AMERICA’S HIGHEST CITY (an unexpected adventure)

Crazy to hear Nate talking about the Leadville 100 and now 4 years later he completed it! So cool!

[@lilseth04]

I was thinking the same thing! Had to come back and watch this video before his big race

[@lawmeghan]

Okay I am impressed with the momma when she said “you’re aloud to feel scared, it was scary” teaching kids emotional maturity from such a young age!!!

[@Malc180s]

Easily impressed I see

[@NathalieWerebe]

yes!! i also loved that moment. great teaching moment :)

[@kellyeisenbeisz5104]

With the momma? Dumb

[@gemcat24]

You can tell mum Rebecca is an Aussie parent - “it’s ok to be scared sometimes” is such a great attitude and reflective of the healthy risk opportunities that Australian kids grow up with

[@mandapierce3012]

I’ve been doing life wrong this WHOLE TIME! These kids have lived more than I have in over 3 decades.

I think if you were as adventurous then so would your kids so you wouldn't be worried.

[@kelly_hunsaker_reads]

Your kids learn to do what you love to do. Plus here in Colorado these activities are far more common. Ive taken many of other people's kids white water rafting.

What is so unusual about people going places? All these comments about the bravery are pretty lame! IM.sure.50 and i. See no issues that takes bravery? 😖

[@daakutotobrat]

Kelly Eisenbeisz Maybe u r born in a family that have adventurous spirit that runs in ur family so no fear. U cannot talk only on ur behalf. The family n the kid here maybe the same. They are paddling, rafting n going through rapids. In some part of the world kids n parents do not have that exposure. Am taking of that. So chill its just my opinion. Not need to be bitter

[@myring98]

rewatching these videos (#procrastinating studying for college finals LOL) and it’s crazy how different rick & beck - kara & nate’s relationship. i have thoroughly enjoyed watching the friendship flourish and all they’ve accomplished together.

[@-i.cats-]

Yes, seed planted! Beautiful to see the journey! ❤️

[@johnsaville9210]

I loved staying in Leadville, a decade ago I was there for 2 weeks working out in a gym, swimming laps in a pool and running segments of the Leadville 100 and although it was over 10,000 ft as a base I felt totally exhilarated. I was living in Albuquerque at the time which is around 6,000 ft so I was somewhat acclimatized and I am sure this helped. It was one of those peak periods in your life when you feel totally in flow. I remember like it was yesterday doing a 10 mile run where I had to take off my shoes and wade through waist high streams and running up to above treeline just as a thunderstorm rolled in and scared the crap out of me. Ha ha, now that was exhilarating!

[@shesgotideas]

This was one of the best ever with your friends' kids! I've spent many times in Colorado white water rafting and hiking visiting family and never a dull moment! Colorado is indeed one of my favorite states in the U.S. of A! I spent a night at the highest hotel in North America not too far from Leadville at the Irwin Lodge north of Gunnison at over 12,000 feet! Come out to the Pacific Northwest if you can!

[@caleoday1180]

Quick disclaimer! Alma Colorado is 200 feet higher than Leadville at 10,361' (as opposed to Leadville's 10,151'), although Leadville is much more widely known and visited than Alma. Also, the pine gulch fire is currently the 2nd largest in Colorado history although it moved up since you recorded your video! As well as Leadville hosting the Leadville one hundred, they also host plenty of other fun sporting events! Last year the snowshoe national chamionships were held at the Colorado Mountain College, and telling you from experience, that was HARD. Also, fun fact, fewer than half of the participants in the one hundred mile race finish (my father was unfortunately in the half that didn't, odn't worry, we laugh about it now).
