This 4x4 Trail Lead To The Most Epic Campsite In Colorado

This 4x4 Trail Lead To The Most Epic Campsite In Colorado
I ventured out solo with the Fj Cruiser into the Colorado mountains. I found what I think may be one of the most epic campsites I have ever come across. Awesome trails, 360 degree mountain views, hail, rain, sleet, and rainbows. Join me as I sit on top of the landscape, capture the sunset, the stars, and dream of what's to follow. This was an absolutely awesome adventure!

I rarely comment on overlanding videos but I have to say this one is exceptional. I like what you’re doing here.

[@IndependenceOverland]

I really appreciate that Lee, thank you!

[@keyser1812]

Wonderful story telling, beautiful photography and a lovely campmate too, thank you.

[@IndependenceOverland]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@davidbeezley6161]

I really enjoy your videos and really hope you stay with Toyota. I’m excited to be seeing CO for the first time in three weeks! Never thought would see it live. Stoked. Also enjoyed your trip to the Ozarks. That’s where I am.

[@IndependenceOverland]

Bring your Maxtrax! There will still be a fair bit of snow in some areas! Be careful out there and thank you for your support!

[@davidbeezley6161]

@@IndependenceOverland will do! So stoked for this adventure and eager to see more of yours!

[@jailbreakoverlander]

That dog is mighty handy with a camera

[@IndependenceOverland]

Haha she definitely is!

[@scotjoubert9924]

You did find the most epic campsite! Oh my wow! That one is my new fav! Very nice Tyler.

[@IndependenceOverland]

Thanks Scot! Sorry for my late response, I’ve had my nose to the screen trying to get last years videos done.

[@johnoneal7057]

You really do put out some of the highest quality videos...especially bc you do so many of them solo....keep it up, can't wait to see where the taco takes you

[@IndependenceOverland]

Thanks man I appreciate it! I am SO looking forward to this new truck!

[@Jaxon9859]

Man I felt that one. Amazing video. I live in Colorado and this has inspired me to go find a spot like that with my pup. Love the channel.

[@IndependenceOverland]

Thanks man! 🙏

[@970zfinest]

Where is this southern Colorado? Looks like its around telluride

[@chadbrandonstreet]

Goodness. This was an incredible video! As always, cinematography and voice over is spot on, Music seamlessly accentuates but never distracts, and the location... epic. Making me want to start planning my summer adventures! Thank you for sharing it with us!

[@IndependenceOverland]

Thanks for watching man! The season is almost here!!

[@baileylittle5170]

Definitely an amazing campsite! Such a good chill video

[@IndependenceOverland]

Thanks buddy!

[@spindrift2719]

This was one of the nicest campsites I have seen so far . I’m loving the drone footage puts it over the top .

[@IndependenceOverland]

Thank you I appreciate it!

[@user-ni3pu2zw8n]

Thank you for sharing! I hadn't been up there since i was in my teens. Went last summer, not a soul around!

[@jeffreyriedenauer9052]

Wow Tyler this spot is epic! I was tearing up a bit just watching it. When you were doing your narration with the view in the background it looked almost fake. I feel ya on the long trips that almost make you feel like you need a vacation from your vacation. Night time animal identification is always fun.

[@jscotangus]

Nice! Hard to beat 360° high mountain views!

[@IndependenceOverland]

So good!

[@chenglee7277]

Camped at 12000ft elevation in Colorado. It was AMAZING, words can't describe how it is up that high. Oxygen is noticeably lower up there lol. My whole crew was huffing and puffing just doing light work. Core memories though, can't express that enough.

[@IndependenceOverland]

Yeah it can be incredible. Some people can get headaches though, so its wise for out of staters to be prepared to leave or have a little bottle of oxygen if needed.

[@Iamtheoverlander]

Hunting for the perfect camp spot is so much fun.

[@IndependenceOverland]

It’s the best! How is your adventure going man?

[@Iamtheoverlander]

Been on pause, needed to reevaluate, but I can’t wait to get back out and hunt for good camping. ❤ I wish you incredible journeys this year bud.

[@daireusmann2251]

Great video and campsite. You are a large part of my inspiration to buy a 4x4 and start exploring around with my boys. Can't wait for this summer to do our first offroad camp adventure. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing your new rig.

[@IndependenceOverland]

Yes! We all need to get outside more! I appreciate you watching! The new truck is going to be incredible! (I hope anyways!)

[@NathanKingOverland]

Fantastic video! Loved that trail and the camping spot even more.

[@IndependenceOverland]

Thanks man!

[@krismiller5474]

Truly glorious 🎉I hope my FJ adventures glean such beauty and powerful surrounds!

[@jakelatham]

Had lunch at this very campsite late last summer. Absolutely gorgeous, and you did it justice.

[@Arill0]

Mind sending a DM to let me know the general area? I’m local to CO and would LOVE to stay there for a night.

[@optimus163]

@@Arill0Its not as isolated as you may think. Popular place in summer and fall.

[@IndependenceOverland]

Thanks for watching bud!

[@SandyCats]

Best solo camping video I’ve seen.

