I brought my dog with me on an adventure to the Colorado Rockies for a month while we lived and camped in the teardrop camper. We endured vehicle problems, being stranded, bad weather, scary mountain shelf roads, and long travel days. One of our best trips to date!
This is the full length version of the 4 episode Colorado series. It has been re-edited with additional footage, maps, a new voice-over and a super cool ending you don't want to miss! Thanks for watching!

I've had 3 jeeps....NEVER AGAIN!! Love my 4runner!!!!
Not ready to give up on my jeep yet! Thanks for watching!
Just traded in my 2021 Wrangler. In the last 6 months it had dropped mpg from 20-21 mpg to 15.5- 16 mpg. Had some electrical issues come up too. At least I had equity in it as a down payment on a used F150 4x4. I love this truck.
@@IAmWoodyHaha, that is the mileage I get in my Jeep Gladiator(15-16 mpg). Work from home FTW, and it is worth every gas penny to drive it, more fun than I've ever had in any vehicle, including my previous Wrangler. Now if I had an hour commute it might give me pause. ;)
@@houstonartz4697 I get 15 on the backroads and city in the F150, but it is a truck and I am good with that. That Wrangler wouldn't pull my new jetski above 4th gear (manual), on flat interstate. I spoke with the dealership about upgrading my gearing with an option that was available with the JL model and they said sure, but it will void the warranty. With the truck, I have no problems. I know the Gladiator would have handled it too, but I wasn't willing to take a chance on the other issues. I must say that I really HATE the electronic assist clutch on the Wrangler. The engagement point was constantly changing and it is an unnecessary "enhancement" to the clutch function.
Jeeps have been junk for a long time!
I am 72 and a lifelong long distance backpacker who is encountering health challenges. I'm investigating alternative ways to enjoy wild places and enjoyed your video.
Thank you!
I'm 68 an starting that journey of some health issues myself. I recently bought a 2024 Subaru Forester Wilderness and I'm setting it up to do some camping. Some light trails will be my limit so nothing crazy. I hope it all works out for you as you start this new time.
I myself am an avid long-distance backpacker, I’ve recently purchased a teardrop trailer that is heavily modified to go deep in the back country I also have a modified jeep, and it’s all new to me and I love it because I can go deep in the wilderness set up a base camp And go hiking with my dog all day hard-core all day long hikes and come back and sleep like a baby in the camper and even have an outdoor shower with warm water cook a nice meal it’s awesome I try to go somewhere every month if not a couple times a month.
I'm 52 and started adventuring solo in my jeep last year. I can recommend - just do it, don't wait ❤
52 here and I still enjoy and am able to do long distance hiking, but I’m considering adding a camper back on my truck and start doing some trips that way as well. I already have the truck and won’t need the added expense of a trailer.
I gave up my Jeep for a Toyota Tacoma 4WD and OMG! my ownership experience is through the roof! No more design issues that are ignored by Jeep.Just a wonderful overlander that always runs!
WOW!!! I live in Colorado and was blown away by your video footage in the Rockies....and your knack for having the perfect music choices that enhanced the footage....i especially loved the music choice when in the Collegiate Peaks.....impressive! Jesus loves you and blessings on your journeys.
Thank you!
I feel like piano girl. Wow, what a great job you did. I live in Colorado too. I want to investigate more after watching your inspirational video. God bless you!!
@@suebeal4682 thank you 😁
Just so that you know .. me, my wife and 1st born son Derek , who is now 30 years old did exactly the same thing.. we drove out west and stayed in the Colorado Rockies ...near Colorado Springs ... we never went back east....only but a few times to visit family ..since then we have built our dream mountain home and live on 10 acres right behind Pikes Peak at 10,000 feet elevation.. Our journey started 31 years ago .. probably for the same reasons yours is starting now .. God Bless and enjoy your journey ..we absolutely love where we are and continue to thank the Lord for what he has provided .. luv watching your journey ....
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing and thank you for watching!
I get to live here in Colorado, in the mountains. So fortunate
I envy you!
