Oh, absolutely breathtaking, thank you! A lot of the time you don't get a sense of how actually steep these mountain grades are, but outside of Breckinridge you really captured it. About the only place in the US I haven't travelled is beautiful Colorado (outside Denver and the Front Range) so I've made up my mind I MUST go out there soon and one of the things I must do is travel that route you took in this video! PS: Guffey is SOME kind of town! Did one guy own all those 'antique' shops I feel bad for the guy who got stuck in that antique CocaCola machine!

You left the main road in both Fairplay and Guffey (great names) because you sensed they both had special character. Thanks for that. Amused by the gigantic sign atop the roof of the two story hotel in Fairplay and likely, myself, would have bought a T-shirt of Guffey at the antiques emporium that dominated the town's center. (You may not have seen the small sign advertising them but your viewers miss no detail)

Fantastic video, the background music really set the mood and atmospheric feel for the tour. Great job. The first half looked so like The Swiss alps and parts of Austria. I was half expecting the Von Trapp family to start singing the second half Brand USA kicked in, loved all those old farming shacks, and the Wild West style towns. Thanks for the tour.

Just a suggestion. on these driving videos, where you are just cruising through areas, it would be cool if you had informational text running after you show the name of the town. Maybe with information like population, income level, average age, crime rate, average home prices, etc. Thanks for taking us all along in your travels. Stay safe, my friend.

The drive through Alma was pretty cool. It’s like an American version of Bruge in Belgium; an old town frozen in time that’s been kept up fairly well. You should visit there when you get the chance, or watch the the movie In Bruge which captures the appeal and non-appeal of the town.

You know, I oftentimes wonder why some towns are so close together (relatively speaking, of course. I was told once is that is because they're historically spaced one's day travel on a horse.
I don't know if that's true or not, but it is something to chew on when you're traveling.

I really wish you hadn't driven through our once beautiful state, there are already too many people moving to Colorado ruined what we once prided ourselves with! Believe me when I tell you that the Colorado native people hate that people are ruining our state!

Love my homestate it is so beautiful here but unfortunately there is to many people living here now reach resulted in the increase of rent and lack of affordable housing. Alma is the highest town in America and Leadville is the highest city in America.

Why aren't you narrating this video, I would like to know what highways you were on, what towns you went through, what direction you were traveling etc. The scenery is beautiful but I have no idea how to follow your path which I would like to do.

The epitome of one man's junk (no, not that junk) is another man's treasure.
What a strange place for a stoplight, in the middle of nowhere!
Not the most attractive of drives you've taken us on, but I guess they can't all be winners!

Hi Lord Spoda
Thanks for the beautiful video.
Most scenic, most picturesque drive dotted with small towns. Music is very soothing matching with the ambiance. What's that collection of stuff on way, contrasting the natural surrounding

Bishop's Castle. You really missed it on this one. I realize that you can't hit everything, but it is a must see in that area. You were so close! Just south of Canon City, near Rye. Look it up. It is one of a kind in the world.

I'd like to respectfully request you include highway signs for the towns and miles to, and for the rivers and creeks too. I like to see as many travel details as I can. Thank you. Can't wait to see what you do to Salina, Kansas.

What a beautiful drive Mr. Spoda. I really miss driving over the road, the mountainous scenery throughout the entire country. When you've been around this country, you get to see what a beautiful country we live in.

Had no idea that Canon (Canyon) City was so big and so beautiful. I always thought it was just a one-horse town with a million prisons!
Anyway, thanks for the tour!

What a lovely Sunday drive, thanks. Brings me back to when I was a child in Colorado, often we would just get in the car and go. Just staring out the window.

I remember driving into Canon City one time from the east and there along the road was a coyote cleaning itself like it didn't have a care in the world.

One town you went through, Fairplay, is in an area known as South Park. That town is the model for the town in the cartoon series South Park.

Colorado has a very beautiful nature and judging by your videos there are few homeless people or you don't show them.
