I absolutely love your videos... just found you out today because I'm taking a trip later this year... Appreciate all of your work! Thanks again, brother!
Jay Man do you have that right. Too many times we got cut up ( sometimes very deeply and seriously) from Broken glass bottles tossed in by irresponsible ignoramuses who cared nothing about others. Bad thinking , BAD BEHAVIOUR!!!
Awsome videos, I've been here in Colorado since September of 2017 . I moved here from Texas . Such a beautiful state I love the outdoors and right now I haven't been able to do alot since I'm 7 months pregnant.
Hello from Texas! I traveld to many parts of Colorado, and loved every bit, you are correct, very Beautiful there. I wish one day to visit again! *Once the Baby is born ( Congrats by the way!) Share your passions with the little one! Y'all enjoy the Rock Mountain High! Ya'll Take Care Dori!*
Yes Alan it sure did. But I was a very young boy , tougher than nails , free as a bird , and the colorado river in early spring was colder than a bears rear in the klondike. We were usually in the cold water for about an hour , then it was time to get out and warm up. Times were different then ( early sixties).
PSA: Cliff jumping at Green Mountain Resevoir is now illegal, so for any who plan to make a full day trip up there after seeing this, be warned you can still in theory jump of the cliffs but you will be subject to hefty fines if caught.
Thanks for the information! I will have to check out your "Best Caves" video for my husband. We love Colorado & will be RV that way soon so your video will come in handy.
Oh absolutely I'll subscribe it's a lot of work to get out there and capture the beauty of our awesome state and I really enjoy seeing other spots I haven't been to yet
I grew up in GJ in the 60s and 70s! Glade park/pot holes/ the little irrigation canal-we would tube all day in that little canal/. I could keep going. My whole point is "the valley" has much more outdoor activity to enjoy. Loved this video. Thank you
Yeah but they are arse holes in Colorado springs. Look how they treat the homeless population there. They spend $1500 on one sign to say not to give to homeless.....they have over 1000 signs up. You do the math.
Ryks Video of 6th Ave and hgwy 2 riright b4 tunnel 1 walk down for awhile it's on the left ...gotta swim across the river down stream to get to it huge rock to jump off...I dove in one time...scary shit...but still no bottom...toothpicks from high no bottom lots of fun for kids and adults...fresh as fuck
Great places here in Colorado... thank you for sharing.. some I've been to, others like the one on the Colorado river where you can stop and dive is now on my bucket list...keep up the great work...its been accelerating...!!!!
I used to swim in the hole just down from H.A.Smiths cabin. Excellent swimming. Also , my Grandfather ( and father) lived in Smiths cabin for a while. We used to go there every summer multiple times. We lived in GJ where we swam in eggers lake and in the colorado. Most of the time we either went to Manty heights and jumped off into the highline canal or went to the canal on G- road. Lots of fun. We were careful and no-one was injured except cuts on the feet from broken Beer bottles tossed there by irresponsible ignoramuses. The Pot holes can be dangerous , however your safety depends on how much beer youve consumed and the temperature and speed of the water. People die ther because they become stupid and or over zealous. Swimming in that area was Never a problem for us because we were taught when and where and how to swim in such waters. But then , I grew up around these kinds of swimming holes. As a side note , my Dad used to play with the Younger Brothers cousins , who lived farther up Escalante canyon.
Wonderful info in this video. I went to Paradise Cove for the first time and did my first jump! It’s such an adrenaline rush! Definitely going to check out more swimming holes/waterfalls/secret hikes
@@zachdavies5370 I made one kinda like that.. I think the most dangerous roads in Colorado. They are the most scenic in my opinion, plus a couple more.. if you look at my best places for fall colors, you will see some great drives in the fall.
hey my name is Steven and my wife's name is Cassidy we are looking forward to coming from Valdosta Georgia and visit family throughout Tennessee Colorado California and Texas then ending up in Florida then headed back home to Valdosta Georgia. we really appreciate your video educating us on where we can go with the family and seeing the beautiful sites that we won't make it to. thanks again great job!
We used to go down to Deckers and hit the Chutes. There was a rock formation called The Thumb. You had your choice of the tip of The Thumb, (high risk) or down on the finger or knuckle(safe platform). Then the current carries you to The Chutes. Two HUGE rocks on each side of the river 4 to 6 .feet from each other creating a tremendous amount of current. It would shoot you thru like a bullet down river. A kick ass time. I think they built a damn dam an flooded the whole valley. Twin Forks.
@@coloradonativeguide ; It's been a while . Let me ask you this; Are people still bunji jumping off of the Royal Gorge? A long time ago a group of us went there for the plunge. Turned out i was the only one that followed thru. Anyway , i heard that it is illegal now. Do you know of this?
Thanks so much for making this video I really like it have never been there but maybe 1 day & those r pretty swimming holes too .I live in TN. & we just have creeks where I live & most of those u can't go to nomore cause the wouldn't clean up after themselves so the land owners got tired of it & closed down most of the entering spots .
Pretty decent. There's also a pretty good Reservoir just above Steamboat Springs. Follow the road past strawberry springs turn off. Eventually you will get there. There is a rope swing that let you get a good 25 to 30 foot drop
Be warned, if it's not a hot springs, then it's a freezing cold spring. Getting chills just watching people in the water.
Shut up chad
Definitely appreciate you running around the state all the time to make these awesome and very helpful videos!
Thank you!
As a Colorado native I think your vids rock! Looking forward to seeing more.
I love this channel, before I was shy about posting but this channel has inspired me to post my own content and get out in nature more.❤️✝️
Paradise! Omg! Been soo many years and back then it was our secret! You had to know where it was. Still kooks the same. Good memories
Awesome! Thanks for these videos, it’s always great to see what’s to visit in Colorado.
Glad you enjoyed them.
This reminded me how little time I take to enjoy my beautiful state.
Thanks pal, I just moved here and these videos really helped!
Glad you like them.
This is the best video out of the 10 others I just watched about Colorado. Thank you for the video :)
Thanks for watching
These are awesome places to see and what views you have to show us! Thank you so very much!
Thanks. Anything else you would want see in Colorado? Something you would like list of?

