Rocky Mountain National Park Adventure 4K | Full Time Truck Camper Living

Join me as I explore Rocky Mountain National Park for my first time. I camp overnight inside the park and spend 2 days exploring and hiking to 5 lakes total! I also see some wildlife along the way. This is my final adventure in Colorado this season before moving north. Rocky Mountain National Park is even more beautiful than I imagined.

There is so much ugliness in the world, it's wonderful to be reminded of all the beauty around us. Thanks for showing it to us.

[@staroceans8677]

I could not agree more. What serenity, such peace, magnificence and exquisite beauty. How lucky to be there and thankful that she shared it with her viewers. The photography, videography, and the music was superlative. What a restful and wondrous video.

[@RelaxingWalks]

Agree 💯

[@vikkinicholson2300]

Be safe.

[@dreamlifetravel5764]

Very well said......I loved this amazing place..full of natural wonders....it takes you to a different world altogether...!Regards!

[@kit2130]

There's beauty everywhere. Look up at the sky. Stop to feel the wind, look at ice crystals on a window. Put out a heated birdbath & see even migrating birds up close. Adopt a cute little pet to keep you company. Beauty & love & appreciation is everywhere if you notice, create & make time to enjoy.

[@StereoSpace]

Ya know, Catherine, you're starting to turn these videos into little cinematic works of art. I was watching and thinking how beautifully done the transitions are, how the audio is perfectly balanced between actual sounds of you hiking or speaking and the background music. The photography is outstanding, the scenes are well composed; even the way the river and creeks were your companions, and you photographed them under different light and from different angles, and wove them though the story. Really, really impressive work.

[@ms63nospam]

Ditto, great job Cat!

[@aaronshall9258]

I agree! They are very well done:)

[@davidbreen4727]

anybody that doesn't agree with that opinion is completely insane and belongs in the big cities.

[@concerned1313]

I have come to the same conclusion, your getting really professional about your hiking logs. Great job Catherine, some of the "spectacular" is you, not just the scenery! Stay safe...

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you so much!

[@bhakthimasiribua21]

You are my favorite female backpacker who is motivating me to finish school, be able to travel, and spend time with nature. Thank you for all the videos. They are my happy break during my study :)

[@terryspears2307]

My youngest son proposed 14 years ago to his girlfriend, now his wife, at Emerald Lake. He handed his camera to an elderly gentleman, told him what his plan was. The guy captured the moment perfectly. Safe travels to you from Kentucky.

Getting pretty close to heaven thanks for letting me come along

[@coniferousforests8030]

music during the first 23 seconds can easily be the best soundtrack you ever used, it fits well with sunsets, mountains etc. awesome. very soft, so to say.

[@jimle2078]

For the millionth time, as you have probably heard, your video is surreal. Great job.

[@bdh3949]

Well done Catherine. You are in my neck of the woods now. Was a volunteer in the park for years. Just a magnificent setting is it not? Great seeing some of those trail shots again. So good to see people get beyond the parking lots. Thank you for your post. Take care.

[@twill143]

RMNP is such a treasure. Cannot wait to move back home.

[@mikeswisher7987]

Thank you so much for posting this video Catherine. I recently moved from Washington State to Indiana and my heart is aching to be in the mountains. The saying goes " you are not in the mountains, the mountains are in you". I am counting down the days (9 months and 2 weeks) before I will be back in them again. Thanks again for your beautiful work.

[@johnpinckney4979]

I'd never heard that saying before. I usually think of Muir's quotation about the mountains...

[@boomshanka8743]

Lol @ fearless chipmunk. Thank you for that little window into paradise.

[@deborahsilva3847]

Thank you for sharing. Watching this is a great way to get a mental health break from the craziness of the world. It makes me feel like I can take a deep breath.

WOW AGAIN...No wonder John Denver wrote "Rocky Mountain High". Soooooooooooo....BEAUTIFUL! I nominate you to be the poster child for our National Parks. You channel has inspired me to get out there and so I went through your qualifying purchases and many things got on my Amazon list. I wish you would have had a men's backpack as well in your affiliate program and other man stuff like socks and hiking shoes, boots, etc because I got a dozen or so items on my list to acquire for my upcoming adventures some from your list and some inspired by it. I already had a Kelty backpack and Kelty tent along with another base camp tent and much hiking gear but it is time for some new stuff. I am getting ready for some new adventures and it is all your fault...LOL! You have re-ignited that fire in me with all your inspiring videos. Thank you so much again and again Catherine for reminding us all of how majestic our world is that God created for us to enjoy. I am excited!

Great video Catherine. Simply beautiful. I seen there are a couple of thumbs down again. Who are these haters ? why can't they just not watch the video . I can't believe anybody would put a thumbs down to these videos. maybe they are just depressed lonely stressed out people I don't know but they must be crazy to put thumbs down. love you Catherine. have a great day

[@benmac6740]

@Donald Allen no no duh duh duh Donald Allen ..... Catherines videos are just very unique and beautiful videos and pictures of forests and just beautiful places of lakes and streams. so if you don't like those type of things why would you watch that video or any other videos of that type of content and then give it a thumbs down. it's just not even right ..morally incorrect .so what's your issue? you must be one of the haters. Go back to watching your Disney channels duck man. Nobody forced you or any one else to click on that video . ..

What everyone needs to remember is you Can'T please everyone everyday or time and the Haters (trolls) will never stop Hating, all we can do is Pray for them to find peace and love within them selves for that is the true healing of thy self! With God's blessing he grants you the power to Love yourself, to help others and be kind in all things!

So many mountains and forests and so little time... Beautiful shots and video...

[@wvoutdoorsman5326]

Such a gorgeous park. We were there in the fall and were socked in with snow til we left for Wyoming. We still loved it though. The bull elk were chasing cows which was awesome to listen to the bugling and saw lots of sparing. We hiked to Fern Falls in the snow. We have a video down the list of the hike. Trail ridge rd was closed due to snow. Love the views and trout footage😊👍

We were just there last week. Took the same hike. Thanks for the breathtaking video. Great memory.

[@jackbyrd381]

Ahh, it ended too soon. Gotta love those Rockies. Those roads get you up to quite an elevation. When we spent a day in high elevations, we noticed our hands got a bit swollen for a day until we acclimated. Did you feel like it was a bit more of an effort to hike at that elevation? You're probably in such great shape, you didn't notice much. Wonderful video of a breath taking place. Bold chipmunks and large trout. Love, love, love.
