I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that you guys left this heaven and moved to arizona. But perhaps another adventurous life awaits you both. Good luck

[@pamelakern2849]

I love the wildflowers 🏵⚘🌻 Great and informative video.

[@JeanieMarie]

It's a wildflower paradise! So beautiful!

[@JohnHH59]

Best travel guide to Colorado, by far. My sister just moved there so finding you is a blessing. Just subscribed.

[@JeanieMarie]

Wonderful! So glad you found me! Thanks for watching and Enjoy!!

[@chiefenumclaw7960]

Seeing the West through Midwestern eyes, makes for an illuminated view.

[@JeanieMarie]

The west is best in my eyes 👀 😍

[@coralcaraballo]

We are planning our road trip and this guide was amazing 🤩 thank you!

[@JeanieMarie]

Wonderful! Glad it helped! Thanks so much for watching!

[@rituka]

Beautiful town! I’ll need to add it to my list. Great video!

[@JeanieMarie]

Yes, you do! It's so pretty, especially during wildflower season. Thanks so much for watching!

[@ayeshas.3727]

I absolutely love your videos, it is everything I want in a travel video, sights, food, info etc. Just perfect, thank you for making helpful videos.

[@rebeccadornin4908]

I am planning our off road trip in Colorado now for my little family(including a two year old!). Thank you for giving me a peace of mind with solid, safe plans and adventure! :)

[@TheDude-xg4dr]

I am surprised you two adventurers did not visit the area in Marble, CO where local craftsmen work using hand-held grinders to actually carve large, unearthed marble stones to create beautiful marble sculptures. Years ago, there was a store selling finished sculptures where tourists would be able to actually purchase finished sculptures for their home or office. Maybe I was just lucky to visit the town the weekend when they had this gathering of craftsmen doing their thing... creating cool sculptures and making a lot of dust!

[@JeanieMarie]

We did see houses selling sculptures from their driveway but didn't see anyone carving them. They looked neat from what we saw.

[@TheDude-xg4dr]

I guess I lucked out visiting on the right weekend and witnessed something special. Take care young lady. Look forward to your fine productions! @@JeanieMarie

[@JeanieMarie]

@@TheDude-xg4dr You definitely did! That would be neat to see. And thank you so much for watching!

[@aprildolan223]

Another great video. Love all the info: food, accommodations, hiking and attraction suggestions along with a little history and general info. Keep up the good work!

[@JeanieMarie]

Thank you so much! I appreciate that feedback! Thanks for watching!

[@jimarmentrout8482]

We just thought we had seen Colorado until we happened onto your vid’s!!! We thank you….. our bucket list for next year is huge!!!

[@JeanieMarie]

Awesome! Glad you found me!! So much to see and do in CO! Thanks for watching!

[@bjbradley8530]

Great video Jeanie,you have inspired us to make a similar trip,TY!

[@JeanieMarie]

Wonderful! Have a great time!!

[@annalim3050]

Love all your info, especially the side x side to Crystal Mill

[@JeanieMarie]

Thanks for watching 💕

[@carltoncooper3497]

I love and appreciate your videos. They are so inspiring to me and my wife. We try and visit the lovely state of Colorado at least once or twice a year. Now that we stumbled upon your videos it gives us more options when we visit.....

[@JeanieMarie]

Wonderful! So glad you found me! Thanks for watching and hope you can visit Colorado soon!

[@Prash5]

We are traveling to Colorado next week from Missouri. Your videos are really helpful. We are planning to visit Colorado springs, Aspen and Marble. Your travel style is similar to ours, I'm just going to follow most part of your videos like a manual 😂.

[@alim1379]

Best video on here!

[@JeanieMarie]

Thank you!! 😊

[@northcarolinalee1441]

Jeanie, when is the time for these flowers blooming, it's beautiful.

[@TheGodExperiments]

Hope the ankle is feeling better after the last hike!

[@JeanieMarie]

I'm getting there! I probably shouldn't have done the Judd Falls Hike in this vlog the week after I sprained it. But I'm definitely getting better and better each day!

[@jimmymoloney7360]

It is important to note that much of the Judd Falls is on private land. The rest of the land around Co Rd 317 is used for ecology research, so make sure to stay on the trail.