I absolutely love your videos... just found you out today because I'm taking a trip later this year... Appreciate all of your work! Thanks again, brother!
Nice, glad you enjoyed the videos
Beautiful!
These are just a few swimming holes. What is you favorite swimming hole in Colorado?
Ryks Video the Indian tubs located in pinewood
Never heard of them. Looked them up though, they look fun!I I will have to check them out sometime.
Great camera work drone control !
Thank you
You poor, poor man. Having to travel back and forth across such a beautiful state! Jealous, From Missouri.
At least people have common driving sense in Missouri and don't drive like they are in the Indy 500.
@@antonjackson71 people still drive really stupid here
This channel is awesome! Thanks for making cool stuff!
Thank you for watching
Real nice video, thanks brother will be visiting soon!
Nice, have fun
Great video!
Thank you
Please do not bring glass bottles to any swimming holes, especially Radium Springs. Pack it in, Pack it out.
Yeah, when I was a kid i cut myself really bad on a glass bottle, when swimming in a river
Jay Man do you have that right.
Too many times we got cut up ( sometimes very deeply and seriously) from Broken glass bottles tossed in by irresponsible ignoramuses who cared nothing about others.
Bad thinking , BAD BEHAVIOUR!!!
It's a good spot to break bottles.
No doubt, respect what we are blessed with. Don't abuse it! Rule should be, you abuse it! You can not use it!
Radium springs n.m.
The potholes in the 70's. Popular spot for partying!!!
I don't know who on earth would give this video a thumbs down except to say there's one in every crowd. Great video!!!
Thanks

Thank you for the videos they were amazing I've always loved Colorado but after seeing your videos I love it even more.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Your content is amazing man. I will be supporting and buying merchandise. Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching and supporting!
Awesome , thanks for your time capturing these beautiful places.
Thanks for watching

We were usually in the cold water for about an hour , then it was time to get out and warm up.

