These roads were the original mountain roads in CO when people lived in those areas for mining until they cut through with highways. In the 70's I visited most of the abandoned towns and it was amazing to me how much people left behind. I one small mining town the houses were full of stuff plus clothes in the closets. It really gets cold up there in the winter so without work they left.

Did this road from the Creede side all the way thru around 2002 , something about it makes me think of it once in awhile. It seemed so remote, was by myself. Liked the deep woods, going up a stretch in woods, off to left a small pond with a baby and momma moose standing in it and a beaver swimming in it. I need to go back there.

The scenes in this video showcase the poetry of overlanding - the rhythm of conquering obstacles and the melody of finding solace in nature. The seamless transition from traversing rocky terrains to setting up camp under expansive skies is a reminder that adventure and tranquility are the threads that weave our connection to the wild.

Lake City was NOT ATV friendly about 4 years ago. My wife, son and myself were arrested and anything 'Barney Five' could dream of was thrown at us, simply for riding our ATVs around the loop through town during a hail storm. While being written up there were many ATV's with Texas plates legally allowed to be on the street. Being a Colorado native that was salt in the wounds. Attended phone court and most of everything was thrown out due to rouge a deputy. Later found out the city goes back and fourth on allowing ATV's about every 4 to 6 years making it impossible to know ahead of time.

Curious, you were arrested? Handcuffed? Mirandized? Did you have proper and legal registration and stickers or permit for the ATV? Did you have liability insurance? Did you know that Coloado does not recognize ATVs as street legal, but you said you drove through town? Yet pretty much everything was thrown out at court time, but you seem to still be chapped by it. It used to be that people riding/driving unlicensed vehicles would load up or park outside town limits. Now that respect is typically gone and operators feel they have the right to ride/drive where and as they please. I wonder how you all would enjoy ATVs et al cruising through your neighborhood all day long, all summer long? I bet you'd be on the phone to Barney Fife in a second, and yes it is Fife not Five. So next time start from the knowledge that your ATV is not street legal in Colorado and respect the towns people, it's their home. 😎

@@kurtloptien185 If you bothered to check the town website states ATV's and SXS are allowed in town to complete the Alpine loop which is FS approved for proper OHV registered vehicles. During a golf ball sized hail storm, that's exactly what we had to do to get back to the toy hauler. My dirt-bikes have been licensed and street legal with proper insurance likely for more years than you are old. During a 6 month period the town counsel ran a period to no longer allow ATV's on the streets but failed to advertise the change on their website. Shortly thereafter local business complained about revenue so they reopened up the town once again. I used to 'be that guy' to jump on KZbin and insert opinions of matters I know nothing about.

Great video! I was there last Sept. and the trails were dusty. They were having a bit of a drought. Was also there 2 years before that. I stayed at the East Lake Arbutus campground. There is a part of that campground just for Atv's and you can go straight onto the trail from the park. There are also several hotels in Black River Falls that have direct access to the trails and you can also go straight to the Walmart by trail. In Hatfield there's the Inwood Supper club and also nearby is the Ho- Chunk Indian Casino. This is a great place to vacation and I already have reservations for 6/2022.

I had a friend on a sport bike get in a collision with a sxs head on, he was banged up bad and totaled the bike. He swore off riding from that day and never bought another machine. And, of course when it happened "birthday boy" leading his group of 15 sxs hop out of thier machines and ask us if we want a beer.. I almost lost a friend that day to BRF. We still go back, but only during the week.