[@JeanieMarie]

Yes, always stay on the trail! 👍

[@SafaryPakistan]

Good

[@watkinsphoto]

I really enjoy your videos. They are very informative. Would Gunnison or Crested Butte be a good base to see the Maroon Bells, or would Aspen be better--and how long does it take to get from Crested Butte to Aspen in the late summer/early fall? Thanks!

[@JeanieMarie]

Maroon Bells in is Aspen - you'll want to be there and sign up for the shuttle. If you haven't watched my Aspen vlog check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gonLqKKnjbVlm8U

[@jackie11995]

Hey Jeanie love the content! Could you tell me what exactly your filming on? Thanks in advance!

[@JeanieMarie]

My phone and a gropro! Thanks for watching!!

[@CraigLoeffelholz]

When / while can, people and couples should pay the (nice ride if necessary) company $276 for mask for the hike walk to crystal mill as such privilege is worth it even though that’s $1 difference - the ability to hike/walk there is priceless. Besides this will save much resources including dust and roadside debris/cliff fallout from adding more turbidity to the area’s rivers and streams / challenges to wildlife. Very nice video other than not speaking positive of the Marble hiking etc options (this country has spent many more resources on masks due to silly politic’s investment in pandemic making and recent decades of very destructive war making costing many lives and trillions in war and build back costs). Peace and enjoy the walks / hikes and be good on the journeys.

[@MindshareMarketing]

On Day 2, how did you drive to Marble? If you didn't want to take the pass road, did you drive west through Paonia?

[@BopjoWebDesign]

Great video, thanks for posting the information. When you rented the ATV from RPS Rentals were you able to reserve it in advance or did you just show up and rent it on the spot?

[@JeanieMarie]

Thank You for watching! You must reserve it in advance. 🙂

[@BopjoWebDesign]

@@JeanieMarie Thanks!

[@donroberts2115]

Did you go over Kebler Pass or through the Black Canyon? I grew up in that general area (Paonia). My ancestors actually homesteaded Erickson Springs.

[@JeanieMarie]

No we didn't go that far..that would have added lot of time to our day. But one day we will check it all out!

[@mommykristawagner1032]

How far was It in the summer to marble from where you stayed in Gunnison

[@heathermalone9091]

Quick update for everyone. The lift is only free if you hike to the summit and ride it down. To take the lift up is a jaw-dropping $34 per person. So perhaps your poor timing actually spared you some sticker shock. 😂 Anyway this video was incredibly helpful in planning my beloved's bday adventure. Thank you so much! 🫶

[@theshop5331]

August 2023, I picked up on the “free” too! Haha. 40 bucks at keystone, I think it’s like 10 or 15 more to take your bike up as well.

[@mariac7069]

@@theshop5331 Just checked June 2024.... $45!!! Yikes!

[@jklmn1544]

So, was the ride up to Crystal Mill still dicey in the side by side? I’m kind of a chicken about both heights and crazy drivers.

[@JeanieMarie]

I was definitely comfortable in a side by side. But you would NEVER catch in a vehicle on that road. I would have been a nervous wreck!

[@poojadonekal3689]

How is crested butte for early september?

[@DrowhzyPanda]

what time of the year is this?

[@eprohoda]

how are you?, Jeanie~fantatsic ! =))

[@JeanieMarie]

Yes, that's me, even with a sprained ankle! :)

[@stevenwinterhill3623]

Darling the phone you bought

[@JeanieMarie]

I have the newest Samsung Galaxy s22 Ultra

[@clariceilustre8856]

Are the wildflowers still around in September?

[@JeanieMarie]

There may be some, but they will most likely be turning into fall foliage by then especially in later Sept.

[@danielschear556]

What?! No unleashed incessantly BARKING dogs to enhance your beautiful experience?!🐩🐕🙉

[@JeanieMarie]

😅 Nope not this time 🙌 now that I think about it, I don't think I saw one dog the entire time!

[@danielschear556]

@@JeanieMarie NO BARKING DOGS?! That's tantamount to a Power Ball Lotto win!👍👏🤗🤣

[@JeanieMarie]

😅 Agreed!

[@user-kt4xb9ps2w]

You rented an ATV and stated that hiking to the Crystal Mill would not be good because then you would be eating dust from ATVs. I lived in Marble for 30 years and had to leave because of the noise, dust, erosion, intimidation from aggressive drivers and destruction of wildflowers from driving and parking on them by ATVs. You are part of the problem.
