That is an amazing place, my son moved there when he had stage 4 colon cancer, I was fortunate to spend lots of time there with him . He spent a summer in Silverton as well. I unfortunately lost him Jan 2022 at 39 he loved life there until he passed!
So sorry to hear that he passed, but we're so happy you got to spend so much time with him. He definitely chose a perfect place to live with the time he had left ❤️
It's why I love Grand Junction. 100 miles from Ouray, 100 miles to Moab/Lake Powell, 100 miles to rugged mtn wilderness, legal weed, mild winters, the Colorado River, etc.
Don't want to steal your thunder but i hope somebody has recommended riding the Narrow Gauge Railroad up to Silverton from Durango. i grew up in Farmington NM and spent a lot of time visiting S Colorado. Never realized how spoiled i was until I moved away. Ouray, Silverton and Telluride are heaven on earth... I miss them. I will enjoy your videos exploring that area. Thank you for letting me live vicariously through you.
Great video, guys! One thing to keep in mind, it doesn’t matter what you do in these videos as long as you’re enjoying it. People came to you on TH-cam for one reason or another, but they stick with you because they like you. Keep enjoying life!
I’m so glad you guys stumbled on Ouray. I accidentally found that place while looking at maps for our western trip last year. I will say it’s one of the most amazing small towns in America! I compared it to Banff, AB, CA. The 2 are super similar!!
Good to know! So far we've added it to every burrito we've come in contact with. 🤤 We're so bummed this hasn't caught on in the midwest - we're gonna miss it when we leave!
Hi Eric and Allison That was an amazing video and the Food their looked so good When you get time You'll find more things on your way to Montana the higher you go here in Montana the better it gets up by Glacier National park Can't wait to see you here
My family settled the state of CO in the 1870s in silverton which is on the opposite side of the million dollar highway. thanks for showcasing such a beautiful part of my home and history!!!
I love Ouray so much. The whole San Juan range of Colorado is amazing. If you have time, you should check out Mesa Verde National Park just 40 minutes west of Durango.
@10:20, you passed by the Ouray Brewery. We love to go to that rooftop bar in the summertime and watch all the jeeps going down mainstreet. Great food too. After that, a nice soak in the clothing optional hotsprings down by Ridgeway makes for a great day.
I used to live in Gunnison, 100 miles northeast of Ouray. Spent a ton of time ice climbing there. Once you master the beginners' wall, further along the canyon it narrow and deepens and you can find climbs that can reach to 200'. They have the premier ice climbing festival in the country there every year. Afetrwards, a soak in the hot spring pool and then an evening in a brew pub is a must do.
Eric & Allison. You mentioned you're heading for Durango. Bet you're going on that railroad which is pretty special. Does look like you passed over the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park which is too bad. Also I've been to Telluride in the Summer for their music festival. That town is worth a visit too.
Ouray is such a beautiful town. My grandfather used to have a house up in Ouray and it's beautiful in both winter and summer. There is also a little chocolate shop called Mouses Chocolates. They make their chocolate in house. And they also have the best scrap cookies.
The two of you are so much fun. Allison is a hoot. Her reactions to following the trail and her comments when she falls really crack me up. I love it when she "flubs" her lines when improvising her "transition" comments in all the videos. Her crampons "adventure" is an instant classic in the Allison library of videos. I look forward to your videos every week, which are both visually beautiful and entertaining! And don't get me started on the food you feature. I'm drooling all over my computer keyboard. (P.S. Great choice of music to accompany the video. Do you use a particular music package?)
I knew you would love SW Colorado. Hope you ended up doing the entire San Juan loop, continuing from Durango to Cortez and then up through Telluride. You'll never want to leave!
My gosh, how do I always manage to watch your videos when I am hungry??!! You've got me craving food from this little place off the beaten path way out west! lol. AND, coffee from a picturesque "snow globe" town must taste delicious! Mmmmmm ! Great video! The Adventure continues!
From Ouray, go first to Silverton and then to Durango. It is a little expensive, but you can take a restored steam train round trip from Durango to Silverton and back.
