Elk And Cattle Roadside / San Isabel Forest, CO To Salida, CO

[@georgeerhard1949]

Those trees are ASPENS. You get to a high enough altitude and you'll see them everywhere. They're actually clones... a root system runs between them all, so one grove is pretty much the same tree. They're called "quaking aspens" because of the leaves - the slightest breeze will set them to quivering. They're also one of the first trees to turn gold in fall, first at high elevations and then moving downward as the season progresses. So you'll get bands of gold trees on the mountainsides.

Thanks!

[@stevenking2469]

I glad you knew. And thank you for sharing. They looked like a Birch to me from here...lol

[@tstalcup1]

These TAT videos are amazing. Enjoying every day.

[@bobbendt1698]

Aspen or as some old-timers called them "quakies" . Love the Salida / Arkansas river valley area. Beautiful riding and 4 wheeling all around there.

[@JerryGarnett]

Ahh the Aspens! Our favorite. Our Favorite mountain tree. Different family from the birch but we actually planted river birch here in Oklahoma because they remind us of the Aspen.

[@pennyb3407]

Safe on the road and I sure love these videos that miss riding

[@fredaustrinojr8186]

Good luck looks like fun prayers an be safe later.

[@timdavis8154]

Definitely epic scenery 👌

[@ChrisRaH69]

OOoohhh Adam!! You get me hooked with the video and I'm just thinking "WOW this is cool stuff" and then BAM its over. Brother you are such a tease. 5 min vids are not long enough for the stuff you are doing. I just want to see more of you guys on the bikes and the beautiful scenery.

[@adamsandoval]

[@coloradokid1346]

Hey Adam you are in my home state of Colo. The area you are in is so beautiful. Yes those are Aspens. I miss seeing them turn gold in the fall. I really do envy Adam on this ride. So awesome.

[@jordanyocum1623]

Holy "COW", awesome day on the TAT. Such beautiful country. A thousand feet of death reminds me of a road I was on in Bolivia. Stay safe, enjoy and stay stubborn.

[@billarthur3935]

[@krzysztofczaplinski9549]

[@grahamjohnson3154]

Cool scenery and epic drop offs. Stay safe and keep the Vlogs coming, how about adding some camp fire stories to the trip. That Jeep is awesome too.. until tomorrow.

[@teresacarlisle9747]

[@baggerphil9597]

Those trees are Aspen trees. Fun fact they are all connected to one mother bush. They inspired the trees in the movie avatar

[@keithqueen3554]

[@adamsandoval]

I appreciate the info! thanks for tuning in 👊

[@RoadKing05FLHR]

The strange thing about aspen trees is that they are actually one living thing, not individual trees. Considered to be the largest living thing on earth. Elk like aspens.

[@cm2798]

Those are our famous aspens..populous tremeloides..also known as "quakies"..they get that from how they appear to kind of tremble in a breeze..you need to see them in the fall when the leaves all turn yellow and the mountains appear to turn gold. So awesome, you were right up by one of my "short day ride "loops i ride on my bike when i can't go more than a few hours on Sunday..Westcliffe /Silver cliffe- area.. you may see black bears and mountain lions too on those back roads.. some of the elk herds will be in the hundreds all running across the road in front of you..blm and state forest roads don't always go the way you think they should the way they are mapped. Looks like you all are having the adventure you want though.Enjoy!

[@danabrown387]

One of the reasons your gps tracks are taking you to gates and areas that are off limits or non motorized travel is their source. A lot of his tracks on the TAT haven’t been updated or were poorly mapped, a lot of riders have had issues especially in North Carolina as well as Colorado and Utah.

[@TheBadgers]

Bull and a red bike could be a fun combo.

[@buckreynolds1779]

damn....thought I waz gonna be first....thanks for video...yall be safe

[@jimwms1able]

Aspens...you are still in the easy stuff. The really fun stuff is coming as you go further west. Video is much better. Showing actually riding. Nice.

[@mattfire7794]

Great footage!! Scenery looks amazing!! We ran into a heard of Buffalo out in South Dakota. Talk about being nervous, those things are huge.

