Amazing I grew up in Denver until I was 14 and I now live in Israel next summer I plan on taking my family for a 2-3 week vacation in the Colorado Rocky Mountains and videos like these help me plan the trip
Then there is the stuff he doesn't tell you. I-70 traffic is bad news on weekends almost year round. Getting through Boulder to get to Estes Park in the summer faces horrible traffic and then Estes on the summer weekends is impossible both from overcrowding and parking. Idaho Springs, Georgetown, and Breck all have crowding and parking issues. Best times to hit any of these places are during the week, or late October when the aspen viewing crowds are gone and before the snow flies. I did all these places decades ago, as a 43 year resident, when they were much less crowded. Nowadays, when I want a mountain trip, I take US 285 southwest from Denver to South Park and Fairplay (yes, the inspiration for the TV show) and maybe then on to Chaffee County (Buena Vista and Salida). Enjoy.
Great suggestions! And indeed the traffic can be pretty hellacious. CO infrastructure does not keep up with the demand on the roads and highways which is compounded by the insane cost of building on such terrain.
My ranking of the 7 you included is First of all: Great List Vail should be on the list since you ranked it Higher then both Glenwood and Breckenridge in your most beautiful Towns video 1 Breckenridge 2 Glenwood Springs 3 Grand Lake 4 Estes Park 5 Georgetown 6 Silverthorne 7 Idaho Springs
Thanks for the tip, our goal was to make sure these mountain towns were within about 2 hours of Denver. We didn't want to get too far away from the city in order to make it a fun day trip still! Thanks for watching 👍

Amazing! It's defo worth the trip! I hope those weeks don't go by too fast and you can get everything done on your wish list!
Another stupendous video from my favorite TH-cam channel
Ha, thanks so much! You should come visit Colorado soon 💚
Great video! I am hoping to visit Colorado next year and will use your channel for planning the trip 😊
Greetings from Germany

These are the best videos. Beautifully narrated and artfully filmed!
You're too kind! But thanks so much. Each video takes about 25-30 hours so it's nice that you can see the effort put in.
