Oh Cat!! My late husband and I drove that area so often and mostly on a motorcycle! In fact we traveled the last time in 2016. On the way home, an elderly lady with dementia and medical issues passed out behind the wheel and hit us head on. My husband did not make it. I was broken in over 20 places. I cried thru this whole video. This was “our place” to get away from the brutal Oklahoma summers in late August. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤

@@candacemeifert-polk7383 the east side of the Rockies with their socialist population that reside in Denver and rape the rest of the state to support their failed fraudulent policies have driven business and natives from the state.

There are ocean people and mountain people and I am definitely a mountain person. Although I like the ocean, the mountains are my preference. Thanks for sharing a beautiful area in a colorful season.

My wife and I fell in love with the San Juans and moved to a 35 acre parcel in Hesperus, just 12 minutes from downtown Durango 4 years ago this week. Life is awesome. We have the best climate at 7500 feet. I built a small campground for our guests.

Years ago I had similar asperations .. then a wise old friend told me to go to the same gorgeous place in the dead of Winter. That's why I live in Tucson. 🤠

[@denisegleason4895]

My mom grew up there and my dad lived his teen years there. My grandparents had there house there, so we visited spring through fall. They called themselves snow birds, living in the Phoenix area in the winter. It's a magical place with timeless stories.

LMAO, I live in Colorado and a couple years ago, I went to Tucson for Christmas just to check it out, loved it, but was advised by more than one local to stay for a few weeks in August to get the full experience. Not off my radar but I appreciated their advice, it was hell hot and things that I didn't think could melt, melted 🔥🤣🔥

[@4CornersGal]

Aww, you're hooked! 😊 We had to wait 17 years after marrying to move to (expensive!) Durango 8 years ago. No place is perfect, but we feel so blessed to live next the La Platas and San Juan Mtns.

I live in Colorado Springs, it is getting very busy but we do have the option to leave town anytime we want being retired. People are friendly here and prices are high. Ha, but aren’t they everywhere? Our weather is mild to me compared to NH where I grew up and lived for 52 years married. Snow comes and goes from March thru April usually. Hiking everywhere and lots of skiing if you want to drive two hours. I love it here and have been here in winters for twenty years so I have seen the influx of people moving here. Denver I stay away from. Ah! I love Ouray Colorado and hiking there. A beautiful video showing the beauty of Colorado.

Catherine, I think we passed one another on Colorado Highway 67 a couple weeks ago. It was just a couple days later I saw your video about the Silverton railway trip lol. I moved to Colorado from Michigan 13 years ago and can never go back. So much hiking, hot springs, beauty everywhere. I don’t blame you for wanting to live here. I have never been sorry. It’s my very favorite state. Good luck in your future decision of where to live.

[@davidbladen5667]

Hi Cat, the views were absolutely stunning. Fall colors, the massive strength of the mountains, and the old western towns have combined to make this part of Colorado exquisitly outstanding. For the most part during my life I spent my vacation in the fall. The crisp air and the beautiful fauna and flora just warm my heart and soul. Thanks for sharing and stay safe! David

I am a fortunate one having lived in Southern California in the sixties and Durango for the past 48 years. A great many people have moved here and still do and I encourage you to do the same because we attract excellent people. The scenery is awesome but the local attitude is the real treasure. Live and let live helping others do the same. Check out buying a mining claim to plant your RV for the season. There is currently one in Eureka that looks prime to me.

It's so beautiful there, I can't believe the spectacular fall 🍁🍁🍂 colors are so pretty. 🤩 Riding alongside the hills with the rich colors of fall are fantastic...and let's not forget about that stunning sunset. Those hillsides were so majestic looking and beautiful. Your videography captured the beauty all around perfectly! I'm sure as spectacular as they looked on film, nothing compares to how beautiful it looked in person I bet? The quaint little town is so cute, I would guess that at Christmas time that town would look so charming... like stepping back in time...all decorated up, like a blast from the past. Another beautiful job of capturing the gorgeous scenery and charm of this place! I'll keep on repeating myself...how blessed are you? Fortunate to do what you love, in visiting these beautiful places and to appreciate nature in all it's glory! God bless you 🙏 Cat in your travels and we'll see you in your next adventure!

My husband and I have been following your gorgeous, epic journeys for over a year now. Thank you for including us all. Also, FYI.

We are 70 and 72 and traveled for 61 days this spring in April and May around the US and Canada. Hauled a teardrop trailer w/wet bath and inside kitchen. Put 11,000 miles on the truck with a cap so we could haul extra gear. Way to many campgrounds (39 during those 2 months). We did manage to stay for 9 nights in Colorado, 4 different campgrounds (2 nights near Durango). We managed to get to Silverton and Ouray from Durango on the 2nd time we tried. The 1st day there was to much snow and slush on the road and had to turn back before we got to Siverton, plenty of years of experience driving in and on snow living in Maine but nope the 1st day was a no go. Had a great time the 2nd day however in those 2 towns. We need to travel less miles and stay in one place longer but there is so much to see across the US and Canada! Travel safe.