Wow are used to live in Colorado and never seen what you guys are seeing I am so jealous maybe one of these days just maybe I like your channel and because of what you guys do and where are you go you’re showing me parts of the United States and of the world that I’ve never seen or will probably never go to in person so I thank you so much for what you’re doing maybe you want to these days I will find somebody to travel with and hopefully soon keep up the good work my friends you’re awesome people
Friends of mine built a home in the mountains outside Ouray and we helped them a few times…long time ago. The town has changed, but not too much. Thanks for sharing and jogging my memory!
Breakfast almost Lunch is called Brunch! Great video! Good balance of adventure, views and food! I see how you both stay fit and trim with all the hiking and now you can add ice wall climbing to your list of skills! Kudos to you both for conquering that.
We love Ouray! I am glad that you took the time to visit this beautiful place. The hot springs are nice but the road….. I am a flatlander and I have to admit that road scared me!!! It was totally worth it! Some people drive it every day. Unbelievable to me! Now I have to go back to visit this beautiful place. ❤ I almost forgot. You need to take the Durango-Silverton railroad! Silverton is so quaint too.
the nice thing about Colorado is you get lots of blue skies & when it snows and the sun comes out even nicer. I've never been to Quary, so thanks. I'll have to make it up there someday. Pagosa Springs is not too far from Durango. a good place to get warm.
Also, check out Buena Vista (careful with that pronunciation!) and Salida (also careful with that pronunciation! They aren't what you think!) they are both cute mountain towns worth checking out.
Always a fun watch with you two! Note from a Norwegian though, you two are always cold and I am on the other side of the screen screaming for you two to at least close your jackets, or put on hats or a scarf to hinder the warmth from escaping. Like the ice climbing for example: with both a duvet coat and a wind coat open, of course you are cold 😀 Lots of love from the forever winter country
Same here, I completely don't get it😅. They say how numb their limbs are, and yet, they don't close their jackets! Like, what? Who dresses like that for winter? 😳 And without scarves, hats or gloves too. Do they think it looks better on camera this way? Wrong, it looks plain weird for anyone who's ever experienced snow in their lives😅. I live in Poland, and I'd literally die without my scarf. A bare neck makes one feel the cold immediately🥶
I’ve never heard of crampons in my life until Kara and Nate’s most recent video, and now I see it on the sign in your video just a day later! Crazy how that happens sometimes!
Hi guys. Glad you’re having a good time. Ouray is a super popular place. All of those small towns are super popular, like Telluride, Gunnison, Grand Lake, Leadville, Steamboat, etc. All of them have a lot of history and are great fun. BTW, I would suggest that you DONT hike on trails in the freezing snow. Just saying. Have fun!👍
Try Cripple Creek Colorado, it's stunning and a fun gambling town. Old silver mining town. Are you guys still looking for property still or just checking out towns?
Love the Ouray area; so beautiful no matter what the season. Yes, the road to Durango can be very dangerous especially when a TNM&O (then Greyhound owned) bus tries to pass you in a no passing so with no guard rails leading to certain death if you leave the road.
I ALMOST moved here 13 years ago but decided there wouldn't be enough sunlight between those mountains each day, so moved to Canon City instead, next to the Royal Gorge. Ouray IS a lovely little hamlet tucked away in there, tho.
Great video. Ouray is a beautiful town, and fun to visit. As a native Coloradoan, I've been there several times. But what I'm most impressed with, is that you pronounced Ouray correctly! 👏👏👏. Yay for you!!
Colorado looks stunning. Definitely looks worth a visit in Winter. The ice wall looks fun. Thanks for sharing. I think if I travelled in the USA I would carry around a roll of aluminium foil and a container to take 70% of my meal away with me..the meal portions are so huge!
