Hey,Hey, It's RVerTV Russ trucking East, Yeah . Pile in, and let's ride with our friend Russ.

[@lindabradford9591]

We are all in the van. Welcome lol

[@lloydbaker6988]

@lindabradford9591. It is always a fun day, hanging out with RVerTV Russ.👍

[@bobmirror7164]

You just showed me why I never stop at those kind of places.

[@danielknepper6884]

Everybody loves Russ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jamesspikes3786]

Been thru there many times from Louisiana to Montrose going Elk & Mule deer hunting .

[@doublecross9690]

I look forward to each video, the different camera views on the road driving seeing the beautiful countryside, the drone views, the country jingle you blend in to the beautiful scenery, these are truly professional edited videos, amazing what you do on the road

[@rvertv]

Thanks 👍

[@crystalpaben2471]

Thank you Russ for the longer video, All your videos should be a hour or two hours long. I do not know how you can show any thing in 20 min. You do a great job.

[@rvertv]

Wow, thanks

[@IDNHANTU2day]

I second it. Your new format with long vídeos and several stops is probably easier for you to edit. Filming and editing in one day will burn you out. So whatever it takes to keep you sharp, healthy, and not stress out over a deadline, is ok with me. Thank you Russ.

[@juliebradford2999]

Beautiful place! THANKS for Sharing!!

[@thortessem271]

Safe travels. Love the Royal Gorge Bridge. I took my mom and dad to Royal Gorge

[@CrashTestPrivate]

I remember when I was a kid, there were big debates on television about rather or not to let people bungee jump off the Royal Gorge Bridge. I used to ride the cars that went up and down those rails , and there used to be a big ghost town there with gun fights, Gold panning , and a restaurant. Thanks for the trip down memory lane , what a beautiful state my home state is.

[@jimbridge4166]

Thank you. RUSS

[@diannamartin489]

Thanks again Russ for another awesome adventure. You are the bestest!!!!

[@yvonnemiranda2918]

Wow that Royal Gorge bridge was very interesting..I love it ...stay cool Russ don't you over 🔥

Nice trip Russ. Are you heading to Sturgis again?”

[@MySORRELL]

THANKS!

You're welcome!

[@Marcy.Duvall]

Russ is not afraid of heights!

[@yvonnemiranda2918]

Oh yes been there it's a beautiful drive..I love the Colorado forest..❤ safe travels Russ 😊

[@rvertv]

Thanks 👍

[@richardl.7390]

Very nice video. Where there is snow in the winter, there is water in the summer. Colorado is a proof of that. Not my favorite State but worth a sightseeing trip anyway !! RICHARD

[@markwood1097]

I rafted thru there it looked like the train could barely fit on that track & from below looked more like 2ooo ft up, thanks to you I've seen from the top now! was there 2yrs ago have good friend lives 10 min from RGB got to go visit him soon! & that hwy 50 1 of the best drives in the country.. got to catch up on so many of your videos! thanks for continuing the travels!! be safe....have FUN!

[@carolhowell3969]

Love your videos

[@brpmanmann1255]

Thanks for crossing Royal Gorge Bridge off my bucket list .

[@RVFreeDa]

I came down from Salida through the Monarch Pass. I stopped and climbed way up to the just about the top of that road behind the store. Also got a cool TShirt there! Love that place! ❤️

[@rvertv]

Very cool!

[@barbhagens1167]

When we were out there, we saw rafters way down on the river. We also rode the Royal Gorge Railroad through the Gorge, under the bridge! It was cool!

[@johnlenart597]

Thanks for the trip to the RGB. I bypassed it 20 years ago because the AAA tourbook showed me the price. I instead took rt 92 through Black Canyon of the Gunnison Natl Park. More scenic on 2 wheels. Scared me to death. 😱😱 I did enjoy taking the trip with you. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋‍♂️

[@charleshicks3492]

Excellent, great video tour⭐️⭐️😎🤩

[@earllutz2663]

Thanks for the ride Russ. As always, I am enjoying the views, from your cameras.