Sorry that Colorado has gone Blue.
Ok then, Jeep is off my list for cross country trips. 😂
😂
Jeep is owned by FIAT
THE TRIP UP THE TRAIL TO SNOW COVERED TRAIL. REMARKABLE!!!
Never buy a Jeep. My cousin is a mechanic and said its a total piece of crap, even with regular maintenance. Ive heard this from so many people. I have a Tacoma and as long as you maintain it like usual, you’re golden for a long long time.
I’ve seen plenty of Toyotas breaking down on trails in videos when the Jeeps don’t. 🤷🏻♂️
Never get your car reliability information from a mechanic. They are mechanics all they ever see are problems. They don't see the tens of thousands of other vehicles that never show up at a shop for serious or major issues. That's like a doctor claiming there are no healthy people in the world because the people they see have medical problems.
Bought my 2015 JKU in 2020, multiple trips from Houston to Denver. Never any issues. I don't bash the heck out of it, but if I did, I'd upgrade the necessary components before I took those challenges. "Stock" won't handle extreme use...no matter the vehicle.
Jeeps make you get to know them piece by piece. 😂
@@sunshineandsmiles9668 na. Plenty of people never have issues with them. Like me. Plenty of people in Toyota FB groups, etc. have issues with their Toyota too. So idk 🤷🏻♂️ every brand can have issues while other people with the same brands never have any issues.
Car problems are sooo frustrating but glad you have your furry companion. They are such a comfort. She is very sweet.
Thank you!
I totally enjoyed your journey. Thanks for taking me along.
I have to say you handle it a lot better than I would have!!! I love your gentleness and laidbackneds and your demeanor!!!!!
Thank you!
I’ve had two Jeeps, Wrangler and a Grand Cherokee Limited. I would never buy another! Go Toyota! I’ve had a Camry, Tacoma, and now a Tundra. All three have been problem free.
Agree - Toyota Tundra is excellent
I concur with this Toyotas are the best
Had 2007 jeep Sahara, traded it in for 2017 jeep Sahara 4 Dr. Test drove it from Tucson to Prescott and back.No mechanical problems but it was noisy as hell, migraine hole trip. Fortunately CarMax has a 30 day return policy with no questions asked and total refund. Same dealer bought a 2023 Toyota 4runner Sr5, 4x4, 22k miles and its a dream. Rock solid car and planning a 6200 mile trip this summer. Even at 80 y/o life is still a journey even without a covered wagon.
I grew up in Colorado Springs, lived life away, and ended up in Indiana for the last 3 decades. Your video took me home to some familiar spots, and some I've always wanted to see. Very enjoyable!
Awesome, thank you!
Nicely done. I live in Lake City. Thank you for the portrayal of the Alpine Loop as something to take time to slowly enjoy. There is a growing trend to turn it into a racetrack which will ruin this special place for all.
Ssshhhhhh. Don’t tell people about Lake City…. Love it there!!!
What I love about this video: it’s real! This is great for folks that are new to the Jeep world and “over landing”… Another thing I like: You took out a stock Jeep and a standard teardrop trailer. Nothing over the top, only stuff that many people can actually afford in the real world. With some “off road” trailers topping out at $130k+ it’s nice to see that you can still go out and live with much less. It brings it down to a realistic level. I too am a musician (drummer) and have been all over the world, I’ve been on every inch of the roads you were traveling on, and it totally hit home! Thanks for the video!
Awesome!! 😎
Golly you just triggered all my post traumatic fear of car breakdown with this video. I would have turned around at the first breakdown.
Working through problems is all part of the adventure. 😁 Thanks for watching!
I throughly enjoyed that. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Introduce the DOG!
Well behave dog
He did at the beginning.
I clicked on this video expecting a review of the Nucamp RV. Nope. But what I was treated to was WAY better. What a nice, cathartic, experience. Subscribed!
Thank you! I do have some actual reviews of the NuCamp Tag on my channel as well 😁
Outstanding video. You took it to a whole different level. The scenery, the mountain scraps, the color and the Reality of what could go wrong. This is a true adventure video and you did a fantastic job on it. Thank you. Oh.....nice drone work too.
