Hey! So great to see you guys back on KZbin! You all look fit and healthy, and great choice on trail video-it’s on my list. Good timing too as my daughter and I are heading to RMNP over Labor Day week for 3 days b4 heading to Denver and a few 13ers and 14ers! Mt. Ida is our crown jewel hike for RMNP this year. Look forward to more of your videos, take care❣️

Hey, thank you! Life got busy for a bit. It's been about a year since posting anything. I've recorded about 10 hikes that need editing. Starting to ramp back up! Funny you mention Ida. We plan on doing that this weekend! I hope you have a great trip. Thanks for all your support!!!

Thanks for the video. I was there with my son, 3rd week of July, we got the only empty parking space. We got tired right about where you are at 5:17 and so we turned around, but it was cool to be hiking the Long's Peak trail after watching a lot of KZbin videos there.

@travelfamilyadventuresАй бұрын
not always. But they’re pretty good on hikes. hiking in beautiful locations with challenging hikes builds character. They learn how to overcome fears and test new boundaries while respecting the mountains. Everything else falls into place.

Do you need a pass to rocky mountain national park to take this hike?
@travelfamilyadventures Жыл бұрын
No you don’t need a timed entry pass since the parking lot is not in the park. There is a parking lot at the end of tunnel road right at the East Portal. This is a great hike in the summer when trying to avoid people and park passes. Not many people on this trail. Sometimes we hike all the way up to Bear Lake then take the shuttle back down to Sprague and hike back out East Portal. This is my go to hike in the summer. Happy trails.

Great footage. But the other comment is spot on! We used to drive from Kansas and stay in Ouray, our favorite place in Colorado. We would rent a jeep and one day we would go to Telluride, and the other day go to Silverton. It was always so much fun! Love Ouray!!! 😊

A special area for sure. Been there many times and going again in July. Tours are cool but renting a Jeep in Ouray and going at your own pace is pretty nice as well and not too difficult for beginners. Happy travels.

We recorded this video on April 30th 2022. We love this little hike because it’s low traffic and you don’t need a timed entry pass. You can hike right into the park pretty much anytime. I’d recommend this hike April through November for best conditions.

Really enjoyed this one. I attempted Flattop/Hallett in 2020, but wasn't prepared enough. I had to turn around at Dream Lake Overlook. I posted my video from that day. I got to meet Nick Sangetta during that hike. I was on my way up as he was on his way down. My hope is to attempt it again this Summer.
