Thomas and Robby continue their journey west to California. After hiking in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, we headed on the scenic I-70 towards as we drive through the Rocky Mountains. Our eventual destination this time was Dead Horse Point State Park in Moab Utah, but before that we drove on the highest interstate in the country as we drove along I-70 in Denver. Along the way, we stopped in Vail, Colorado and Grand Junction, Colorado. Eventually we were driving next to the Colorado River as lightning in the distant clouds and rain poured around us.

I 70 begins in Baltimore, MD (specifically Woodlawn, MD) Discovered you guys during the pandemic. Brought me through some rough times. Thank you for all your efforts ☀️

[@queenofthesouth6832]

Watching from the UK - love this video - so peaceful! Pls keep making them!

[@inthehouse1960]

Welcome to Colorado. You're in my part of the world. My car caught fire in the Eisenhower tunnel. Glad you made it through unscathed. Great content. Thanks for sharing.

[@ds3333]

I went to Vail, CO back in the mid 90's to ski for 4-5 days. Worked out for months beforehand, but I still felt like a truck had run over me the morning of the second day. It was better by the forth day. Get that beautiful dog some rough greens. 💕

[@AJKPenguin]

The Wendy's, a fitting appetizer to a great CO drive thru. Excellent footage of the UT thunderstorms.

Liking the retrowave Robby you did good on soundtrack again

amazing content as usual. I always forget that you guys somehow dont have over a million subs considering your content is very high quality and entertaining. very few channels do what you guys do

🦋 Really enjoyed the road trip with you guys, except for that water deluge! Honestly praying for all adventurers safety! Your team is the best in adventurers, camaraderie, & editing!

Glad you made it safely!

I feel like any of us that grew up in the 80s or 90s here in Columbus did the COSI/Wendy's tradition. I remember both fondly. I actually work a block away from where old COSI was. the first Wendy's is now an office for the catholic coalition of something or another

[@monikahanus9183]

Beautiful scenery. Love the Rockies. I remember Cosi. So cool. Thanks for the vid.

[@joshuapark1749]

I gotta say the music and editing and everything lately with this and last video is on point 👉 loving it.

Thank You Thomas and Rob for sharing, I came on a Solo trip in Jun 2022, through Colorado, Utah, Interstate 70, I was solo driving and wasn't able to get a lot of footage, this brings back Great Memories on my adventure last summer. I am a New Subscriber, and have just begun to watch Adventure Archives, was hooked after the first time I saw....Peace Out ! Keep Exploring ! If you ever make it up to Mt. Shasta area, I live near by, there area a lot of non-promoted hiking areas, and would be honored to buy you all a beer or two (lol) at the Brewery in Mt Shasta City !

[@mntzmiles081]

Loved the ending. Editing skills have gotten way better, keep it up!

[@JarrettOriginal]

70 between Denver & 15 in UT is the most amazing and beautiful part of the US Highway system. Nothing can top it. Sad it was dark when you came off the Western Ridge, it's an incredible landscape, not much like it. From where you were, taking 191-163-160-89 to Flagstaff is an amazing drive as well, but you need the time to cruise it, you go past Monument Valley.

[@rorngsorn5272]

Colorado National Monument is breathtaking and so is Canyonlands. I hope your do hiking there one of these days.

[@yaqoobtabsu3362]

amazing

[@sharondavis8003]

Beautiful nature views but the lit tunnels & the lightning ⚡️ in Utah were my favorites. Great job. Want to see the rest of the trip. 👍🏻🙋🏼‍♀️

[@Samclarkp]

There is a sign inside the Eisenhower tunnel that marks the continental divide on I-70. After Vail, you'd already missed it by several miles.

[@marysweda2097]

Your dog is beautiful!! Goldens have an incredible disposition.. wonderful that you take her with you on your travels… just a thought.. have you looked into some sort of seatbelt tether/ security for her? There are some that allow for mobility but prevent her from becoming a projectile in case co a rapid stop.. just a thought. A lot of info in this out there and the options available.. we love a furry companions!

[@ervinslens]

Brilliant upload. That music suited that video gorgeously my friend.👌👌

[@stephenwarrington9719]

Gangster video guys! Totally reminds me of my first trip to Moab. Hits me right in the feels man.

[@skipandcherieadventures116]

Really enjoy the movies with you two…..Robby and Thomas…..they are shorter and hold my interest the whole time…..Sierra is a great traveling buddy too! By the way Thomas, you look more handsome with NO mustache! Dead Horse State Park is a neat place to explore.

[@davidjames513]

Drove that route across country back in 2005. The scenery brought back great memories, thanks

[@laflamablanca9161]

This is dope, I make that drive and stay across the street from that Wendy’s at the Marriott every Wednesday for work. Scary in the winter.

[@rusuethitayaba7458]

Nice to see you all together! Thanks for taking us with you in this beautiful road trip!

[@inthehouse1960]

Now that Thomas is in Colorado I hope you'll do more hikes here. I used to own an Earth Ship in Crestone so It was great to see you hiking in the Sangre de Cristos...but Colorado has SOOOO much to offer. Don't be shy! In fact, how about you do an entire series on Colorado. I'd watch it.

[@annerenta6950]

I will definitely be saying to the driver on my next roadtrip "I will make sure we get there safely through the power of annoyance" LMAO 😂🤣

[@johnbarns548]

Awesome road trip

[@lakaytvdadirock1336]

Thomas bringing back memories about COSI. I remembered going there on field trips in elementary school and YES that Wendy's, my grandfather use to take me there to get Frosties... Road trips with friends are the best. Thanks for taking us along.

Excited for another adventure. Glad to see clean shaved Thomas.

Robby, what camera settings do you use for the nighttime starry time lapses? Keep up the great content!

