Sorry to hear that

Since the 80s weve been going to Colorado through Alamosa, Creed etc.. This year our base camp will be in Silverton and will be taking this route for the 1st time. Beautiful. "Thanx Fer Sharing"

[@joshrandall5297]

My son and I rode that route on our way to Sturgis in 2010. Thanks for sharing.

Literally a week ago, my classmates and I all the way from Las Vegas (NV) were on this route recently for a mission trip. We rode on the Silverton train, went water rafting, and walked around the two towns. It was so much fun. Thank you for this video because it will really bring memories for years to come... :-)

[@mahfah7911]

I am taking my family there. Any suggestions on when to be there to see maroon bells and go on life? I mean we are coming from TX about 17 hrs drive. So we will be there by noon. I am afraid wont be much time left to see mountains. We have 2 days and 1 day is for train ride to silverton. Any suggestions on how long does it take to see those power of four mountains just for sightseeing? Not really hiking, i have 2 elderly ladies with me.

[@gmaneis]

This is an awesome video! I've ridden the tourist train, but have never been on the highway. Fantastic to see it! Thank you.

[@PolarizedMechs]

I took this route to Silverton when I was a kid, so this brings back some memories--especially seeing the Silverton train itself at 1:50! Awesome!

Most of this Highway is closed at this time due to a massive Wildfire, Purgatory, Tammaron, and many other places have been evacuated. June 2, 2018. God Bless You.

[@charlenenewby2131]

Needs to be slowed by 25% f focus on signs (if they’re present) at stops/pull outs.

[@tribetube]

Awesome video

[@lizmagu3189]

😬 Too fast and too blurry at times. Sorry, I usually enjoy your videos.

[@takemytrip]

Check out this version. I re-edited it at real-time speed. Still not the best quality - I need to re-drive some of these routes now that I have some 4K equipment. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWK0eo2OhLuKjLM
