[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Hey. That was adventures. Loved it. Blessings

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hi Betty Jo, we explore Ouray just a little bit more on our next video. Hope you enjoy it. Blessings, Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@robedmund9948]

Ridgeway Reservoir is a great place to park the RV and gives you access to Ouray, Telluride, Silverton, and Durango. Great drive, and LOTS to do!! Safe travels!! Box Canyon is a must and you can have beer at Mr. Grumpy Pants Brewing Co. afterwards!

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hi Rob, thank you very much for your comment and joining us! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@pamking8137]

We did the highway on motorcycles in the snow! Scariest drive of my life! Loved the falls in Ouray as well!

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hi Pam, after driving snow for thirty years and being on patrol in the mountains, no thanks!! Thank you for joining and sharing! That is definitely an exciting experience. Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@nicolachoate7098]

Ouray is one of our favorite places to visit. I’ve driven the million dollar highway many times, including with a Class A DP. With a diesel and engine brake, it was no problem-just like your trip.

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Thank you for joining us!! Thank you for sharing we will certainly be back! One of the beautiful places we have ever been! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@TheBorderHookups]

Love it guys! This is one of our favorite places to go and well worth the trip! So glad you made it there and were able to have this experience!! ❤

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hey Dave and Jacqueline, always good to hear from our favorite famous friends! Ouray is definitely on the top of our list of favorite places and deserves a return trip. We are currently heading to Vancouver Island🙌. Blessing to you both. We will see you in Idaho. 🙏🏼❤️

[@TheBorderHookups]

@@OverTheHillAdventures very nice! Have fun you two!! 🩷🩷

[@borntoroam68]

we were in Ouray and Durango last October. Beautiful drive! love Ouray

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Very beautiful! Thank you for joining us! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@raoulroberts2024]

Rhonda to Stan: you're so full o' beans! 😂 I'd love to tackle those stairs and that whole hike. Awesome, especially that part with the water powering through the rocks @ 20:00. Safe travels!🙏🏾💙❤️🤍👍🏾

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hey Raoul, wait till next week! Thank you for joining us! This was definitely on the top of best places. Ouray for the win!! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@PineGeri]

Yes did this road several times including on a motorcycle!

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Thank you for joining us! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@pipslife7874]

love that area!! I ahve been on it in a car, in F250 pulling 30ft bumper pull and with my wife riding o n the back of a Honda Goldwing!! it is a fantastic road. You will love Ouray!!!!

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

That is an awesome memory! Thank you for joining us and sharing! We love Ouray!!! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@janicedavis5216]

I visited Ouray on my last trip and loved it. Drove the Million Dollar Hwy leaving, pulling my teardrop camper. Was a little nervous but after driving Pikes Peak earlier in the same trip, it was a piece of cake. Thank you for sharing and reminding me how great my trip was too. Still unable to travel due to caring for my dad so watching your videos give me so much pleasure. Stay safe.

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hello there Janice! So glad we could help you reminisce about your trip to Ouray ❤️ It was a dream destination for us and so surreal to be there. WOW, kudos to you for driving with the teardrop in tow!! 😅👏 Funny, we ended up driving Pikes Peak a few weeks after this drive so stay tuned! You are honoring your father by taking care of him. He is blessed to have you in his life. I (Rhonda) watched my mom do that for both her parents and it was hard on her emotionally and physically, but she wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. We feel very encouraged and blessed to know we are bringing you joy through our videos during this difficult season in your life. Thank you for sharing with us. God bless you and your Dad. ~ Rhonda and Stan

[@wcraig]

I would not enjoy it while driving it but I want to drive the Million Dollar Highway. I am not a fan of heights at all but there are some things that one must do to see the beauty we have here in America. The Box Canon Falls trail looks amazing as well. Colorado is on our list to visit and explore.

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hi Bill, thank you for joining us! It was an exciting and beautiful drive. Ouray was incredible!! We woke up, looked out our bedroom window and see the waterfall above your head. Wait till our next video. A view of snow peaks Rockies while off roading to the Yankee Boy Basin. It was the perfect time to be there. See you next week! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@karlamartins2761]

We have driven the Million Dollar Highway in a car only so far! Great job Stan. We love Ouray also. The Box Canyon Falls are gorgeous.

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

We know Bruce would have no problem towing the new fifth wheel on it. 😄 It’s probably a little scarier for a passenger. It was a little nerve wracking for me I can’t lie. 😅 We even went back and drove it with the truck the other direction just to get the full effect 😂

[@airstreamer]

"Oh there's a tunnel..." lol. We love RV Trip Wizard too. It is great that it won't take you anywhere you can't fit! Beautiful scenery. 'It'll be fine" Famous last words. lol! The scenery though. OMG. You were in the middle!! Well, you made it through. YAY! We have never driven that, not sure we ever will. Thank you for showing us! "Switzerland of America" Looks like an intense hike, up hill. That was so frightening to look over. Well done Rhonda and Stan! Crazy how powerful water is! - Jim & Michelle

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hello Jim and Michelle, we hope you are traveling well. Ouray is definitely one for the bucket list. Someday we would love to return. There is a dirt road you can take from Ouray to Telluride. It was all snow in when we went. We went as far as we could. Next week’s video should be fun. Blessings, Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@puceater2311]

Great video! Good job👍🏼 if you can drive that you can drive anywhere:) We left our Class A in Ouray and took our toad to Silverton, loved that drive, just inctedible, we enjoyed staying at the Ouray Riverside Resort last May, great views in every direction. Safe travels!