I love your video's. Am catching up on your old ones, all great! I'm just watching this one. You need to call to make a reservation .. they don't answer. You have to leave a message & eventually they call you back to confirm, hopefully?? For people planning a meal that's err ... "less" than poor service. Glad you got your meal 🙂
My most precious memory is My Mom taking my twin, brother and our dear Grandma in 1964 to Ouray and having eclairs on the corner ( I believe it was in the Elks building) and seeing the Million Dollar Highway. We got to see her hometown Delta and Delta County and surrounding towns, in our travels. Have fun, the Western Slope is beautiful and has so much history.❤️❤️ Been following you two for a long time!
Yeah! So glad u r heading to Durango, my old college town. Woot woot u r in the hidden gem of Colorado. Look for the KG ranch - Kurt and Goldie Hawns ranch. KG is the metal initials on thier gate.
Lynn here from England and just now I'm using Hubby's phone mines playing up 😏, just to say how FANTASTIC it looks out there , such a shame we can't visit , it looks like a Brilliant place to visit around Christmas time, Oh I wish I was young right now , I'd be over next Christmas for sure 😃, blooming lovely , it looked like you were in your own movie , Take Care, sending hugs from England 🤗 xx
We so look forward to you guys on a Monday! This one was great, as always. Colorado, wow, so pretty. Thanks for sharing from the south of England, UK 🥰
That is an amazing place, my son moved there when he had stage 4 colon cancer, I was fortunate to spend lots of time there with him . He spent a summer in Silverton as well. I unfortunately lost him Jan 2022 at 39 he loved life there until he passed!
I am so sorry for your loss.
So sorry to hear that he passed, but we're so happy you got to spend so much time with him. He definitely chose a perfect place to live with the time he had left ❤️
I live near Farmington, New Mexico on the Navajo Reservation. We visit Ouray quite often...such a magical place in the winter or summer.
It's why I love Grand Junction. 100 miles from Ouray, 100 miles to Moab/Lake Powell, 100 miles to rugged mtn wilderness, legal weed, mild winters, the Colorado River, etc.
Grand Junction is a beautiful town. One of my favourite places on our trip to the US. Mind you it was summer.
That town was gorgeous The mountains in the background and the cute main drag. Great job Ice Climbing... next stop Everest 🤷♂️🤣
Ouray Colorado is very beautiful 😍 🤩. Very entertaining video 📹. See 👀 you on the next one 😀.
Pretty much what I got in Dillon, Colorado, visiting from the UK. Colorado is stunning.
Don't want to steal your thunder but i hope somebody has recommended riding the Narrow Gauge Railroad up to Silverton from Durango. i grew up in Farmington NM and spent a lot of time visiting S Colorado.

This places so beautiful especially in the snow
As someone from Australia who hardly ever gets to see snow, everything is just so magical. Just walking around the town is pretty!
I’m so glad you guys stumbled on Ouray. I accidentally found that place while looking at maps for our western trip last year. I will say it’s one of the most amazing small towns in America! I compared it to Banff, AB, CA. The 2 are super similar!!
I just made the comment that it's like Banff!
As a Coloradoan, I'm glad you tried the Green chili (sauce). You will find it changes in every community. Personally I prefer it in Pueblo 😋
Good to know! So far we've added it to every burrito we've come in contact with. 🤤 We're so bummed this hasn't caught on in the midwest - we're gonna miss it when we leave!
Hi Eric and Allison That was an amazing video and the Food their looked so good When you get time You'll find more things on your way to Montana the higher you go here in Montana the better it gets up by Glacier National park Can't wait to see you here
Wow! You're in my backyard! How fun! Glad you love Ouray! Come back in summer for tremendous hiking and to do the Via Ferrata.
Colorado is the best
We have a little Bavarian town in our state of Washington. The town is called Leavenworth in the Cascade Mountains! Beautiful
I love Leavenworth! So fun at Christmas time. Summer is great too!
Ouray looks like a town you would like to live in. Stay safe. Walk in Peace.
My family settled the state of CO in the 1870s in silverton which is on the opposite side of the million dollar highway. thanks for showcasing such a beautiful part of my home and history!!!
I love right here in Fort Collins Colorado. The Rocky Mountains are just as equally beautiful
I love Ouray so much. The whole San Juan range of Colorado is amazing. If you have time, you should check out Mesa Verde National Park just 40 minutes west of Durango.

