes you to a different world altogether...!Regards!
There's beauty everywhere. Look up at the sky. Stop to feel the wind, look at ice crystals on a window. Put out a heated birdbath & see even migrating birds up close. Adopt a cute little pet to keep you company. Beauty & love & appreciation is everywhere if you notice, create & make time to enjoy.
You are my favorite female backpacker who is motivating me to finish school, be able to travel, and spend time with nature. Thank you for all the videos. They are my happy break during my study :)
Beautiful job, Catherine. This video was very serene, peaceful and calming, especially with all that is happening in the world. Thank you.
music during the first 23 seconds can easily be the best soundtrack you ever used, it fits well with sunsets, mountains etc. awesome. very soft, so to say.
Thank you for taking us along with you. 🐦
WOW AGAIN...No wonder John Denver wrote "Rocky Mountain High". Soooooooooooo....BEAUTIFUL! I nominate you to be the poster child for our National Parks. You channel has inspired me to get out there and so I went through your qualifying purchases and many things got on my Amazon list. I wish you would have had a men's backpack as well in your affiliate program and other man stuff like socks and hiking shoes, boots, etc because I got a dozen or so items on my list to acquire for my upcoming adventures some from your list and some inspired by it. I already had a Kelty backpack and Kelty tent along with another base camp tent and much hiking gear but it is time for some new stuff. I am getting ready for some new adventures and it is all your fault...LOL! You have re-ignited that fire in me with all your inspiring videos. Thank you so much again and again Catherine for reminding us all of how majestic our world is that God created for us to enjoy. I am excited!
For the millionth time, as you have probably heard, your video is surreal. Great job.
Getting pretty close to heaven thanks for letting me come along
Fabulous film and place 👀👌👍👏
Thank you 🙏
Well done Catherine. You are in my neck of the woods now. Was a volunteer in the park for years. Just a magnificent setting is it not? Great seeing some of those trail shots again. So good to see people get beyond the parking lots. Thank you for your post. Take care.
Thank you so much for posting this video Catherine. I recently moved from Washington State to Indiana and my heart is aching to be in the mountains. The saying goes " you are not in the mountains, the mountains are in you". I am counting down the days (9 months and 2 weeks) before I will be back in them again. Thanks again for your beautiful work.
I'd never heard that saying before. I usually think of Muir's quotation about the mountains...
Thank you for sharing. Watching this is a great way to get a mental health break from the craziness of the world. It makes me feel like I can take a deep breath.
RMNP is such a treasure. Cannot wait to move back home.
My youngest son proposed 14 years ago to his girlfriend, now his wife, at Emerald Lake. He handed his camera to an elderly gentleman, told him what his plan was. The guy captured the moment perfectly. Safe travels to you from Kentucky.
Young lady always a joy watching your videos. God bless. (Old guy from Arkansas)🇺🇸
Last Monday I summitted both Flat Top Mountain and Hallett Peak, the mountains overlooking Emerald Lake. One of the most beautiful places on the entire planet... thanks for taking me back again!
My home state never disappoints in scenery ..great video!! Safe travels.
This is simply beautiful.. It was nice for the chipmunk to join you on the vlog too 🐿️ 😁
Lol @ fearless chipmunk. Thank you for that little window into paradise.
Sat in my camper eating blueberry pancakes watching your beautiful video. Looks like another place I need to check out! Thanks!
😀😀
That is some of the most Beautiful land that I have ever seen!!! I'm so glad that it's right here in the United States!❤
I watch your videos and then immediately place where you hiked on my hiking bucket list. Needless to say, Rocky Mountain NP is now on the TOP of the list! Thank you for sharing such beauty! JUST WOW!
A beautiful park and a beautiful lady. We are so blessed to this video. Ms. Gregory thanks for sharing.
So sweet to have that little critter come right to your foot. Thank you for another peaceful video.
Wow Cat...I believe you captured the reason Rocky Mountain National Park is the 4th or 5th most visited National Park...stunning scenery...thanks again for sharing your talent with us...stay safe....enjoy !!!
Thank you. I didn't realize it was that popular! I see why though.
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures Yea Cat....Rocky Mountain National park hosts one of the most popular 14er hikes/climbs in the state which is Longs peak....and Trail Ridge road draws allot of visitors and also a large herd of Elk has free access to Estes Park and the entire park....Longs peak is a strenuous hike to the Longs peak summit @ 14255' ...the Longs peak Diamond east face (The diamond) is still today a great challenge for serious climbers practicing for vertical challenges....stay safe Cat !!
