I really enjoyed the video. I'm taking the same trip as you started out. I'm going in Oct 2022. Thanks for sharing. Hotel. No camping.

Enjoy the trip! Hopefully there will still be some great fall colors for you at this iconic spot.

I was up there in the same area about 3 years ago around Novemberish. I stayed over in some tiny home cabin like places in Leadville right by the main strip. To your point regarding your truck and the roads over in the marble crystal area, I remember seeing signs that advised beyond a certain point to only use a short and narrow wheel base 4wd. I had/have a 2 door jeep and it was difficult for me. I think I had seen private property signs in crystal and some of the old crystal cabins had residents there (I am sure seasonal only).

I did see cabins for rent in Crystal. The town is all privately owned. The F150 did fine, but I wouldn’t want to take anything larger.

too bad the owner of the mill has closed access to the river. bad vandals, trash etc. can't blame him