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hi Jim, Sounds like we just missed each other. We were there at the end of May! Ouray was a highlight of this past trip for sure! Glad you got your experience the beauty first hand 👏~ Rhonda and Stan

[@camperbum]

Pretty nice views, the road we take down to the lake, has no shoulders and width is just enough to get real close to the opposite traffic. Your truck did good going up, I would go up it, once...

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hi Dave, the road next week was a lot of fun. My truck was the biggest vehicle out there. Thanks for joining us again! Glad to have you aboard. Stan and Rhonda❤️🙏🏼

[@camperbum]

@@OverTheHillAdventures I've been there, I used to drive trucks, and many times I would be holding up traffic going up hills, I would pull over whenever it was safe, most people don't understand why you can't do the speed limit lol, you 2 be safe out there, I don't want to run out of videos.

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

😂 No chance of us running out of videos to share anytime soon. Just hit the road this morning for season 8. Headed up to Washington then to Canada for the first time!

[@camperbum]

@@OverTheHillAdventures You should follow the Columbian river Upen to Canada, Wenatchee, theses are areas I used go alot, to pick up apples, potatoes, look up Mosses Lake Washington. Coming from Seattle going east on 90 is pretty cool. Ok I look forward to y'all next video

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

We always appreciate the tips!! 👍

[@DebraBreen-uo5ls]

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hi Sammy, thank you for joining us! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@liketheresnotomorrow]

I was so happy to see your video pop up. We are headed that way in a few weeks and haven’t decided if we’ll drive the hwy. we are a 44ft toyhauler and I have some serious roadside drop off anxiety while towing. lol We could fit the tunnel but at what point does it start feeling tight? Maybe we go part of the way. lol

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

You’ll be fine!! 🙌. Huge semi-trucks go on the Million Dollar Highway. We have a wide body. We were wide and tall. Especially if you are coming from Durango. Your exhaust break will definitely kick. Just take it nice and Slow before the tunnel it gets a little tight. Slow is Pro. Thank you for joining us! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@lorieg53]

Omg! Yes we would do that drive. What a beautiful hike to the waterfalls. I love the site next to the creek. ❤ Love goofy! Molly looked pretty close to the edge 😮 Love the video guys! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hi Lorie and Jeff! Box Canyon was such a surprise for us. We had no idea what to expect and what a treat!!! Stan took Molly up there without me, lol!! 😂 I was shocked when I saw the footage for the first time a few days ago 😱 Thanks for hanging out with us tonight!!

[@patleonard2884]

Great video, views, and information! Thank you for sharing!

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hi Pat, thank you for joining us again! That Goofy Cartoon is the one they showed Stan in Driver’s Ed. Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@patleonard2884]

Haha...oh, the Goofy cartoon...brings back memories!

[@Cptstokes]

I lived on my stepmom's ranch in Montrose and I drivin Red Mountain in all weather , sun, rain and snow. In the spring thaw, there always a few cars that got swept away from alliances.I cant count how many times I'v driven that road, maybe 40 or more? Oh yea and 6 time in a simi hauler a 45' Wilson cattle trailer!

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

That’s awesome thanks for sharing. I actually thought the road was pretty good. You just have to take it slow and beware of other drivers. Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@ShooterReadyStandBy]

Looks awesome. So dropping the air bags lowers the front of the trailer, but it also raises the rear of the trailer.

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

@@ShooterReadyStandBy true but the back of my rig is 12’ 9”” the front air conditioner was at 13’7”. However, now we have a low air conditioner on the front. We are at 13’2” now and can fit in our RV garage. 🙌

[@allenmcturner]

Hi Rhonda and Stan, love your videos. Lots of good information and I enjoy seeing all of the places you adventure to. I watched the video on the x braces and used the code so thanks for that ! I have a 2018 grand design 303rls. Love the trailer. My question is seems like maybe if I remember from one of your previous videos you have the standard size AC unit on the front of your rig. I only have the one unit on the back and I’m thinking about adding a unit on the front, but I can’t decide if I want to go low profile due to clearances of bridges or standard size. Is this the first time you’ve ran into an issue with the low clearance on a tunnel or bridge ? What’s your thoughts between the two differant size air conditioners?

