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.
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.
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!
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
I think that must be the saying everywhere, because I have heard it in all parts of the country. If you don't like the weather wait 5 minutes! Lol I am new to the channel and have heard you say it on multiple occasions! Love the trip videos! Amazing sun set!
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.
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.
As a Coloradan, its easy to find his location if you are geographically skilled enough to look for certain things… i found this spot simply from looking at the mountain ranges behind him… i know the ranges and i venture them often and i commend this! The last thing i want to see is trash in our favorite spots… which i see in almost EVERY commonly found camp/recreation areas that allow you to stay over night. The youth is to blame. They will find a spot, tell their friends and then its just a dump spot for teenagers/college kids or some rural workers who bum off the land.
@@Wooooptywoop would you be able to share? id love to check this out in my overlanding setup i am also a native here but i cant seem to find remote spots like this one
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
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.
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?
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.
@@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.
@@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.
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.
Exactly, just because there is a couple fire rings doesn’t mean it’s a designated camping spot. Who ever created those fire rings before you went off trail. Sorry, but looking at the meadow you had to drive on it clearly wasn’t a place anyone should have been in the first place.
@@IndependenceOverland I’ve gone the other way, used to have every OnX app but now just use TrailsOffroad and GAIA. Actually COTREX is my favorite for CO
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 It really is and I find it quite enjoyable honestly. I've found quite a few spots from UA-camrs. 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.
It's coming, as new techs are coming online w/ harness free energy &as well endless water from the atmosphere, to supply water for nomadic life. It will also be affordable for all, not some inflated price. WE are being liberated to a world of abundance & more freedom/joy w/ higher purpose for Mother's Garden, to be her keepers/creators. Safe travels always.

You did find the most epic campsite! Oh my wow! That one is my new fav! Very nice Tyler.
Thanks Scot! Sorry for my late response, I’ve had my nose to the screen trying to get last years videos done.
Wonderful story telling, beautiful photography and a lovely campmate too, thank you.
Thanks for tuning in!
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!
Thanks for watching man! The season is almost here!!
Thank you for sharing! I hadn't been up there since i was in my teens. Went last summer, not a soul around!
This was one of the nicest campsites I have seen so far . I’m loving the drone footage puts it over the top .
Thank you I appreciate it!
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
Thanks man I appreciate it! I am SO looking forward to this new truck!