Thank you!
Stunning photos. I loved your choice of music. I found myself so engrossed with your whole video I was almost disappointed when I realized I was still in my living room. 😊
Awesome! I’m glad you enjoyed it 😁
I love Juniper's beard. Good thing your Jeep acted up before you got on those crazy mountain keep trails. Beautiful scenery. Hope to travel with my dogs in my teardrop once I get it. It's on backorder for two years🫤
Two year backorder? What model teardrop?
Nice work stitching different photographic perspectives and I appreaciate the calm of your narration. My wife calls this my ASMR. I subscribed.
Awesome! Thank you!
So glad to see you on the road. I started with an old Southwest RV. Now I'm a van gal. Expect all the problems. Remember all the amazing beauty. No regrets. Fellow nomad. 😊
😁
I’m a Colorado native of 53 years . Your video made me realize how I sometimes take this beautiful state for granted and how much I need to leave all the crap behind and get up to the mountains more often . Hopefully you come back and maybe explore the northern mountains . Colorado is dry however the northern mountain’s are not high altitude desert , totally different feel yet both have amazing areas to explore . It’s all even better with man’s best fried !
Vote Trump 2024. He does not care if you are a pothead or like to brew your own.
Well done. Thanks for taking us along on your adventure. Awesome!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Man this video is so accurate. We have a jeep Cherokee had it 3 weeks and had issues back and forth to dealership for a fix’s. Now fixed but starting to think we made a bad decision. But for now it works. Love the video and we enjoy Colorado just as much!!!
I’m not ready to give up on the jeep yet! Thanks for watching!
This video popped up in my recommended list and what a great one! This was simply epic! IDK your background or history with your Jeep but glad you pushed through all the adversity. Thank you for sharing this with us!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😁
I live in Colorado and off-road my Jeep a lot in the back country. If you’re ever out here contact Colorado 4x4 Rescue and Recovery. They’re a volunteer group with proper training and approval from law enforcement for doing off-road recoveries. I know a few of the people and they are all very well trained and do constant ongoing training and only use the best gear and proper techniques.
Beautiful video. Just the right amount of story telling and great music. Really enjoyed it!
This has to be one of the best videos I've ever seen on KZhead. Thank you for it.
Nice job on the full video! Thanks for sharing your journey once again!
Thank you!
Good job! Wonderful to experience my home state through the eyes of a newcomer! Over the years and as a Colorado campground book author, I have seen almost all Colorado has to offer, many times over. It is sometimes easy to forget how magnificent the Colorado Rockies are. Glad you enjoyed your time here and hope you return. There is so much more to explore . . . Happy Travels!
Thank you! 🙏
Same, I live in Southern CO and sometimes take it for granted.
Glad you were deciding to come to Colorado to visit the Rocky Mountains, it’s beautiful state and there so..much to see. Maybe when you can, visit Estes Park, Co. as well. My husband and grown son took a mini trip there back in 2018 or 2019, for 3 days and so..enjoyed it. We drove through the Rockies Mountain Nat’l Park, we loved it. Best like mini vacation we had. Enjoy your time here you and your dog.
@@sandradummer4726 Thank you!
This is one of the most beautiful builds I've seen.
Great video. Beautiful scenery and great drone footage. Thanks for taking us along for the trip.
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it!
Great video and look forward to your next adventure!
Thank you!
Great video sir. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
That was amazing. Thanks for bringing us along! Epic views!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing your amazing journey, through beautiful back country. Great editing! Juniper looks like a great travel companion.
Adventures/trips always have their challenges. That’s what makes them unique. The country is so breathtaking. Glad you had a good time.
So true! Thank you! 🙏
You don’t need your transportation to fail you to have a great adventure
This is an outstanding video. So good, that I am liking and subscribing!
Awesome! Thank you!
Great content! Love the drone footage! Well done!
Thanks so much!
I absolutely love the long videos. Very much enjoyed this one. Thanks!
