Wonderful video, thank you. :)

[SlyFox70100]

I love my home, Colorado, Im never leaving your borders. Born and raised here, Aspen to be exact

[fastpony71]

Hi Jeepster Gal!!! Well, its nearly that time of year again. On the 22nd of next month we will be loading our 4x4 with camera and camping gear with our sights set on the Elk Mtns and the San Juans. It will be interesting to see what time frame the aspens will be on this year since it was such a cool and wet Spring. Looking forward to a very colorful Autumn in Colorado! Keep those vidoes coming!!

[JeepsterGal]

@fastpony71 Thanks for watching! Haven't done much four wheelin' this summer but I do have videos from last summer that need editing! Thanks for watching and enjoy your trip!

[TheThirdPope]

Great video! This is my favorite part of Colorado. What is the name of this song?

[JeepsterGal]

@TheThirdPope Music:

"I'm Going Home to Colorado" by Homeward Bound (circa 1980) Song written by Rod Pringle. These are friends of mine :) Awesome song, huh? You can hear them perform in San Antonio, Texas if you're ever there. This was recorded 31 years ago.

[TheThirdPope]

@JeepsterGal It has that John Denver sound and theme that I like. It may sound cliche, but the music of John Denver (And music like it) is perfect for Colorado. Every once in awhile I consider moving back to Colorado, but right now it just isn't feasible.

[JeepsterGal]

@TheThirdPope Yep, I think he wrote it in the late 70s, and there wasn't a singer/songwriter/guitarist alive at that time who wasn't influenced by John. They covered a lot of his tunes back then as well. I have a killer version of Denver's song "Prisoners" by these guys, as well as Poems, Prayers and Promises, Rocky Mountain High, Welcome to the Morning, Cold Nights in Canada, etc...amazing stuff...John Denver was amazing. Hope you make it back here one day! I moved here 11 years ago and love it

[thiando]

I wish this video never end................ this is amazing. thank you.

[jhhwingnut]

Great vid Jeepster...I've seen almost all your 4X4 videos...I live in Kansas City but have loved & visited Colo. all my life.....I bought an '03 TJ couple years ago, been wheeling a bit in Colo. & Moab a couple times.....love your vids....I've been over a couple passes you have, Tincup, Hancock, Mesquito, Tomichi and a few others, can't wait to do the SanJuans & the million dollar highway...!!!

[jhhwingnut]

@jhhwingnut I've never had a better steak than one I cooked at Mirror Lake, just above Tin Cup.....mmmm !!!

[fastpony71]

Just got back from visiting many areas of Colorado. It has become an obsession in September when the leaves change. We spent time around Woods Lake near Telluride, among the peaks of the Sneffels Range and around Marroon Bells and the Capitol Peak region. Everytime I see this video (one of my favorites of course) it makes me want to pack the truck and head there. Love that state!

[JeepsterGal]

@fastpony71 Yeah, I head to the mountains every weekend in September and take photos of the aspens even though I have a million of the same photos. LOL. Love Woods Lake near Telluride! also love Maroon Bells, but I go to the San Juans every year and don't make it to Aspen very often.

[Copperpenny1962]

Listening once again to your video......WOW! Have been wanting to move there for the last seven years, we still haven't made it but have vacationed several times. However.........I put it on full screen and your video brings it right to me. Can't tell you how much I loved it and the song! Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us, along with the others you have posted.

[JeepsterGal]

@Copperpenny1962 I dreamed of moving here for about 30 years and finally made the move 10 years ago and it was the best thing I've ever done for myself. It's amazing! Hope you make it out here to live, you'll love it!

[mycatwilatackyou]

I like it :) going to Durango next week :)

[pengyou1909]

아주 멋지네요*^^*

[frossfross]

The nature into your country is very wide and the country side desert. Ilike this.

[vascolady]

great video"""I love colorado, we go everyother fall...look out 2010

[beatle0922]

Great way to start off the decade,colorado is so much fun,I love landing in the airport and seeing the rooftop of colorado intl.

[Shalom65]

Really beautifull... I would like to know it... Would those Jeeps let something for me to visit? They doesn't fit with the place.... Congrats.

[RichJohnsonVideos]

Beautiful, the only thing missing is the distant echo of a steam locomotive's whistle.

[CrazyTaileZ]

Beautiful! 5/5 stars! I love camping and backpacking in Colorado. I just got back from the South San Juan Wilderness at the end of August and I was blown away with beauty up there!!