I worked there for awhile. It was so poorly run it breaks my heart. So much potential
Thank you for sharing this with me. What a beautiful piece.

We just spent last Fall 2022 for a week in Ouray - been there 4 times - it is beautiful.
I knew you would love SW Colorado. Hope you ended up doing the entire San Juan loop, continuing from Durango to Cortez and then up through Telluride. You'll never want to leave!
My gosh, how do I always manage to watch your videos when I am hungry??!! You've got me craving food from this little place off the beaten path way out west! lol. AND, coffee from a picturesque "snow globe" town must taste delicious! Mmmmmm ! Great video! The Adventure continues!
Sorry! If we could, we definitely would have shared our pancakes and burrito with you! 😁
My mom lives there in town. It’s an awesome place. The Jeep trails are a blast in the warm months.
Dinner at Brickhouse is absolutely worth it! the elk was perfect!
I love Ouray, the restaurant's and the Hot Springs.
Adore Ouray, we had the best time there!
We LOVE Ouray!!
Ouray is one of my very favorite places in the world 🌎 😍 Telluride is also amazing
Ouray is awesome (pronounced you-Ray) as a Denver resident it’s very remote but awesome.
I've lived in colorado my entire life and Ouray is my favorite town in the entire state.
Been there. It was summer. I fell in love with the place!!
From Ouray, go first to Silverton and then to Durango. It is a little expensive, but you can take a restored steam train round trip from Durango to Silverton and back.
Wow are used to live in Colorado and never seen what you guys are seeing I am so jealous maybe one of these days just maybe I like your channel and because of what you guys do and where are you go you’re showing me parts of the United States and of the world that I’ve never seen or will probably never go to in person so I thank you so much for what you’re doing maybe you want to these days I will find somebody to travel with and hopefully soon keep up the good work my friends you’re awesome people
Your day to night transition was slick.
The ice wall looks amazing 👍
Friends of mine built a home in the mountains outside Ouray and we helped them a few times…long time ago. The town has changed, but not too much. Thanks for sharing and jogging my memory!
A home in those mountains sound pretty magical! We definitely felt like the town was stuck in time. Glad to know it hasn't changed too much 😁
Thanks for bringing us along!
Best TH-cam couple out there provided us with another great video today to enjoy thank you
Breakfast almost Lunch is called Brunch! Great video! Good balance of adventure, views and food! I see how you both stay fit and trim with all the hiking and now you can add ice wall climbing to your list of skills! Kudos to you both for conquering that.

Beautiful little town, thanks for taking us along 😊 luv from 🇨🇦
Beautiful place to visit. And yummy food 😋 😍
Go to Grand junction is very beautiful and I'll also has a canyon and a picnic table
Y'all bring it strong! This town was amazing. Congrats on climbing the ice wall.
Glad you made it to SW Colo! Come by Telluride and I'll take you on a lovely hike and you can ride our free Gondola!
Colorado's cold yet delicious. Proud of you making it to the top of the ice mountain.
I use to dream of moving there! I have found memories of sitting in a hot tub there looking at the waterfalls. LOVE IT!
Also, check out Buena Vista (careful with that pronunciation!) and Salida (also careful with that pronunciation! They aren't what you think!) they are both cute mountain towns worth checking out.
How beautiful! You're exploring parts of Colorado I've never seen. I hope you find your Colorado home ( vacation home?) in the perfect spot.
Thanks so much! We're loving exploring these new spots too! Western CO has totally blown us away. 😍 Glad we can take you along for the ride 🙌
Beautiful! Y’all are are so badass with your crampons haha. I want to do that someday!
Always a fun watch with you two!

Oh random! It's probably a sign that you need to get our there and do some ice climbing 🥶
First time I drove over Red Mtn Pass was at night in a cabover Isuzu pulling a 40' trailer.
amazing little town loved the ice wall climb who that food looked. good
Hi guys. Glad you’re having a good time. Ouray is a super popular place.