Another awesome video Catherine.
Once again Catharine, thank you for sharing yourself with us. I had a great uncle that years ago would fly National Geographic photographers into the jungles throughout the world. About every 3 years or so he would visit, we would eat then he would show these 16mm movie copies that he would get from NG. They were beautiful. I say all that to say this. You most definitely give them a run their money. 😎 Thank you for letting this physically challenged old guy get back into nature and see all that I can. Keep up the great work, have fun, stay safe and stay healthy.
Wow! Thank you so much for the kind feedback!
We have traveled some of the same pathways; though decades apart. Watching your videos revitalize an inner peace. Thank you.
I had that same experience, and am very grateful for it!
I did the same hike almost 50 years ago .
Spectacular hike with epic scenery. Colorado is a paradise for people who love the outdoors.
Ahh, it ended too soon. Gotta love those Rockies. Those roads get you up to quite an elevation. When we spent a day in high elevations, we noticed our hands got a bit swollen for a day until we acclimated. Did you feel like it was a bit more of an effort to hike at that elevation? You're probably in such great shape, you didn't notice much. Wonderful video of a breath taking place. Bold chipmunks and large trout. Love, love, love.
Thank you this visual splendor. The Rocky Mountain National Park is my very favorite place to hike in the USA 🇺🇸.
Hi! Catherine from the U/K
My wife i watch all your video's and we have noticed a change for the better with your recent posts. Your developing your own unique style and approach, with less talking! and just letting the scenery and well chosen music do all the talking for you.
This is just our opinion, and we don't mean to offend. But when your in those remote area's you visit, words often fail.
Keep up the good work, and remember! your never alone, you always have your envious Army of followers there with you.
Always remember! life's for the living, so go and enjoy.
Thank you so much for noticing. I am definitely going in the direction that less is more. I appreciate your support all the way across the pond!

Dang it, you’re right. Absolutely perfect weather for a hike! Good for you and Thank you!👍🏼☮️
Excellent work. You really capture the spirit and emotion of the mountains with your filmmaking.
Hi Catherine😊😊! I love Rocky Mountain National Park and have driven Trail Ridge Road several times, however you do it much better and I really love following along with you on such a beautiful hike. I wish I was there with you Catherine😊. I'm looking forward to your next masterpiece.
This brings back so many memories: my last time here was in 1970, with my sister, on a road trip from Dallas. Spent 10 days tent camping behind Longs Peak. We hiked the Bear- Dream- Nymph Lakes trail, and spent time in the little community of Glenhaven (it was washed away in 2011) This was one of my favorite parks, and the highlight was the 4th of July Arabian Horse Show & fireworks over Lake Estes! After that we went to Aspen, Ouray and Black Canyon of the Gunnison! Your videos are outstanding, and I really appreciate seeing places I've been!!!
Thank you! Glad you enjoy them.
Thank you
Great vid again! Thanks for 'taking me allong'. Greets from the Netherlands, T.
Beautiful Colorado! Lovely footage and a beautiful young woman. Wish I was up there with you. So glad you got to enjoy the mountains before the fires started. We are all socked in now with smoke. Sad, but that is nature and it will revive.
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope they get those fires under control ASAP!
Beautiful and peaceful scenery. Great cinematography! Thank you for taking us there! Be safe.
You keep getting better. Really. Watching you progress as a videographer is just as enjoyable as watching the places you visit. You’re a talented person Cat. A modern day Marlin Perkins 😘👍✌️
Awe...thank you so much Johnny!! :)
Great Videos!!!! Keep on living free/Happy !!!!
Thanks for taking us along on your journey Cat, it was very enjoyable! 👍Happy Trails
Such amazing scenery. Thanks, Catherine. 👍
Hey, Catherine!
Congratulations on your videos! I discovered them recently. Like you, I am passionate about hiking and all that outdoor activities mean. I watch your movies every day, which has become a habit. I look forward to giving us many videos as possible.
Thank you. Stay healthy!
Wow.. that is so beautiful, better then a post card. Just majestic.
So beautiful nature!!!
Spectacular story telling with audio, video, still life and music - all in perfect balance! Thank you so much for the beauty you share with us.
i have to keep comments short, so i reply because your comments explain exactly how i feel also
Thank you both!!