[atsfandspfan491]

I just got back from the Durango area and even though it was my 5th time in ten years to be there I was still hypnotized by the beauty of the place. I still need to see those aspens though. They are astonishing! Thanks for posting!

[JeepsterGal]

Yeah, Durango is really something. A few more weeks and those gorgeous aspens will start to turn! Can't wait!

[stybarrow]

God is great.

[DianaArmstrongGonzal]

I just love this video sooooooo much; thank you....Our Creator is so awesome:)

[mathteach34]

2:18 is BEAUTIFUL

[hdiylove7]

Love the vid! Just have to be in Colorado in the Fall to get a real good idea though!!!

[r4h9s]

Great video! Loved the waving of the Aspens in the breeze. Ready for another return trip to Colorado this summer and maybe this fall.

[FallonBill]

I lived in Colorado from '50-'51 then from '53-57 and loved it. While I lived in Denver, I drove around a lot and one of my favorite places was in the La Plata area.  Even slept in an old log cabin and met a typical old prospector (his name was Cederwall as I recall). Wonderful times. Your video really brought back memories. Thanks.

[Jonny0Colorado]

This is great you gotta love the state of COLORADO!!!

[copkiller101]

lol

[copkiller101]

soothing song and video, i listen to this over and over some times. It helps with the voices.

[copkiller101]

who sings this song? this is my fav video

[JeepsterGal]

This was sung back in 1980 by a couple of friends of mine and written by the owner of Waunita Hot Springs Ranch in Gunnison, Colorado, back in the 1970s. Glad you enjoy the video and the song. They have amazing voices and the lyrics are so nice...

[fastpony71]

Do you happen to know where their music may be purchased? I would like to have a copy of this song. Very inspiring! We have plans for Colorado this fall, looking forward to spending a lot of time in the San Juans. Beautiful Colorado!

[JeepsterGal]

No, it was recorded almost 30 years ago during a concert, the tune unfortunately is not for sale....

[DianaArmstrongGonzal]

Have you ever drove up skyline drive in Canyon City?[Royal Gorge is like a small Grand Canyon; also in Canyon City]many westerns were filmed their.. It's awesome[and a bit scary]...another awesome place is Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs [I lived their in the early 80's]

[JeepsterGal]

Hello! Yes, I have driven that and plan to film it this summer to make a video of it. I live very close to Garden of the Gods, it's amazing, isn't it?

[DianaArmstrongGonzal]

Durango is an awesome town and we did see that steam engine train....Colorado is HEAVEN on EARTH...Praise God my Dad is now in heaven looking down on colorado[but I believe it may be just a little bit *colder* place now without Dad]he had his ashes spread over the rocky mountains..I miss him so much:(

[DianaArmstrongGonzal]

also I love the music in your video...my Dad would have LOVED this video; and I know he would have loved my friend, Morgan's page...Dad loved Colorado, and John Wayne was his hero. He was also very proud to have served in the U.S. Airforce and was in the Korean war. I have such wonderful memories of camping and fishing[rainbow trout] in the mountains with him. He loved San Isabel St.park and so many other beautiful places in colorado. Cripple Creek was a cool old mining town[now it's casino's]

[DianaArmstrongGonzal]

God Bless you.Thank you to my dear friend, Morgan for having this video on her page.I LOVE THIS MORE THEN YOU'LL EVER KNOW. My Dad passed away on 12/15/2008 and he lived in Colorado[Pueblo west] and he LOVED the mountains so much. We could sit on his deck in the backyard and see Pikes Peak perfectly.Truly God's Country and as for the Jeep's[the rest of us who didn't have the privilage of living in Colorado,live in Toledo Ohio and we built all those Jeeps you drove around in.I worked there 28yrs.

[copkiller101]

what trail is this.

[JeepsterGal]

Not one trail in particular, but shots are from Capitol City, a small ghost town along the end of Engineer Pass near Lake City, Colorado. Other shots are from the old town of Ironton, which is an area along the Million $ Hwy between Silverton and Ouray.

[copkiller101]

very nice i live in colorado and i love it.

[Terri3210]

Beautiful!!!

[MorganJServices]

If you find the opportunity, would you post a video on the 1800's steam engine train that runs out of Durango? Does it only run certain months? Thanks.

[JeepsterGal]

I do have a very short video of the train arriving in Silverton.