[@debbiekelsey5529]

Beautiful

[@rvertv]

Thank you

[@c.p.774]

You did it again. Excellent video. My husband and I feel like we're there. Thanks and stay safe.😊

[@marilynmcfann295]

Thank you, Russ for the awesome job! Monarch Pass and Royal Gorge was absolutely beautiful! Your touring is so pleasant. Colorado is breathe taking! ❤🎉❤

[@wyyeti4004]

Hi Russ! When we walked across the bridge, there were gaps in the planks, and you could look straight down. Heckuva view! Really like your longer videos when you’re on your travels. Thank you for your hard work, research & editing time.

[@philoyler4522]

Hey Russell thanks for sharing that view over the bridge it gave me the willies I'm enjoying the trip keep rocking and rolling brother and God bless

[@robjean8415]

Spectacular drive along the river. Thanks for the cruise today.

[@timfeeley714-25]

When I was there in 2007 you could still drive across the bridge, it was full of tourists and cars going as slow as the tourists and nudging their way across the bridge, it was really something to stand at one end of the bridge and watch a car enter the other end and create a wave in the bridge that you could watch come toward you and then go under your feet and lift you up a foot or two as it passed under you, it was quite a thrill! The tram used to run at the time and you could take it down to the river in the morning and fish all day if you wished and then take the tram back up in the evening. What a place!

[@CaddyOnRoute]

Beautiful photography, Russ! We were just there walked the RGB on July 28th this year. Sorry we missed you. Would have said hi 👋 and took a selfie with you!!! ❤

[@rvertv]

Very cool!

[@susanwarriner9131]

That was a fantastic video ! Such beautiful scenery! Thank you Russ😊

[@Az_VanGo]

Love to visit Colorado in the summer! But winter is a different matter. Ha ha. Thanks for the video, it was great! And I’ve seen a few things I missed on my travels. We rode our RZR over the Continental Divide on a Polaris sponsored trip out of a dispersed camping trip close to Taylor Lake. Was really fun. St Elmo’s and Pitkin were awesome.Thanks again Russ!!

[@earllutz2663]

My second comment on this video Russ. Again this scenery is just beautiful, but at 74, I believe that I will leave the rapids, for the younger people, but I might enjoy a more leisurely ride, on a calmer river, with no rapids.

[@josephkeylich9552]

At 71 I'm with u on that.

[@lanceshipman9362]

The rails you saw at the Royal Gorge Bridge are the remains of a slant railway that used to take tourists to the bottom of the canyon where you could overlook the rail line. There is an interesting rail bridge that is hung from the side of the canyon. I took it to the bottom in the 1970s. There was a fire that damaged it and they have never repaired it.

[@lyleme1951]

Awesome video Russ.... Thanks for always taking us along !!!

[@jeanettebrown6060]

Hi Russ, wow ! Thanks for letting me take this trip with you over the Gorge. Carry a ziplock bag with a nice cold wash cloth to cool your face. It helps. Take care. God loves you and so do I. 🙏🏻

[@okiejammer2736]

What you won't do for your viewers! Bet ya slept great that night, but what a pricey ordeal. Here's a little bit to offset some of the bridge cost AND THANK YOU for saving me the trouble of going there myself. Nope.

[@thomascampbell1267]

Great set of videos. Put this high on my bucket list. This is definitely one of your best set of videos.

[@COMtnPilot]

Hey Russ! GOTTA LOVE COLORADO! As I mentioned before, I spent many years in Colorado as a Pro Ski Patrol and Firefighter, and loved every minute of it! Had to leave to take care of Mom for a few years. Now that she’s passed, I plan to get back to God’s Country! I really do miss it! Gonna follow you all the way through Colorado and beyond. Great vid and content! God Bless, Brotha! 😎🇺🇸

[@peterwaroblak166]

Thanks Russ you saved me $35. I remember watching a documentary about the last run of a steam engine heading west on that line, it follows the river up towards Leadville then it ended up on the the line that follows the Colorado river, toward Utah.

[@snowbirdgardener]

Colorado native, here. My second favorite place on earth, Salida to Canon City!