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

@@allenmcturner Hi Allen, I’m pretty sure even with the normal size Coleman Mach 15 you won’t be more than 12’9”. If you measure the front of your rig add 14 1/2 inches. We love our new low profile Coleman Mach 8 Signature Series for the front. We are now at 13”3”. However, I think you will be fine with a standard air conditioner. Hope this helps! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@walterrafolski5662]

Stan the man, no worries! Slow motion is a lot better than the faster speed video. Not sure I would drive it with the Rv in tow. That was definitely a steep climb and I would need oxygen. Very nice video!

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hi Walter, thank you for joining us! It was extremely beautiful and the drive was not bad at all. Probably because Jesus had the wheel. 😂. Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@melodygrandinetti5016]

Stan can I ask why you are holding your shift , I tow with my tow half mode so it shifts and uses the exhaust breaks for me

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

It’s funny you saw that!! I just hold it for no reason. Great place to rest your arm.😂

[@jimdrumstas4191]

Silverton is awesome. They put on the best fireworks show on the fourth of july

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hi Jim, That’s good to know! Thanks for sharing with us. 🎆 ~ Rhonda and Stan

[@stuwardw]

I would do the drive, but if possible not while towing. I'm too much of a flat-lander for towing. Great video as always, thank you!

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hi Stuward, thank you for joining us this week! The drive was pretty easy slow is pro. The exhaust brake made a huge difference. I was expecting much worse. The height issue was our big concern. Not anymore we know we can blow right through. Blessings, Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@thesandsie13the2nd]

i would. it's kind of like the Rogers pass portion of Canada's transCanada highway.

Hope you enjoy our videos

[@robertcolpitts4534]

Well, how did y'all like the "Million Dollar Highway"? 😎 We've been over that highway at least a dozen times traveling to the Grand Junction/Fruita area or coming back to our home in New Mexico from Odgen, UT after visiting Dottie's folks. Dottie had 2 aunts, an uncle and several cousins that lived in the area. We had a big family reunion (hers) there in 1995. The trip over US 550 never gets old. The scenery is breathtaking each and every time. You should stop in Silverton at least once. Yes, it's a bit touristy, but the scenery is worth it. Besides, Rhonda can add a new ornament to her collection. 😉😂 That 13 ft 7 in tunnel marker is the clearance on either side. Big rigs take this highway all the time, and they go right thru without scraping. Y'all would have made it just fine! If y'all are ever back up that way, Colorado SH 145 through Dolores and Rico over Lizardhead Pass to Telluride is another super spectacular trip. It drops you out at Placerville, and you turn right to go to Ridgway. We'll be in Munising next Wednesday but will try to catch your next video. We'll be thinking of y'all while up there enjoying the UP and eating those humongous gringo empanadas (aka Pasties)! Safe travels, and God bless y'all! Bob and Dottie

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

@@robertcolpitts4534 Hello Bob and Dottie! How fantastic your upcoming UP trip is going to be 👏 We look forward to hearing about it! We believe you told us you have been there before. Are you going to see Pictured Rocks? Sunset cruise maybe? 🤔 😉 Stan drove the rig like a pro and it didn’t seem to bother him one bit. I was a little nervous because it’s just so unforgiving. One little mistake and down you go. 😩 No guardrails is a weird feeling. We did go back and drive it the other direction and back in the truck just to experience it. A dozen times?! You are so right about the views, breathtaking 😍 I imagine it would never get old. We will have to make it back to Silverton for my ornament 😂 Funny you bring up Ridgeway, we actually rode our bikes from the campground in Ouray to Ridgeway! Thanks for the tip about the road to Telluride! Another thing we will save for next time. We had hoped to go with friends when we arrived in Montrose, but just didn’t make it. Next time 😜Are you already on the road? Enjoy your trip! Safe travels and be sure to try the Apple Pasty 🍏So good!! ❤️ Rhonda and Stan

[@louissantoscoy6461]

Would like to know where you fueld up with diesel? Ease of in and out with large rigs. We might be taking that route next week as we head up to Vega state park. Thx

@@Bamaonthetrail the Duramax Turbo Diesel. 2022 Chevrolet 2500 HD Z71. It’s a beast totally love it!!

[@k-mparker]

NOT with our 48 ft long toyhauler!!! We have driven our truck through there several times, which is a LOT more pleasurable and enjoyable. Plus, we were able to pull over numerous times and take pictures and do a few short hikes. Could I tow the 48 ft long RV thru there, sure, but my wife would be a nervous wreck!!! 👍😃🍻

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

I don’t blame you. We thought the road was fine. We were more worried about the height. Thank you for joining us! Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️

[@artfisher1615]

Durango to Ouray should be better. We drove it the other way and my wife felt like we were going to fall off any second.

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hello Allen, thank you for joining us! I’m pretty sure if you get a standard air conditioner you’ll probably be at 12’9”. What I would suggest is measure the top of your rig in the front. Then add 14” inches that would be your height with a standard air conditioner. With a low profile add 8 1/2 inches. I’m pretty sure the Reflection height is not as high as the Influence. The standard Coleman Mach 15 is much cheaper than the low profile which cost us about $2,500. Hope this helps. Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼❤️