Thank you!!
Just awesome.
Thank you!
This is one of the best videos I have watched! It was really nail biting for me in parts (I am scared of heights) Your pup definitely didn’t want in the jeep because of where you were going 😊. Great footage! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Best hour I’ve spent on YT in a long time! This is such an incredible, well made video. I can’t tell ya how much I enjoyed it. Thanks😊
Thank you so much!
Even though we haven't had much of a winter I still had that blah feeling until this video came up, I got to travel the rockies for a bit, great video as always!
Thanks TJ!
Just finished watching from beginning to end and enjoyed every moment. The wife and I have a 2003 wrangler and a teardrop that we take to remote locations as well. We will be going to the Grand Canyon and attending the overland expo in Flagstaff this year and plan on heading North to visit Antelope canyon and make our way back East into Southern Colorado with a bunch of stops and stays along the way. Subscribed and look forward to future videos.
Thank you!
Wonderful video! Your voice is easy to listen to. Music was perfect. Looking forward to the next one!
Thank you so much!
Great video! Thank you for bringing us along. Cheers and safe travels.
Thank you!
Great video Mike!!!!! Keep it up!!!!
Thank you George!!!
Your video is an amazing description of this area of Colorado. My husband and I have done virtually Jeep trail around the Ouray /Silverton area and we LOVE it!!
Thank you! I can’t wait to go back!
Ouray is the best!!
I have the same Teardrop Trailer, a dog, and recently retired. I just need to add the experiences to that list. Your videos were an inspiration. Thanks!
Awesome!!
Get a Toyota to pull your trailer 👍.
Really enjoyed that hour and six minutes full feature video. Even car troubles become part of the story. Good luck with your future endeavors!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I think what I like about this video is the build up to the Rockies. I had no idea you’d get into some of that terrain and beautiful views.
What an awesome video! Aside from the Jeep issues, it looked like an amazing trip! I really enjoyed your choices of music for everything, and the editing was excellent. Being a resident of Colorado, I know many of the places you went but haven't gone to a few of them quite yet. This is definitely incentive to get out there this summer! Bravo and thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The birds are magpies. One of the smartest birds you will encounter
Aren't they known as Camp robbers?
Those damn things get loud sometimes
Great video! Thanks for sharing! epic scenery!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved the video. Glad it worked out with your Jeep and your trip was a success.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great production quality. Outstanding 👍👍👍👍
Much appreciated!
Thanks for this video. You did a nice job with it I solo from New England out to CO annually. It's a long drive. Again, thanks for sharing your adventure. ❤❤
Thank you!
Thank you for this wonderful tour! I watched the whole thing👍
Thank you for watching!
Very nice video ,, well done . Being from Colorado and seeing his perspective on places I have been was awesome ! Great trip !!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thankyou for this video. I almost bought one 6 months ago.
Very nice video even with the jeep problems.
Glad you liked it!
What a beautiful film! Thank you for you gift of sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the idea of staying at farms and wineries. The journey is the adventure.
Great video! We stumbled on it via KZhead recommended Thanks, KZhead! We are considering a tear drop trailer for some adventures. Really enjoyed your journey
Awesome! Thank you!
Nice show. Very Awesome travels.
Thank you!
Enjoyed your video. Great footage of the Rockies!🏔️
Glad you enjoyed it
Great story and storytelling. Your narration reminds my of Flip Pallot. Loved his show and how he was able to bring me along on his adventures. Well done
Thank you!
What a beautiful journey. Colorado is a beautiful state. I traveled 10 months with a trucker from the east coast making to California.. Its amazing how small our world is and how big at the same time. I enjoyed the off road trips , but i don't know if i would have been brave enough on a couple of the roads you chose . I might have been the dog at that point that would hide in the camper. I have to say that once you got the Jeep truly fixed you were fearless.
Thank you!!!
We saw many jeeps that experienced vapor lock while trying to travel through the Rocky mountains in Colorado!!
