Overlanding the Enchanted Rockies | The Most Beautiful Place in New Mexico

[@markjacobs3956]

I finally found a channel that doesn't make me feel like a loser because I don't have a brand new rig and all the latest gizmos from Overland Expo. I have no idea how you guys can have that much fun in those old rigs. Lol.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Man that’s exactly the experience I want to show. Such a bummer how commercialized it’s become. It might just be that I’m a utilitarian but I don’t see the need for all the extra gear!

[@BobSweet-h4q]

I never comment on anything. However, this is worthy. Stunning video skill, stunning scenery and most importantly--down to earth people with everyday rigs that a majority can relate to. Keep it up gentlemen and thanks for the effort.

[@basebalful]

(Beautiful)...Another awesome program well done son. Your Pa!!

[@MrDocstone108]

As always Cody, grand slam. Jemez mts. carson, red river, sangre de christo. Editing is always POW. Great virtual trip!!!!!

[@marcustomz]

This photage you captured is Amazing! The colors were beautiful. Nicely Done

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thanks for watching!

[@OffGridBackcountryAdventures]

Great video, I love that area of New Mexico.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Me too, thanks for watching!

[@ezmomentsphoto]

Annddddd the best season to do it with the Aspens popping! Truly this place doesn't disappoint. Well captured lad

[@Bossladyone2]

Red River does look like Ouray. Stunning, rugged beauty!!

[@grandeoverland6787]

Took me forever to realize that NM had places like this to offer. It really is special and has to be much more secluded than many places up here in CO. Thank you for sharing these great shots from down South!

[@Whitedogoverland]

Yeah the north is really underrated. Not many people in New Mexico in general. I love it up there.

[@joannewinters9616]

Thank you for sharing all this it was so neat you guys take care pet the dog for me

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thanks for watching!

[@unchainedq6939]

Live in the phoenix area. Love your videos! Thx for the ideas and inspiration.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thank you for watching!

[@drewolm]

Great video. You’ve done a few NM videos and as NM resident I appreciate your take on our State. Love the full size rigs out rolling around too!

[@Whitedogoverland]

I’m starting to really enjoy coming that way, almost more than Az. Something different about New Mexico. Thanks for watching!

[@tommy-guns478]

Less people In NM @@Whitedogoverland

[@delvinmorales9458]

This place has been on my list forever. One day I'll make it out there

[@Whitedogoverland]

Save it for the fall, you won’t regret it!

[@mr_zeus6148]

Amazing how these vehicles you drive everywhere

[@MrShroomcloud]

Thanks for putting this together. After watching your video I had you add the Valles Caldera spot to my Western Road Trip hit list. Last month I made that trip. Approaching from the east I was stopped by snow above 10,900 ft...8 miles short. I had to fall back and circle around an approach from the West. With some unsolicited help from a local rancher, I was able to make it. What a breathtaking location...I have to admit I was a little misty. Coming from Florida, they're just aren't views that can compare to this. Camped there ovenight. Spent hours glassing down into and around the Caldera. Without you putting this content out there, this guy from Florida would have had no idea I had that such a place even existed.

[@Whitedogoverland]

I’m glad I could assist! That spot is beyond sweet, huge change from Florida scenery!

[@barbarabergman8441]

What a fantastic area. We just came back from Colorado Springs on I-25 thru Raton and the area is beautiful but now I know what all that mountain area around there looks like...thanks for the tour. Looking forward for more!!

[@Whitedogoverland]

I’ve always passed through wondering how the mountains look. Now I know and I will return. It’s such an under appreciated part of the Rockies.

[@kwmoore3464]

I agree with your issues concerning the side by side vehicles. Goose Lake trail is so narrow & there is so many of them it makes it a real chore to get to Goose Lake. For some reason there seems to be a boatload of Texans there too. You should plan a trip to Valle Vidal. It's North of Red River and it's remote enough where you won't be bothered by other people. There are beautiful views similar to the Valles Caldera area. Thanks for posting your trip. I even recognized some of the trails this time.