[@adamsandoval]

it's definitely a very humbling moment when you come across them

[@RandysRides]

Pretty epic scenery. I wish these were a bit longer with some camp footage included. Cool stuff, though. :) :)

[@theidesofmarch314]

Same here though we would see more of the trail and some camp.

[@johnnyturbo8460]

Lol welcome to the TAT, like i said always have a back up route (or two or three) as a detour when your road ends at either a fence or do not enter sign

[@MilesCaptured]

Aspen trees you can actually use the dust of the bark as a low spf sunblock

[@joylynnburkhardt3202]

They are Aspen .. also know as Quaking Aspen! When the wind blows they shake .. quake ..

[@adamsandoval]

that must be eerie !

[@DeBa1226]

Aspen Trees bro... those things close to water, or if you can get water to them, they grow like crazy. They produce the best sound in the breeze of any tree. Poncha a Springs right down the road from Salida, has the most incredible authentic Mexican food at a mom n pop stop called Tony’s! Where to next?

[@adamsandoval]

just taking it as it comes, enjoying the trip

[@robpedersen1588]

Looks like Aspen’s to me Adam.

[@TheRooster1122]

I believe them trees are Aspens Adam!

[@jackr.4119]

I think the trees are Birch trees ...

[@tombartlett7448]

From Wisconsin you should know aspen AKA popal

[@clairejames642]

Did you say Birch I reckon a silver Birch. We have them DownUnder🇦🇺

[@davidwalden411]

would like to see more of the camping set up

[@richardlindsey7112]

Damn bro so jealous

[@pach65851]

Miss the harley trips

[@adamsandoval]

I'll be back to it once we return to the Kriver 👊 just trying to do this whole social distance tour in the meantime

[@pach65851]

I been following you from mexico, the social distance tour its awesome but harley trips are special!!

[@thelifeofdan5768]

Pretty short video. Looks like a great ride though.

[@paulmartin3354]

They look like Aspens, typically the last tree before you go past the tree line on altitude

[@theidesofmarch314]

On the western half have you needed 4x4 with the jeep yep?

[@steves3688]

From what have read many of the rancher, farmers will post that stuff but it is public right away on that tat map(thats from Kevins website)...they just do it to discourage riders crossing thru their land on public right aways...from Kevins Webpage: Q: Does this trail cross private property? A: Yes, of course many times. There are many public easements which allow people to cross these zones. There are also many gates, which you are allowed to open and pass through. You are requested to leave the gate as you found it, open or closed. This is very common out west. Sadly some property owners wish there was no public easement and will post no trespassing signs, which can be confusing, really it means you are allowed to pass on the road, but should not travel off the road onto their property.

[@traceysmith311]

the trees are aspens

[@tardisphotography4550]

Aspens on the trees....i see you probably already see that tho

[@phillipperkins6230]

👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽 MOOOO !!! Lol

[@radd6564]

Persistence and stay stubborn upward and westward bound, you guys are doing great ! Adam where is your last destination on the west coast and when do u expect to arrive there ? I would like to ride down from Coeur d alene idaho to meet you and crew. At 70 I don't have many years left to ride and meeting you would be an honor for all you do. Ride safe

[@adamsandoval]

it's hard to tell, we've had some mishaps and just rising what we can... not keeping a steady pace, just taking it as it comes

[@Lazyj59]

You'd best worry about those mama cows! Those range cows can do some mean SOB's

[@chrislacosse6500]

Aspen...poplar

[@mikehenthorn79]

Those are Aspen trees. They are all connected. So all the Aspen trees are one big living organism. You damage one it effect them all.

[@virafsurty5023]

euceleptas trees I think

[@sgt.papasmokes2707]

Those are aspen trees

[@RoadKing05FLHR]

A lot of people seem to have route problems. I know things change but there are some private properties on the route. Are you saving your tracks? I think Sam's route is supposed to be verified better. I am starting in the East next week coming from the Gulf Coast. I have both Kevin and Sam's routes.

Thanks for your reply 👍

Adam did y'all visit Bishop's castle while in San isabel?