You nailed it again with your camera work. It is great to have you out there to show us what we cannot see in person. Thanks and stay safe.
Thank you Ken 🙏!
You are so talented at what you do, we are lucky that you share it with us!
I did that same three lakes hike. Dream lake and Sprague are just gorgeous. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more beautiful place. Thanks for bringing back memories Cat
You mention the crowds at some of your destinations, but you always make it look like you're the only one out there. It's delightful, of course, but it also cracks me up.
Crowds are always at the beginning of a hike, you can always shake them after a mile or two.
Great video, lovely scenery, quite a nice park. Thank You for taking me along 🙏👍
Calming in a chaotic world! 🤙 Thank you!
So many mountains and forests and so little time... Beautiful shots and video...
Your such an awesome person for sharing your time with us. You've inspired me to hopefully one day visit these beautiful places. Without your videos would have never thought or know about them.
Hi Catherine, It’s wonderful to see you walk on the same trails my wife and I have walked on many times! We live just outside of Denver near the foothills and the RMNP is definitely one of our favorites! Welcome to Colorado, thanks for the video and enjoy your stay, Cheers!!
Awesome place and I love the Chipmunk coming up to say Hello.
Loved your video!I am a Colorado native and get to go to RMP every year. So many people up There. Hope you return!
Such a gorgeous park. We were there in the fall and were socked in with snow til we left for Wyoming. We still loved it though. The bull elk were chasing cows which was awesome to listen to the bugling and saw lots of sparing. We hiked to Fern Falls in the snow. We have a video down the list of the hike. Trail ridge rd was closed due to snow. Love the views and trout footage😊👍
Our family lived in Ward , Estes Park area ! The poles on the sides of the roads above timberline are to show the snowplows the edge of the road show not go toooo far !! Beautiful video all the way around !! Thank you
Scene of my first honeymoon and many special moments in my life. Amazing composition; no one does better. The love that those of us relating to the heart within Catherine have for "out there" is totally captured and felt. Keep taking us along.
Great job - love the shots of fish
Those creeks are Beautiful! 💕
As always thanks for taking us along, your the best.
Great video Catherine.
Simply beautiful.
I seen there are a couple of thumbs down again.
Who are these haters ?
why can't they just not watch the video .
I can't believe anybody would put a thumbs down to these videos.
maybe they are just depressed lonely stressed out people I don't know but they must be crazy to put thumbs down. love you Catherine.
have a great day
@Donald Allen no no duh duh duh Donald Allen ..... Catherines videos are just very unique and beautiful videos and pictures of forests and just beautiful places of lakes and streams.
so if you don't like those type of things why would you watch that video or any other videos of that type of content and then give it a thumbs down. it's just not even right ..morally incorrect .so what's your issue? you must be one of the haters.
Go back to watching your Disney channels duck man.
Nobody forced you or any one else to click on that video . ..
i think they call them trolls, i actually call them , well not very smart, just saying, how can you not like god's work at nature, and MS. Gregory's tour? unbelievable, !!!!
@@davidbreen4727 thankyou David
What everyone needs to remember is you Can'T please everyone everyday or time and the Haters (trolls) will never stop Hating, all we can do is Pray for them to find peace and love within them selves for that is the true healing of thy self! With God's blessing he grants you the power to Love yourself, to help others and be kind in all things!
@@morningstar7925 thank you morning star ....
Well said ...
have a blessed evening
Drive along old Fall River road and visit chasm falls, from there you can reach the top visitor center. Way better drive than trail ridge road.
Great filming with that late afternoon feel, and great music too..........
Amazing! Your videography is inspiring. What a beautiful place. Nymph lake with the lilly pads was my favorite.
Beautiful, as always, Catherine! You sure have an eye for making beautiful videos! The music fits so well so it becomes an enhancement rather than an annoyance. Love it!
Thank you so much!
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures You are much welcome!
Catherine, you’ve reached a very good balance in your visual storytelling. The beautiful vistas and mountain peaks, wildlife, flowers, and lakes. The sounds of of the flowing water and the breeze. Sunrises and sunsets. Your truck and camper, the trails, and campsites. All of it put together makes for such beautiful videos. My wife and I really enjoy them.
Thanks for sharing and may God continue to bless you!
Thank you so much!