[@Whitedogoverland]

You nailed it, 100% all Texans. I don’t blame them for wanting to get out of that flat state but man was it rough passing a gaggle of 4 every couple minutes. It was well worth it though.

[@joandonnelly7206]

​@Whitedogoverland NM girl living in Texas, you aren't wrong. On any given day nothing but Texans passing my mom and dad's headed to Angel Fire, Red River, Eagle Nest. They live in Guadalupita, NM on 434.

[@toddhoffmaster6057]

Red River looked just like Silverton and the clear water lake was nice. That is the prettiest that I have ever seen NM

[@Whitedogoverland]

Me too. I was blown away by that country. So many consider New Mexico flat and boring but it’s so far from that

[@swampdogglawless88]

Beautiful country

[@michaelelliott1519]

I was just over there exploring the Lincoln and Carson National Forests. Very beautiful area. I have been up there several times over the last 6 years because it's within a days drive from Dallas. I agree about the traffic. I went during the week and was surprised how many people were on the trails. Luckily I didn't come across anyone while navigating a tight shelf road.

[@Whitedogoverland]

That area is something special. Unfortunately the closer you are to ski towns, the more traffic you’ll find. It’s certainly better than CO which is prettt blown out these days.

[@joandonnelly7206]

Great showcase of my beautiful home state. My family is 18 miles south of Angel Fire in the most beautiful mountains IMO.

[@joandonnelly7206]

There is a road from Tres Rita's NM that goes to Angel Fire, NM thru LA Junta canyon that is just beautiful. Need high clearance rig.

[@Whitedogoverland]

I’d have to agree, easily the most beautiful country I’ve travelled through. Hard to beat it mid aspen change as well!

[@dirtremedyoffroad]

Killer video

[@uncledougiecampboss8382]

Looks like a great run. Your drone footage was excellent. I know the frustration of being near a destination area that rents side by sides.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Wish you could of made this one! It was killer. Thanks for watching brother.

[@BoCoOverland]

Nice. Just got back from a trip through Gila and Cibola NF's and finished with a swing through the San Juan's.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Absolutely stunning area up north

[@Theorcman2008]

Not enough full size trucks overlanding out there! You got a new Subscriber!

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thanks brotha!

[@tmclendon2434]

If Jack is interested…..I’ve got a rough country winch plate and shackle mounts for 88-98 OBS K1500’s designed to fit behind front bumper that should work on his ‘burb? Bought them several years ago and never installed on my 94 K1500 that I no longer own. Been looking for someone to give this stuff to and use instead of me tossing them into scrap metal. I’m located in Tucson also.

[@JackOlsen-ub3kf]

I’d be happy to take those off your hands! Just let me know a good way to get in contact with you

[@fieldagent59isintheforest32]

Great to see the area between the Caldera and Red River... we have a few acres of farm land in Espanola and I've always wanted to see the surrounding mountains.... thx...

[@Whitedogoverland]

It’s a stunning place up there, this summer I’ll be headed back. Everywhere you look is breath taking.

[@ignoreamos1]

Nice Job Cody! impressive areas you've been hitting... maybe join you one of these days with my LR3

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thanks Micheal, let’s definitely get out one of these days!

[@DJxghost07]

Hard part of alot of local trails spend half the ride letting people pass but i havent hit that one ill have to look into it before i park up for the season

[@ChesapeakeBayProductions]

Yea Man, I enjoyed the video. Thx for sharing. We’re all out doing whatever it is we enjoy and area’s get busy. You’ll have rookies, locals, vacationers, dumb ass and all the rest at popular trails. Part of it really, what ya gonna do? I “try” and dispersed camp far away as I can and I trailer a SxS to ride trails. SxS are fun for me, more comfortable on my old ass 52 yr old body and presents more exploring opportunities on tight side trails. I’ll move camp every other day or two on long trips. So I see both sides. Subscriber here, your video’s have great content and you do well narrating. Would enjoy seeing more of White Dog in the vid’s.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thanks for watching I appreciate your support. Everyone’s got their own interest in the outdoor hobby you just gotta go with what appeals most to you and get out there!