It's nice to travel different places in the country, I learned some history. Thank you for sharing your video.
Gorgeous scenery! Thanks for filming it!
Thanks for watching
You do a great job on these videos! Thank you for putting these together!
Thanks for the vid man! Really helped get a good look at the spots. You 🪨 dude
Thanks for watching
Very helpful thank you, last summer my wife and I were really scratching our heads wondering where we could go for a swim.
Nice, yeah the water is a bit Cold, but fun places to jump in.
I’d really love to see Colorado…I’ve never been! But it looks gorgeous
Yeah, it is awesome
PSA: Cliff jumping at Green Mountain Resevoir is now illegal, so for any who plan to make a full day trip up there after seeing this, be warned you can still in theory jump of the cliffs but you will be subject to hefty fines if caught.
Robbie Manta yes, true. It is a temporary ban, hopefully lifted next year.
Still banned?
It is so silly to ban jumping, if you are an adult you should be able to make the decision to jump
@@coloradonativeguide what about now?
We grew up at Green mountain. Cliff jumping was a regular, but still very dangerous. We saw a lot of people get hurt.
Thanks for the information! I will have to check out your "Best Caves" video for my husband. We love Colorado & will be RV that way soon so your video will come in handy.
Thank you, I hope you enjoy Colorado!
Its worth working for this video bro thank you for letting me know what beautiful places there are in my state
No problem
Oh absolutely I'll subscribe it's a lot of work to get out there and capture the beauty of our awesome state and I really enjoy seeing other spots I haven't been to yet
Born and raised in Grand Junction. I used to go swimming @ the pot holes. It was a blast.
Nice, yeah definitely a fun place

I could keep going. My whole point is "the valley" has much more outdoor activity to enjoy.

What a beautiful place.. Thanks for sharing!!

Great swimming.
Good vid.
Thanks for the videos👍
Thanks for watching
I just moved to Lakewood Colorado and I watch your videos to find stuff to do thanks for the hard work
Definitely hitting punchbowl next time in aspen 🤙and paradise cove is a favorite summer spot in Colorado springs for sure
Yeah but they are arse holes in Colorado springs. Look how they treat the homeless population there. They spend $1500 on one sign to say not to give to homeless.....they have over 1000 signs up. You do the math.
thanks for sharing... Ill go check those out
Enjoy
Sending video to my daughters in Colorado.
Another good one is Blackrocks off the Colorado river very near the Utah border. Very large cliffs and easy to get back for repeated jumping!
Nice, been around there a few times.. never heard of them or seen them.
Wow 😍 Thank you!!!
Thanks for watching
@@coloradonativeguide yw 😊
Beautiful landscape
Yes they are
Thanks bro! Going to check out paradise cove for my birthday this weekend!

Never heard of frog rock.

Going to Colorado for my 21st! Cannot wait to see the beauty it holds!!
Awesome, yeah there is so much to see and do in Colorado!
The potholes/escalate canyon are a blast
Yes!
Fun and informative video! You're right, videos take a lot work. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us!

We were careful and no-one was injured except cuts on the feet from broken Beer bottles tossed there by irresponsible ignoramuses.
The Pot holes can be dangerous , however your safety depends on how much beer youve consumed and the temperature and speed of the water.
People die ther because they become stupid and or over zealous.
Swimming in that area was Never a problem for us because we were taught when and where and how to swim in such waters.
But then , I grew up around these kinds of swimming holes.
As a side note , my Dad used to play with the Younger Brothers cousins , who lived farther up Escalante canyon.
Nice! Yeah, I feel it is the responsibility of the person taking the risk, to decide if it is safe or not.
awesome thank you really helped when planning my trip to Colorado!
+sally powell sweet, I am glad. I hope you enjoy your trip to Colorado!

I've gone cliff diving at paradise cove, it's great there and so pretty
It is
Great video man
Thanks
Ryks Video of course! Just moved here and can’t wait to go explore. You ever thought about doing the most scenic roads in Colorado?

Thank you for this !!!! I just moved to Colorado so I’ll be busy exploring
Nice, have fun
Great, did you remmember to close the gate? People keep moving to Colorado, but they forget to CLOSE the DARN GATE!
Theres a punch bowl near crested butte up in the mountains on schofield pass.

That sounds awesome.. I do that in a stream that goes under I 70 near Frisco.. it shoots you through the culvert under the interstate.
@@coloradonativeguide Thats at Silver Plume and Frisco right?
I don't know about Silverplume, I just use the one at Frisco
@@coloradonativeguide ; It's been a while . Let me ask you this; Are people still bunji jumping off of the Royal Gorge? A long time ago a group of us went there for the plunge. Turned out i was the only one that followed thru. Anyway , i heard that it is illegal now. Do you know of this?
I am sure it is illegal, it is more of a park than anything, and you have to pay money to use thier ziplines and what not.
Me and my Family will definitely visit
Wow! Nice!!
Thanks
Awesome video
Thanks
Thanks this was a lot of help!
Beautiful places.. 🗻
Yes they are..

Yeah, a good amount of these are pools on the creeks.. and will stay open as long as people clean up after themselves and be somewhat responsible
