Admittedly, I've never traveled this highway, nor the one that I'm about to talk about, though I'd SORELY like to do both. AED, are you aware that Trail Ridge has a twin It is called the Beartooth Summit Plateau Scenic Highway, USR 212, its Southern/Western end in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming Sector, and proceeds through Lamar Valley and its Bison Herd, a good starting/ending point for a possible video of yours. It leaves the Park at Cooke City in Montana leaving Wyoming, and meanders back and forth through these two states before settling into Montana, where the bulk of the drive is at its climax through an extremely similar above timberline alpine tundra venue, to that of Trail Ridge. The Beartooth Summit Plateau is roughly 1K' lower than Trail Ridge, but it's far more expansive, many, many acres of this flattish to rolling terrain, with the peak tops looking little more than hills as you drive closely by them. Perhaps then, you're at ELEVATION, for a good 15 miles or so. You drop down quite a lot through some interesting hairpins, and leave the canyon, which looks a lot like Switzerland, Austria, or Southern Germany to me, and end up in Red Lodge, Montana, near the maw of the canyon. Red Lodge could be the other terminus. Why not make it a round trip "Hang out", with the bison in Lamar Valley, if they're near/upon the highway; that should spice up this. .. and any Western video of yours.

From treeline to above treeline(no tree, then back to treeline(must be near 11000 feet in CO. It is so serene, majestic, and magnificent. From 37th to 54th minutes, it feels like the America's version of Furka Pass of Switzerland. The Trail Ridge Road RMNP would easily be the best scenic drive in US. Thank you for sharing with us such a beautiful road.

Thank you for the excellent video tour of the road from Grand Lake to Estes Park. This is exactly the area where my Arvid's Treasurer, A Rocky Mountain Adventure novel takes place. It's nice to see how the area looks 50 years after my time in Colorado.

I enjoyed using this video for a virtual run. I’ve been on this road hundreds of times including on bike. I also like how you take the time to seamlessly show the views to the side. Well done!

beautiful drive, but is there an alternate route, there us no way I could drive on through those cliffs, with no guard rails, I just want to visit the little town in Estes

Thanks for sharing! Rocky Mountain is one of my favourite places on Earth. today is 10 years since my first visit. can’t wait to see it again.

We were just there last weekend with my whole family. I am still in awe watching your video. Well done in capturing the complete loop.

I go to RMNP all the time. If you go there, take gear that you could live through a snowstorm for at least a day or two.

thank you for this, i'm driving it next week and I wanted to make sure it wasn't too scary.
reply

I haven't been to Rocky Mountain National Park in over 10 years. Hoping to visit soon.

Take gear you could live through a snowstorm for at least a day, even in summer.