what is this trail called?
i live in colorado and i love that i keep finding new places. i cant wait to find this place to check it out
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.
Thanks man! 🙏
isnt the nite sky a WONDER !!!!!!??????😊
Heavily traveled area, surprised you were there alone. Love OnX for the aspect maps during winter but sometimes wish the sharing wasn't there.
Best solo camping video I’ve seen.
Thank you my friend!
Nice! Hard to beat 360° high mountain views!
So good!
@29:30 lol! Thanks for sharing. Beautiful journey! inspiring stuff.
Thanks for checking it out!
Hunting for the perfect camp spot is so much fun.
It’s the best! How is your adventure going man?
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.
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.
Yes! We all need to get outside more! I appreciate you watching! The new truck is going to be incredible! (I hope anyways!)
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.
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.
Had lunch at this very campsite late last summer. Absolutely gorgeous, and you did it justice.
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.
@@Arill0Its not as isolated as you may think. Popular place in summer and fall.
Thanks for watching bud!
What's the name of the trail system leading up the mountain?
Ditto,would love to venture here. CO native and you found an epic spot. I'll keep the secert to myself for sure.
Fantastic video! Loved that trail and the camping spot even more.
Thanks man!
Definitely an amazing campsite! Such a good chill video
Thanks buddy!
wow that spot was incredible. Glad you found it and got to share it with us.
Thanks bud! Since posting, I’ve learned it’s pretty rare to have this are to yourself. I guess I got lucky!
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.
I eye roll at the gate keeping. But also basically being your neighbor I understand it completely lol
As a Coloradan, its easy to find his location if you are geographically skilled enough to look for certain things… i found this spot simply from looking at the mountain ranges behind him… i know the ranges and i venture them often and i commend this!
The last thing i want to see is trash in our favorite spots… which i see in almost EVERY commonly found camp/recreation areas that allow you to stay over night.
The youth is to blame. They will find a spot, tell their friends and then its just a dump spot for teenagers/college kids or some rural workers who bum off the land.
@@Wooooptywoop would you be able to share? id love to check this out in my overlanding setup i am also a native here but i cant seem to find remote spots like this one
@@primal-lust3084explore! I’m not even a native and can find high range areas…if you have a high clearance 4x4 the “state” is your oyster
That spot is unreal! 🤯🤯🤯🤯
It was next level!
awesome ride man
that looked like a perfect trip
Pretty sure I took that same route a few years ago. Was there a short side trail to the left not far from the campsite leading up to a peak?
Just a foot trail is what I saw.
Truly glorious 🎉I hope my FJ adventures glean such beauty and powerful surrounds!
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
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!
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
You will get to hundreds of thousands of views if you keep getting this high-quality footage.
Thank you!
I'm manifesting that I will find this spot this summer.
When there’s a will, there’s a way!
What a view!! I love this area!!
My next adventure is in this area I hope and I hope it's the same area I've been looking at.
time stamp 10 to 10:30 one of the best view/drone footage ive ever watched overloading related. I would describe it as "Just goose bumps", moment.
That was definitely worth a subscribe! Awesome video!
Thanks man!
Ooh, I see Camp Hale and Mt. of the Holy Cross there!
What's the campsites name?
Hi. Great vid. What brand is your camper tent topper with the enormous wrap around shade?
Wonderful video as always.
You are living the friend! Thank you for all the very cool content!
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.
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!
@@IndependenceOverland will do! So stoked for this adventure and eager to see more of yours!
Man, what a spot!!
Great trail, great views! What's the name of this trail, I want to go here! Thank you for the video.
Wow! I’d love to find that spot
Man hoping i can find some trails like this to take my family this spring/summer. Awesome video as always
Thanks man!
Another great video! Blu is such a good dog❤. Thank you!
She is such a sweetheart
Sleepy dog was the best.
Sleepy dog is always the best
Very cool video. I want to check this spot out now
Epic is right.
I rarely comment on overlanding videos but I have to say this one is exceptional. I like what you’re doing here.
I really appreciate that Lee, thank you!
I know you dont share locations, but could you maybe share the reagon, northern southern northeast southeast, etc. im so curious
🤐
Where is this southern Colorado? Looks like its around telluride
i really enjoy your travel videos , i have to ask how many miles has you fj done now?
248,000 miles! 😀
I need to get my FJ out west eventually.
Nice! The kind of spots you search for.
One of the best for sure!
I think I found the most epic overlanding video on UA-cam
Thanks man! That’s a big statement!
What chair do you have? I have some helinox ones currently
These things are awesome! amzn.to/3GqFcN3
I really like the foot print of your awning, what brand/model is it?
Alucab all the way!
Just find sucu perfect video😇subscribed!!
such hahahha
Thank you! 🙏
Is that the Yellowstone soundtrack piano version at around the 15min mark?
Not sure, unless that show uses the same royalty free music service I do.
You gotta take me here!
Not bad, eh? 😉

I dont share locations so they dont get ruined
Amazing video!!! Truly gorgeous. I’m gonna be that guy though… definitely shouldn’t go off trail. Sorry! don’t downvote me!
Good on you for calling it out, but in this case it’s a designated place to camp with not one, but 2 fire rings. Thanks for watching! 🙏
Exactly, just because there is a couple fire rings doesn’t mean it’s a designated camping spot. Who ever created those fire rings before you went off trail. Sorry, but looking at the meadow you had to drive on it clearly wasn’t a place anyone should have been in the first place.

I like the local CO content. Great cinematography!
More coming up!
given the price hike and the clunkiness of GAIA lately...I may consider OnX
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.
I used to use a lot of layers but now just use Gaia overland
@@IndependenceOverland I’ve gone the other way, used to have every OnX app but now just use TrailsOffroad and GAIA. Actually COTREX is my favorite for CO
Coordinates?
I don't share coordinates, sorry.
That's selfish and you should warn us.
Very refreshing video. ❤❤.

its northeast of Camp Hale - east of Mount of the Holy Cross near the town of Redcliff, Colorado.
