Wow, beautiful scenery and photography!

[@Metal1412]

100% hooked on these videos! Thank you for making and posting these!

As a kid growing up in Colorado, I had the book "The Colorado Pass Book" by Don Koch. As soon as I saw and read about Tomichi Pass, I knew I wanted to do that pass. We didn't have any 4WD vehicles at that time so I sort of forgot about it. Fast forward to 2009, I just got my 1st jeep. We were visiting family in Trinidad, and made this as a very long day trip, 5 passes (3 dirt): LaVeta, Poncha, Hancock, Tomichi, and Old Monarch. What a trip, but so beautiful. I really like the contrast of looking at one pass from the other. Looking at Tomichi from Hancock you see this very graceful, elegant shelf road. Looking at Hancock from Tomichi, you see this almost brute-force road wiggling down the valley. I have to do this again (but not in a single day). Thanks for bringing back those memories.

Thank you for this. Your jeep looks like a h1 hummer disguised as a jeep ! the sign at the end is funny, what a lucky grump old man. This whole jourmey was amazing. i hope to visit here one day and do what you did. i really appreciate you. You are a kind person and i really appreciate your video. the name reminds me of my birth given name and a girl i am close with in japan named chi. You got some awesome footage. ❤

[@Colorado4x4]

I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your friends from Castle Rock that drove the Rubistina white JL. My thoughts and prayers are with their kids 🙏 🤲

[@VideosOffRoad]

Great video! Looks like another fun trail with epic scenery! 😊

[@ZR2BIZON]

I've never missed summer as much as after watching this video!

[@coBandy69]

Beautiful area and lotsa awesome dirt bike trails as well. I see you just kept heading south to exit lol..! probably smart move as it takes a very long time to turn around and get over to Pitkin..

[@andreaagnew2186]

Great drone footage.

[@TrailTraveler]

Thanks!

[@mntgoat2.0]

The Taylor Park area is gorgeous!!!! Been going out there for 10 years with side by sides but its time to build a Jeep and see other areas of Colorado. Getting older and don't like all the dust in my eyes 😜

[@NigelNaughton]

Nice! Yeah, that didn't look to be too difficult.

[@OffRoadRN]

The St Elmo area is great. There's something for everyone, from basic dirt roads to extreme trails.

[@jamescampolo7824]

Nice, my favorite pass is Kebler, easy to do on two wheels. (part of the West Elk Loop). You should do NYE at the Redstone Inn if you can get in. Might be too warm for you. lol

[@gbaines4284]

That area must have been hit hard by pine beatles. Still beautiful

[@brunnie]

Hancock looks to be way worse then when I did it several years ago. When we did Tomichi, pre landslide, I'd say it was a 3-4

[@DeanJohnson67]

out of state permit for 2024 for me and my jeep was only 25.25 + roundup tip I chose so $40 total (2024) - OHV Permit Valid Jul 02 2024 THRU Mar 31 2025 Fulfillment Method: Fulfilled by Mail (Standard Shipping - $0.00) okay back to the video

[@TrailTraveler]

I don’t think there is any difference with in state or out of state, that’s the same price we pay.

[@klm404]

How far off camber was the worst spot??? (I won’t do trails with 30 degrees or greater)

[@TrailTraveler]

Maybe 18-20 if you pick the worst lines

[@UncleFjester]

Really? So whjat happens if you hit 31º? Quit and let the woman drive the rest of the way? 🤣

[@richardplunk3910]

Love the trails, but the music with it not so much 👎I just prefer the sounds ya'll hear doing it,sounds of nature 👍🍺

[@TrailTraveler]

I hear you, but there are two issues with that. 1) Wind noise really ruins the audio quality and 2) Drones have no audio, if they did, you would just hear prop noise. We try to include as much "natural sound" as possible, but without any music at all, you wouldn't hear much of anything pleasant to listen to.

[@richardplunk3910]

@TrailTraveler the last part was better, very low music 👌👍🍺

[@kamikazekunze]

Man I am really starting to dislike my state. An OHV pass for a registered vehicle? Time to vote with my feet and move to a friendlier state. 😢

[@TrailTraveler]

I don't have a problem with it because it is only for "trails" and not things like forest roads, which many of the "trails" we go on actually are. It helps to fund the maintenance and help keep trails open.

[@sevendewey]

I just wish it was something you could add at the time of registration.