Really enjoyed

[@GhostTeamx]

Saw my house when you went though the Frisco dillion area

[@TheArtisticGardener777]

I think I70 starts right here in Maryland. We’re such a tiny state, we often get overlooked. Always love your original music, but have to admit, enjoyed hearing you rock some Epidemic! Someone said,”when I grow up, I want to be Adventure Archives!”. I’m thinking,”you don’t have to grow up to do that…matter of fact, that would be counterproductive!”. You’re adventures are the best!

[@vickibahls7587]

The area where east and west I70 were over and under each other, there is a hiking , biking path under it all.

[@hindustanastrology2948]

I wish I had a metabolism like Robby :P

[@bryanquick3349]

fries in the shake is very comfy

[@RoamingThePNW]

LOVE Vail! Spent a few nights there last fall with all the fall colors and it was so amazing. Great vibes. We did it the opposite way doing a big sideways U, Pueblo across Curecanti to Moab and then back using I70 and Vail/RMNP. Southern drive was better than I70.

[@justherb666]

This looks more like our cross country road trips from NY to CA. We've done 80, 90, 70 and 40 going both ways. The longest I ever drove solo was 12+ hours, 740 miles from NY to Sout Carolina. We did NY to Orlando driving overnight, but my wife and I split the driving. She works nights...

[@TheEthanEdge]

that Final Fantasy T-shirt is great.

[@kdavis4910]

I have to agree with Robby on this one Tan Pants. Make no mistake, through hiking is one of the hardest things someone could ever do and it's not a vacation at all, but through hiking all the way for me. It's starting to get pretty darn real that I leave on the AT from the southern terminus for my AT through hike in Spring of 2023. The people I chose to watch hike this year are summitting Mt. Katahdin and it makes me just a little nervous that I'm up next. Class of 2023. I'm way more excited though. It's taken years to train to hike that sort of daily mileage, acquire the appropriate gear, and save some money to hike.

[@underwriter53]

OMG, one of your video’s in an are I know and have driven! Other than Ohio and Kentucky!🙃 My brother lives in Vail. (Not rich by any stretch of the imagination! He does maintenance work for the hospital.) I’ve visited 9-10 times ? In the past 15 years. Safe travels, guys! 👏💕

[@laureno1172]

If you guys ever go to Monterey, CA go to Monterey fish house. A must go to!

[@laureno1172]

It would be a great post hike meal ;)

[@candacemeifert-polk7383]

Great drive guys through Glenwood Canyon.. after Glenwood a bit flat highway to Grand Junction then pretty scenery into Moab Utah . Love Thomas’ dog💕So pretty and great traveling companion.

[@TheBinoyVudi]

You cray cray people. Love you guys and love your work. Keep it alive my buddies !

[@lesliew87]

I think this is the way we went when we did our 2 week campervan loop from Denver! Except we stopped at Sego Canyon and Glenwood Springs on the way over to Moab (Arches/Canyonlands/Dead Horse Point) then we looped down to Ute Mountain Tribal Park/Mesa Verde and Great Sand Dunes back up to Denver. (My favorite vacation so far)

[@lesliew87]

Haha and my ACD mix hates smaller things with wheels! (Skateboards, etc)

[@NorthbyNorthwestAdventures]

I used to drive that thing three times a week trick is and what us locals do is when you hit the tunnel you hold your breath If you can hold it for the entire length of the tunnel going normal speed you are pretty good. I lived just down the street from where you guys got gas at the Shell in Fruita and I worked in Denver so I probably literally driven that a thousand times. That whole drive brought back some old memories.

[@AroundNJ]

What benefit did you get from holding your breath? I don't know many locals that would admit to that idiocracy. My family lives west of Denver and no one attests to doing that and admits there is a benefit.

[@NorthbyNorthwestAdventures]

@@AroundNJ no health benefit or any kind of benefit whatsoever its just a fun challenge.

[@ahm256]

Now I wanna go on a road trip. :)

[@captncid]

Welcome to Colorado, Thomas. I saw some footage of where I grew up in this video. Lol Hanging Lake may be worth checking out, y'all passed it while going through Glenwood Canyon.

I live in the Grand Junction area. So fun to see you drive through our part of the country, and to see your reaction to the area. Come back and visit the Grand Mesa and Colorado National Monument, Arches and Canyonlands AT THE VERY LEAST. The western slope of CO and into Utah has some fantastic desert hiking in the spring and fall. You have to see the Ouray and Crested Butte as well along with too many others to mention. Wherever you go next, I look forward to the video. Thanks for great content!!

When I'm getting started to like Thomas with moustache and he shaved it 😁 Anyway, I have fun watching this video.

Yo! When I was in 1st grade, I won a contest at my school and got to be one of five kids to go on a field trip to COSI. I haven't thought about that place in years...a vivid early memory, though!

[@AroundNJ]

What is COSI?

[@goodwolf152]

@@AroundNJ “Center of Science and Industry”. It’s basically a science museum located in Columbus, OH. I remember it being a fun place for kids, with a lot of cool interactive exhibits and activities.

[@kdavis4910]

@@goodwolf152 it was the Boston Museum of Science and the Boston Aquarium for me. That's before considering all the museums in DC, and idk if it's still the case, but admission was free in DC. I have seen the original Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Declaration of Independence. I will never forget it. I went as an adult in 2011 to DC.

[@terryhikes]

Wow I did this exact drive last fall - Indy to Moab and beyond. I recognized every part of your drive. Too bad you had the Utah portion of your drive after dark, it’s just as gorgeous as the Rockies! I mountain biked in Dead Horse Point State Park and overland off road camped in Moab, in my exact same Subaru Forester Sport you guys have haha.. I also made the further drive and backpacked Bryce Canyon and Zion Nat.l parks. Vaca of a lifetime!