You are allowing me to live this life vicariously. Thank you !
Great video, Thank you for sharing. A little thing like this helps me keep sane in this crazy world..Chipmunks rule!!!
Beautiful scenery! I hope the fires don't mess up your travels! Stay safe!
So beautiful I just wanted to cry.
🙏❤️
Gorgeous views. Love your camper set up. I just recently moved from living in my SUV to a truck camper and I am loving it.
Really wonderful music you selected for this video it was a nice thing to share with my morning coffee thank you for always making outstanding videos.
Your videos are fabulous. Your photographic skills are outstanding and the way you mix the audio music raises your videos to a whole other level. Looking forward to your next video.
Thank you so much!
Hi Catherine! I really enjoy your adventure videos! they are so well shot and edited. I feel like I'm right there with you! I am professional videographer/editor/producer and think you do an amazing job of bringing the viewer right into your adventures! Right on par with CBS Sunday Morning.. Well Done! I look forward to your next adventure!
BTW.. I love how the new Sony camera 4K image really pops! I just ordered a Sony. A7sIII and a sigma 24-70 lens.. can't wait to get that combo out in the wild!
Thank you so much!
That sunrise was just amazing! Looks like it was a beautiful hike.
It really is!
Wonderful video ..... really ...... enjoyed the trip .... thanks
You may investigate purchasing a tenkara rod ..... I have several that weigh less than 2 ounces ..... my entire kit weighs 4 ounces ..... was a great addition to my pack
Awesome video thank you 🙏
As always beautiful video Catherine. You are living the dream!
Been waiting for this one...thanks so much for taking us along. Incredible park.
Great video captured the absolute beauty of the area.
Hi Catherine, this frozen moment in time gave me some tranquility, at least for a short time, I loved the splendid scenery and the music you choose to go along with it, thank you for sharing your wonderful journey with us, happy travel!
Great hike Catherine ,, Beautiful video... WOW!! Amazing beauty and conditions...So lucky to not have crowds , (yeah ,,Right), ...
Your video's really pull at my core ,, am not getting the trail and mountain time I've been planning...
Virus issues and now major forest fires to hinder the spirit ,, but a new video from Catherine is Major Medicine ,, Thank You !!
....Stay Safe and God Bless....
So glad you enjoy them. Thanks so much 🙏!
Ive lived in central Colorado for 44 years and have never been to Rocky Mountain National Park. 🙄🤦🏼♀️. Thank you for showing me what I've been missing. ☺️
You must go Karen!
Aaaah, I feel like your videos are a First Class ride on magic carpet! Spectacular and Calming!
👌👍😉
Wow what a great life you lead Catherine, the views and hike are just totally breath taking. I just truly love the outdoors and especially the national park setting. Your video editing is fantastic hey.
Thank you 🙏!
This brought back so many wonderful memories! I lived in Estes Park, CO, for years so was blessed to be able to go into RMNP all the time, which I did. I still feel like I hardly put a dent in seeing all there is, and I went often with my kids, relatives and friends. I absolutely love RMNP and miss living up in the mountains so much. Thanks for a trip down memory lane. Your photos are spectacular.
Thank you Marjie! I will definitely have to spend more time there.
What a beautiful land under man made sky's (geoengineering). Haven't been there in 40 years. Thanks for sharing Catherine.
Breath taking scenery👍
I have to see this place in person...
We were just there last week. Took the same hike. Thanks for the breathtaking video. Great memory.
My wife & I spent our honeymoon in Estes park for 4 days 28 yrs ago this coming August 29 . Was an amazing trip. We definitely will have to go back on our 30 th. Another great video
Beautiful and peaceful looking. Great for grounding.
Just wanted to thank you for all your videos, Catherine, as I turn 71, tomorrow. Will be coming your way in the Spring... out west to the 4-corners area to start with. Keep up the good work, girl... take a hike for me.
Great job capturing the beauty of RMNP. I'm in Estes heading to the Park today. Thankful to be in such beautiful mountains.
You were so lucky to secure a campsite.
Hehe! That little chipmunk!!! I wanted to warn you. 🤣🤣
😂😂
Thank you so much ,We were just there and we only made it to Nymph lake . we are from 0 elevation and the altitude was too much so thank you for sharing this . Going back next year and going to stay longer to get use to the elevation and get into better shape . Your entire video was outstanding 👏👍🙏💜🐿