[@lesliegriffith9830]

My family was there in 1964 and took the incline down to bottom of canyon. I don't think they have it anymore. Then again in 1978 when they had the sky ride. Haven't been there since. Sure is expensive now and alot more to it. Doesn't look like you can drive on the bridge anymore. I did back in 78. Kind of scary. Thanks for the memories❤

[@kt-fl6ps]

Another beautiful trip. I love all the different viewpoints you offer with your selection of cameras. safe travels.

[@larryjohnson6398]

Like the longer video great time. Also great view good job of great filming. Thanks for all you do.👍

[@marcthompson4063]

The vibration on that bridge is from the wind causing the cables to vibrate. it's the same on the Golden Gate Bridge. Love this channel.🌉

[@stephbrandenburg9957]

Wow! You’re really zipping along ! Hope I can keep up think I fell behind a bit !

[@stephend.mixell2042]

Terrific Russ very nice ride through that pass and the bridge was certainly worth seeing Another cool journey. Here in Pa it's been in the 80s really not bad for me. Well thanks for the ride along again. Take care.

[@callieduval3000]

Always an adventure riding along with you Russ thanks

[@shirleyearllina]

The Arkansas River was beautiful . Thank you so much for being a guide to places I never thought I would see .

[@RVFreeDa]

When I went to the Royal Gorge in the year 2000 with my friend we rode the car’s that went straight down to the bottom and back up. I was so scared on that bridge! 😂❤😅

[@emmawebb6955]

💚👋Now checking out this route of Colorado. No words except, having your camera's mounted on the van FABULOUS❣️🤗 💯👍💯👍SAFE TRAVELS

[@missymutt3046]

Always look forward to your videos. Thank you

[@milehighkit4725]

I remember crossing that in moms 61 Plymouth fury 🙂

[@panderson9561]

Way back in the early 80s we made a trip to Colorado. Ironically it was about this time of the year, first couple of weeks of August. We went through Monarch Pass working our way down to Farmington NM. I can remember standing at that Continental Divide sign, and it sleeted on us going through Monarch Pass. It was August and sleeting, we couldn't believe it.

[@FlourishingLove]

I'm really loving this Colorado journey! If I ever get to Colorado, with all of that beautiful scenery, I will probably pass on seeing that bridge for $35, now that I've seen it through your lens. However, these videos really make me want to go see Colorado. I've never been there, before. On my bucket list, now. Thanks for taking us along!

[@dorisbanathy3423]

Thank you Russ! Great video😊

[@rvertv]

You are very welcome

[@robertjensen3637]

awesome Russ, greeting from the Netherlands

[@mikeharrison4659]

Great video. That bridge is really expensive but thats the way everything is now. Should try the helicopter tour of the bridge, its great.

[@cameronkuhns2458]

If you are ever out this way again, there is a train ride you can go on that starts in Canon City and goes up the Royal Gorge Canyon under the RGB and stops at the west end of the canyon and then you go back into Cannon City.

[@susanweeres7915]

Ditto on the Royal Gorge Railroad! Best train ride I have had in a long time. You get on in Canon City and ride directly under the Royal Gorge Bridge next to the Arkansas River. The food was fantastic. So much fun, will definitely be going there again!

[@Squintintaratino]

Russ there is a train ride. Goes through the gorge. What a great experience and incredible adventures I had there when my son and daughter in law lived in lone tree outside of Denver. Loved the garden of God's too in Colorado springs. Keep the great videos coming sir.

[@bobbyallen7800]

The first time we went there we drove across the bridge.

[@jeffhudson1744]

we, the family were there in the mid 80s. we drove our vehicle over to the west. quite the experience.

[@bcbconklin]

Glad to see you made it back across that bridge Russ, before those 100 year old cables snapped, har har ahar 😂🤣😅

[@Charles53412]

Need to take the train ride through the gorge some time !

[@Seaniemac7]

Brilliant video Russ. I look forward to your videos every week. I`ll be heading to the states in 4 weeks and I`m looking forward to driving from Minneapolis to Fargo, Bismarck, Miles City, Billings and down into Yellowstone. On around from there to Jackson, Laramie, Cheyenne and up into Deadwood before heading back towards MInneapolis, again. I`m from Ireland........ Stay safe Russ........