Incredible video! Thank you
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent production! I was very immersed in your journey. I enjoyed your point of view. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You are not alone, 4 of my cousins own new jeeps and they all have monthly problems. Time for a switch. I love my Bronco sport and it gets amazing gas mileage. 38,000 miles and going strong.
May I ask what year Bronco Sport you have? Thinking about getting one. Thanks!
...and which motor ?
Reed Jeep outside of KC helped me and my wife on a road trip with my Jeep Cherokee.... long story short..... We were traveling from Minnesota and I had a issue I created, and ended up being a non-issue after they looked at it.
By the way, superb video work and voice over. You captured the awesome beauty of the Colorado Rockies very well. 👍
Much appreciated!
Very nicely done! Thank you for taking us on your adventure. May all your dreams come true.
Thanks so much!
Lived in Colorado since 1971 and will never leave! I have a campervan and mostly travel through the state because it's so amazing. Hiking the 14ers is a huge draw for me!!!! So beautiful and glad you enjoyed a small piece of what the State has to offer.
Thank you! I love it there 😁
WAS!!!!
Been here since 1979 and love it...Arvada is great
Lots of good hiking in Golden and Rocky Mt National Park
WOW! I thought I might skim through this video, but I couldn't stop watching it! This is the FIRST 1+ hour video I've ever watched on KZhead. GREAT JOB! And now I'm going to look into teardrop campers.
Thanks Mike!! I’m glad you enjoyed it 😁
Great video just found it by chance and I live in the West in Oregon state. I enjoyed the calmness and everything you had to go through with the jeep and later on in the trip. You did well and is a well edited and informational video all in one. You gained a new subscriber now and thank you for the video. Be well and happy travels.
Thank you!
Outstanding trip video--- well done!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I lost a very good friend on the road up Antero.....In the dead of summer. You got some balz bro. Her Jeep fell over 800ft. Her dog was ejected and was not found for 3 weeks...Highway 10 is the first road I traveled on as a child with my grandparents when it was dirt with cattle crossings on the way to Creede. For me Highway 10 is the most bittersweet road I have been on, depending on of course your direction of travel. Getting to Cedar Point and seeing the Spanish Peaks lets me know I am on my way home. Next time travel to North Clear Creek falls.
I’m very sorry for your loss.
02 sensor issues with Jeeps, seems to be a fairly common issue and I’m surprised none of those dealers had them on hand . I wonder if it might be a good idea to preemptively order a full set of sensors to always have on hand to whoop out at the dealership when they say yeh we don’t have any.
That’s a great idea!
Loved everything about your video. Great job! I subscribed.
Awesome! Thank You!
Oh wow. Thank you for this journey
Thanks for watching!
Relax. I own a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited 4/door. I have clocked over 90,000.00 miles with zero problems. I do my own maintenance and repair. I know enough to own some tools and online repair Manuel paid $89.99 for it. It is the same manual the Jeep Techs use at the Jeep Dealerships. I”m enjoying your trip footage and comments.
Thanks! Stay tuned, lots more coming!
What a mess! I'm so glad you're safe!
Thanks for watching Tom! 😁
Thank you for bringing us along on your excellent adventure!! I look forward to more to come. Loved the off roading!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I enjoyed and appreciated every moment that you shared...thanks
So glad!
I enjoyed watching your trip this morning thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
An absolute great video.. keep up the good work..
Thank you!!
My husband and I live on the Colorado High Plains on our farm….some of the places you camped we know and have hiked and camped. So glad you enjoyed your month in our beautiful state!!! Welcome back anytime👍
Thank you!
thisis a great video. im sorry about the jeep.... good luck. thanks for sharing this beautiful planet.
Thank you!!
Wishing you the best as you journey forward on new paths whether paved or unpaved !!
Thank you 🙌
Thanks for the video
Absolutely loved this presentation. I dream of this kind of adventure all the time. I might just do it some day.
Go for it!
I am so happy your adventure to Co was a success! Born and raised here and really enjoyed your video, I recognized those guys you met up with it they are true wheelers and very friendly.
Awesome! Thank you!