Thank you my friend!

Wonderful video as always.

[@joemurphy5769]

You are living the friend! Thank you for all the very cool content!

[@wesleysalley9512]

What a view!! I love this area!!

[@GirdlerFamilyOverland]

Definitely not too many time lapses! Your videography is impeccable and I think you’re right that has to be the best campsite in Colorado.

[@IndependenceOverland]

It was incredible. Apparently it’s normally a zoo and I just got lucky with people not driving through. I thought I found more of a secret spot.

[@Norm1212]

Heavily traveled area, surprised you were there alone. Love OnX for the aspect maps during winter but sometimes wish the sharing wasn't there.

[@TheEarthwinders]

My one experience with mountain lion eyes in the dark ended up being a neighbor's dog laying in the woods watching me. Really had me going when it starting running towards us. lol. The brain is our own worst enemy.

[@Live2dayWanderland]

Great video brother, love the views, the campsite, and of course seeing old girl all cuddled up in her blanket! Thanks for another good one

[@IndependenceOverland]

Thanks man! Blue is getting really old and slowing down quite a bit 😭. I’ll see you soon man, Moore will be here before you know it!

[@Live2dayWanderland]

I understand, its hard, the senior girl dogs are some of the best. I miss our 2 older husky girls, taking care of them as they age becomes so much a part of our daily routine. It is hard watching them go through all that. Can't wait to see you guys and her@@IndependenceOverland

[@sonsoflibertyoverland]

wow that spot was incredible. Glad you found it and got to share it with us.

[@IndependenceOverland]

Thanks bud! Since posting, I’ve learned it’s pretty rare to have this are to yourself. I guess I got lucky!

More coming up!

[@rondre3]

Nice! The kind of spots you search for.

[@IndependenceOverland]

One of the best for sure!

[@amorton94]

What a gorgeous area indeed. I don't know why I am looking for this area on gps/maps, since I don't have a vehicle that I would take it on, but it's a fun little activity nonetheless.

[@IndependenceOverland]

Haha its an online treasure hunt!

[@amorton94]

@@IndependenceOverland It really is and I find it quite enjoyable honestly. I've found quite a few spots from KZbinrs. Not that I've been to a single one of them, and I just learned that apparently I didn't have them saved to a google earth account so I lost a lot of them, but still a fun exercise.

[@aidancarlos5844]

I know you dont share locations, but could you maybe share the reagon, northern southern northeast southeast, etc. im so curious

[@IndependenceOverland]

🤐

[@leehoese4337]

I really like the foot print of your awning, what brand/model is it?

[@IndependenceOverland]

Alucab all the way!

[@Echo22WC]

I need to get my FJ out west eventually.

[@johnstabs]

Is that the Yellowstone soundtrack piano version at around the 15min mark?

[@IndependenceOverland]

Not sure, unless that show uses the same royalty free music service I do.

[@AsterixmGame]

Some of the shots dont even look real and thats why Im glad im also in colorado cause i know it is. I am curious though, you mentioned the new vehicle will be able to stay out longer than the FJ, are there things you have found about your rig that kind of hold you back versus having like a tacoma or 4runner?

[@IndependenceOverland]

Yes, the Fj is just small. My trips have gotten bigger. If I didn’t have a dog taking up 2/3 of the rear seat area, I would be a little better off but the rear doors aren’t the greatest for accessing things. I need more access to my camera gear. I don’t want switching camera lenses to be as big of a hassle as it currently is. I’ve got stuff piled on top of my pelican that holds the camera gear. A new truck will allow more water, which will allow for nice showers out in BFE. That’s a big one. Having a long hot shower can make a huge difference and I just don’t have space for water. And a space I can sit and stand in that is separate from the cab. I love being in nature, but after a week or so the road you just don’t want to be over taken by bugs or blowing sand. Having at least some sort of space to be inside of that can be heated or cooled, and bug free, will leave space for a little bit of recharging. So it’s mostly just having more space for organization. I really don’t plan to carry much more than I do currently, I just don’t want everything piled up.

[@AsterixmGame]

@@IndependenceOverland No that’s completely understandable and I get it. Sometimes a nice shower isn’t just to get clean it’s a morale boost as well. You also dont want to get rid of your adventure buddy just to have more room, it would make you both sad, Im sure blue loves going out and I know you love having her. Either way Im excited for the new truck, and Im glad i could learn a bit from you.

[@IndependenceOverland]

@@AsterixmGame yup, no way in hell Blue doesn’t come along. The very reason I wanted a double cab truck is so she can have some open air freedom for her last years with us.

[@DJTheGX]

You gotta take me here!

[@IndependenceOverland]

Not bad, eh? 😉

[@allendavis7164]

I think I found the most epic overlanding video on KZbin

[@IndependenceOverland]

Thanks man! That’s a big statement!

[@Baebon6259]

given the price hike and the clunkiness of GAIA lately...I may consider OnX

[@IndependenceOverland]

OnX has come a long way. Gaia used to be my favorite option but it hasn't been a reliable app for me for several years now.