[@CindyK53]

Totally awesome ❤

[@helenfritzie]

Such beautiful scenery on the roadways you travel! Thanks for taking us along and really love seeing places I have never been! Just wondering...can you not take the drone up higher over the mountains? Just curious at what might be on some of the mountain tops! 😊 Blessings and stay safe on the roadways and in the heat!

[@cfinstr]

Thank you Russ. $35.00? I will not be going there. You saved me a lot of time and money….

[@kathyhepler382]

Russ thanks for the awesome video 📸. I've never been there. Gorgeous scenery!!!! Safe travels

[@joemiles6917]

US 50 starts in the east coast at Ocean City Maryland, if my memory is correct.

[@ronaldhall2489]

Down here in Mobile Alabama it has been 100 plus for a month with heat index 110

[@emmawebb6955]

💚👋 Haven't been to Laughlin in years, thanks for great updates and footage 💯👍

[@goodoakpress]

Another amazing video. I lived in Colorado in the 1990s, but never made it to this part of the state. BTW, I do newsletters for my business and use Constant Contact. Not a free service, but a good product for the money and good customer service.

[@yawndave]

Hey Russ, I'm getting to this episode a little late, but it's still a great ride! I stayed in Gunnison a couple of years ago and my hotel room window looked straight out over Highway 50 heading out of town. Talk about an inviting view! The climb up and over Monarch Pass is really something--I think I prefer it to I-70. I've always wanted to get to the other side of the Royal Gorge but $35 was a bit much...so thanks for the virtual bridge walk and the fantastic views!

[@paulgordon9648]

Was out there in 1968 all of 12 years old then. We walked a crossed it and then drove a crossed it. Something to see. Don't think it cost $35 then. Another nice video, thanks.

[@RandiG63]

Just loved that drone footage you took 💕 way back when we went there and heard the price $$$ to “see” the bridge we walked right back around and saw everything we needed to for free😂.

[@markharwell11]

It was or maybe still is the highest suspension bridge in the world. Went there 50 years ago while visiting my Aunt and Uncle outside Salida.

[@pepinmax9762]

Hi Russ! My husband and I recently discovered your videos- we love them! I have listened to the music- on my way home- but there is other music you play in all your videos that is different. Do you know the name of it? It is beautiful. Thank you for your videos! We enjoy them so very much!

[@amyrose103]

I been there in 1983 it's still the same. Walked cross the bridge rode the tram down to the river.

[@johnenos356]

Kind of pricey, $89, but you can book a ride on the Royal Gorge Route Railroad. Comes out of Canon City and runs along the river and stops right underneath the bridge. you get a real closeup view of the river rafters that way.

[@sledawgpilot]

Thanks!

[@mariamcclanahan470]

I like the Royal Gorge in between Washington Oregon. Thanks for sharing though

[@briannave7326]

Another great video. Almost bought a house in Salida about 25 years ago, very nice area.

[@ceetee2021]

The Royal Gorge Train travels along the Arkansas River from Canon City, CO and under the Royal Gorge Bridge. It stops near Parkdale, CO and then returns to the station at Canon City. It's a wonder scenic trip. The train has dining cars where you can eat get something or drink or just relax and watch from inside. Or you can go outside and hangout in open cars with nothing to obstruct the view. You should try it sometime if you like trains, it only takes a few hrs and gives you views you won't get any other way.

[@ardathowens5716]

Russ loved this but gotta say i love black canyon more its fantastic and its free with you pass.😂😂

[@lannyfaulkner6697]

Thanks Russ... stay safe out there!

[@8626John]

Beautiful country, but I would pass on walking out on that bridge. I don't like heights.

[@terriquotskuyva4594]

Awesome video!! I just saw Adam The Woo was just there at the gorge! Too babe you did ride on the Gondola .

[@conniechamberlain1259]

Nice job your doing.

[@bobbyallen7800]

The highway is open my family went skying up there one Christmas in the 1990’s.

[@waynelangston863]

I love watching your videos! I didn't know how many beautiful places there are in the beautiful USA until l started watching the videos! I would love to travel the Great USA like you are doing! Keep up the good work you are doing!

[@jesscarey7666]

Fantastic video!! Thanks Russ!