[@tomassanesson902]

Amazing epik video

[@TijuanaTaxiJeep]

Dude, uphill traffic has the right away. Red River is our stomping grounds.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Yeah forsure, couple spots we had immediately passed had small pull outs, I couldn’t believe the traffic but killer trail. Gorgeous town

[@peterrichardson4192]

Stunning video Beautiful scenery i want to sell up and move to America.

[@Whitedogoverland]

I don’t blame you with the current state of the UK, US is getting worse but we have immense country to escape to

[@jasonbenton-lx7tz]

Would you tell me how you find your camping spots? Awesome places!

[@Whitedogoverland]

Onx offroad is prime for planning offroad routes! Use wdo20 for 20% if you go with their app!

[@LoneStarNomads]

Yeah the trails around Red River are crowded all the dang time. They just need more of them in that area

[@Whitedogoverland]

They definitely do. The whole area is gorgeous but only maybe 2 trails max take you into that mountain range. Still worth the traffic

[@44bgood]

I hate razrs. Your assessment is correct.

[@symorlinthecaster5882]

More camp life! i wouldnt mind a 40 min video!

[@tommy-guns478]

The ATVs and the UTVs have ruined it for the 4/wheeling.. they never respect the rules of the roads. uphill has the right of way. Love your adventures in New Mexico my home state . You have been a lot of places I have been. But its been a long time since I have done a lot of exploring.. You do an amazing job.

[@Whitedogoverland]

I’ve recently realized that uphill has the right of way. I usually go by who’s got the most lug nuts in convoy haha. It’s so stunning out that way. Thank you so much

[@joshuas5015]

What's the location of the spot above the Caldera? I showed my pops this video and we have to go there. I live in Albuquerque and haven't found it

[@Whitedogoverland]

Man if you’re on Instagram I’d share it with you, just don’t like to put spots out publicly on here!

[@44bgood]

You done camino del diablo yet? Highly recommend ...great az winter adventure

[@Whitedogoverland]

I haven’t yet, was planning this winter and up to kofa but I’ve been told it’s not worth it by several people. Lots of mixed opinions but I think that gives me more incentive to check it out

[@44bgood]

@@Whitedogoverland huh, I did it this spring and loved it. Wildflower bloom was insane

[@Whitedogoverland]

Maybe I’ll wait til April for that. I could imagine the colors are insane

[@michaelweyer5702]

I’m headed out to New Mexico and Arizona from Wisconsin in a month. Are you a part of any over landing crews or Facebook groups that I could connect with? Not looking to be out there all alone, but not many of my friends have any interest in road tripping?

[@Whitedogoverland]

What dates are you heading out this way? Arizona overlanders on Facebook is great but if we can line the dates up I can plan something and you can join! Are you on Instagram?

[@BoCoOverland]

14:00 Those are the Sangre De Cristo mountains near Taos, not San Juans. There is something magical about that place.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Yeah I mentioned that at the end of the video, I was saying it felt like we jumped the border into the San Juan’s cuz they are so similar

[@kendricknolandh206]

I want to be rip wheeler too

[@hughwolfe1176]

Many years ago I learned that uphill has the right of way, be it walkers, hikers, cyclists, bikers or vehicles. Thus backing down the hill for a bunch of side by sides just doesn’t seem right. Might be polite but rude on their part for not getting out of your way as you were the ones coming uphill… Unfamiliar with your channel, but I like your content so subscribed… Safe travels

[@Whitedogoverland]

I usually just assume right of way to whomever has most lug nuts in convoy but recently figured out uphill has the go. Thanks for the sub!

[@AllenDavid23]

People that say they thought New Mexico was a desert state are the ones that still think Nm is not apart of the usa 😂

[@Whitedogoverland]

It’s the most disregarded state. Which is fine by me, keeps the yahoos out!