[MorganJServices]

What model Jeep are you using for you offroading? I have a Commander.

[JeepsterGal]

I'm in a 1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport.

[MorganJServices]

Could a Commander handle this kind of off roading? Or is it too big.

[fox1612]

I'm not certain of a Commander. Many of the roads shown by Jeepster, could probably be handled with a decent 4 drive with decent ground clearance and a low range case. If no low range, don't. If it has low range, park next to a stock Cherokee [i jeep with one as well] in a parking lot and check your clearance. If you have a few inches less, don't. If you are about the same, then you should do fine in most of these. Good luck, be careful, take your time and tread lightly!

[MorganJServices]

fox1612:

Thanks. A Jeep Commander sits on a frame with a higher clearance than a Jeep Cherokee. The Commander weighs more than most Jeep models & that is the fact that concerned me. Commanders have a excellent wheel base, 4 wheel drive, 4 wheel disc brakes and a feature for anti skidding in rain & snow. The Commander would not roll well like a Wrangler or Sahara. It's all just a thought anyway. To really see Colorado, I would go trail riding with a horse & pack mule before anything else.

[vernondozier]

Spent some years there near Front Range, in Mts.

Gets in your soul.....

[iCE2sKY]

Really nice video! Colorado autumn is beautiful! It reminds me the autumn in Austria.

[powermankid]

i loved it

[harlydynamike49]

You need to start guiding gal, you are a pro, I shall return. Thanks for keeping my heart in Colorado.

[JeepsterGal]

If I could make a living showing people this state I would do it in a heartbeat :) Thanks for watching!

[roynash]

Wow! Nice job here, girl. Camera work and music befitting our beautiful CO; I miss it so much. We'll be heading to the San Juans in July in a new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. So here I am drooling. Thanks. I'm going to view them all over the next few days.

[JeepsterGal]

Thanks a lot! I love to film down there (or anywhere in Colorado).

[rockymtnhigh34]

I'm catching up to all of your videos, Shedding a tear for our dreamland in a couple of your videos. It hurts not being there everyday. Keep up the wonderful views. Thank you, great music.

[JeepsterGal]

Thanks, so glad you're enjoying the videos. I'd give anything to live there everyday instead of only seeing it twice a year!

[ChooChooMike]

Beautiful area ! I was in Ouray/Silveron/Durango area the same time you shot this video ! I managed to get to Animas Forks and a little bit past there. I stayed overnite in Ouray, drove the $1M Highway in the early morning sunlight. The Apsen trees were all wearing their yellow/gold frocks :)

Unfortunately I couldn't explore the backroads that were SOOOO beckoning due to lack of time.

That area is on the top of my list for my next vacation trip !

Your other videos are great too !

[JeepsterGal]

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the Ouray area -- you definitely have to get offroad to really see that country down there.

[babylonstellar1]

I love seeing this footage,,,,, I miss the San Juans so much it hurts sometimes.... thanks for the memories.....

((Rico/Telluride))

[rob07960]

It is done with great love. The music goes really well with it. It makes us want to move to

Colorado. Thank you for sharing.

[LCDLGAZ]

The quads are also a load of fun up there! We have some of the same GREAT pics of the area!

[travelamerica]

Great video. We just came from Colorado for our destination site. Went up to Victor and Cripple Creek along the Phantom Valley Road.

Carl - Southpoint

[Triple7UK]

Love the tune, love the views even more......

[untamedesign]

lovely...

[lbisson]

Beautiful video.  You really have a way with the camera. I love the music too!

[ladywarrior0505]

thanks for this video, I went on 30 Sep, but most of the gold was fading. You show more of the gold. Yes, you are looking at the 3 bells that are on the left side of that whole peak, the 3rd is not real clear. It is my favorite place in Colorado

[JeepsterGal]

Hey thanks for commenting! Glad you enjoyed the video. What bells are you talking about? Are you talking about Maroon Bells perhaps? This was all shot in the San Juans. Glad you liked it!

[Dave4wdpt]

Jeepster Gal...you're awesome. Great music and photography! Thanks for taking our picture at that corner. This helps my family understand why I love jeeping and Colorado so much! I've got to show every one your works. Thanks, Dave (the Californian). I

[JeepsterGal]

Hey again! Glad you enjoyed it. I will look through my video and see if there are any more clips of you guys. If so, I'll let you know.

[WillmaJean]

COOL :D

[phillipah7]