Thanks for showing the area and beautiful views. You have excellent guides!
Love Ouray. Cheers from Carbondale.
I love these kind of videos from you guys! Colorado looks so beautiful. I’m hoping you guys stay there and get a house, best of luck on this adventure
12:02 this is gonna be so random, but I have those exact ceramic plates back home... In Venezuela. What are the odds
Ouray looked like such a charming little town! Very cool that the climbing activity was just right off the road. Excited for your Durango trip next!
Have you guys been to Estes Park CO? Thats another amazing town, right next to rocky mountain national park and the Stanley hotel.
Try Cripple Creek Colorado, it's stunning and a fun gambling town. Old silver mining town. Are you guys still looking for property still or just checking out towns?
Love the Ouray area; so beautiful no matter what the season. Yes, the road to Durango can be very dangerous especially when a TNM&O (then Greyhound owned) bus tries to pass you in a no passing so with no guard rails leading to certain death if you leave the road.
😳 very, very glad we didn't encounter any buses on our drive! Yikes!
What a awesome place. Thanks so much for sharing your video
Well ,one more place to add to my bucket list🤠

Yay for you!!
It reminds me a bit of Banff or similar in Canada. Lovely
you should also vist buena vista, durango ,leadville, and pagosa springs.
Colorado looks stunning. Definitely looks worth a visit in Winter. The ice wall looks fun. Thanks for sharing.
I think if I travelled in the USA I would carry around a roll of aluminium foil and a container to take 70% of my meal away with me..the meal portions are so huge!
Hahaha, that is a fantastic idea! Portions are definitely pretty generous here 😅
I'll be adding this to the list of places to travel!
I love your video's. Am catching up on your old ones, all great! I'm just watching this one. You need to call to make a reservation .. they don't answer.

Oh awesome! We'd love to go back and see it in the 60s! Glad you have such great memories of the area - it's hard not too with all the amazing views 😍
Ouray is one of my favorites in Colorado. Take the Durango Silverton Train!
Stay Safe Guys Mucho Love From Your Friend In Michigan Tam 💜💜💜
We going there in May after we do the train ride to the Grand Canyon. I can’t wait, there’s no better way to celebrate our 41 anniversary.
That'll be amazing! Early congratulations and have a wonderful trip!
Awesome cool beautiful video 👍❤❤❤🤘
Great chemistry between you guys)
You made ice climbing look like so much fun. It’s been on our bucket list.
We hope you get to try it one day! It was definitely awkward at first but ended up being so dang fun!
Yeah! So glad u r heading to Durango, my old college town. Woot woot u r in the hidden gem of Colorado. Look for the KG ranch - Kurt and Goldie Hawns ranch. KG is the metal initials on thier gate.
On one of our trips to the US we passed through Ouray - a really beautiful town.
Been going to Ouray since 1995 its my favorite place in Colorado
Lynn here from England and just now I'm using Hubby's phone mines playing up 😏, just to say how FANTASTIC it looks out there , such a shame we can't visit , it looks like a Brilliant place to visit around Christmas time, Oh I wish I was young right now , I'd be over next Christmas for sure 😃, blooming lovely , it looked like you were in your own movie , Take Care, sending hugs from England 🤗 xx
It's one of our favorite places, anywhere. But - when you say the name think "Hooray!" e.g. you-RAY!
Crested Butte is the best!
You should check out Cripple Creek. It’s a old mining town. Great steak at the Crystal Palace Hotel.
Allison you did awesome on the ice wall! 🎉 Yes, it’s beautiful but I can’t do that cold. Enjoy!
We so look forward to you guys on a Monday! This one was great, as always.
Colorado, wow, so pretty. Thanks for sharing from the south of England, UK 🥰
Love it! Thanks for traveling along with us 🙌
@@Theendlessadventure you are our number one go to channel, we love your films 🎥
Looks beautiful.
Yay! We LOVE Ouray!
My Niece lives in Teluride , Colorado is awesome .
I love Creede! Hopefully you make it there too!
