    I’ve watched so many YT videos on the Alpine loop that I’ve lost count. This is the best video I’ve seen. That drone footage was beyond epic. What an incredible trip - sad we couldn’t make it, but so glad we get to live vicariously through y’all with this video!

    I'm about 4 and half minutes in... Without a doubt, the cinematography is outstanding, and the people in the video telling the story are wonderful. You might consider some different approaches to the music you use to underscore the film. The dubstep, electronic driven sound isn't the right vibe. (I'd probably start with Gregory Alan Isakov's "San Luis" for inspiration, but that may just be me!). That said, the footage you captured is breathtaking. The time I've been able to spend in the San Juan's has resulted in some of my most cherished memories. And it's been far too long- 15 years since I've been in that high country. Hope I get back soon.

      Thank you so much for the kind words!! We really appreciate that. Our music choice has definitely evolved since last year. The San Juans are absolutely a special place! Heading back next month. Hope you can get back soon too!!

    I found your channel by searching for Dyersville videos after having gone there today. Your content and production is fantastic! We love exploring and, as I’m going through your videos, I’m getting so many great ideas for our next adventures. With onX Offroad open in another tab…I salute you!

    Wonderful. Thank you.
    I'll be out that way from the northeast late this month.
    I have to say, even though I have Trails Offroad, I've ignored it due to a glitch. But this video got me to square that away and now discover how useful this app will be. Love that you can take it right to Gaia.
    Thanks. This video benefited me for sure. ❤❤

    Love the narrative , not only what things are, but why they are! But I saw you guys bbqing those puppies! (With a perfect video like this, you got to make a scandalous conspiracy theory!)
    If every one knew what was on the otherside of that mountain and through the hills, then everybody would have a jeep. I guess you can't keep it a secret forever, but I think I gotta get out there before the trails are overrun!

      @@FarFromOrdinary I'm in the NY/NJ/PA area so we do have mountains and by looking at my channel I'm an ATV guy because there is no place here to off road your car, and if you do find a place it's pretty mediocre and uninteresting, and there's nothing to see. I just went to Hatfield McCoy trails in may and drove 150 miles on ATV. There's just a lot to see there even aside from the ride itsself. Cool rock formations, views, overlooks, just a lot.

    Um....it looks like no part of those trails were challenging (besides the steepness & shelf roads). Were there any moments where you had to do any rock crawling or in danger of tipping a vehicle over?

    • @FarFromOrdinary
      @FarFromOrdinary  4 місяці тому

      I'm not sure how to interpret this question. If you are asking if there is any rock crawling or dangerous sections in what we did in the San Juans, then the answer is no. The San Juans are a place to go to enjoy your surroundings - and maybe conquer a few steep shelf roads.

    So there are dispersed camping sites along the Alpine Loop? I know there are legit camp grounds here and there but rather just be on my own and away from all that.

      @FarFromOrdinary  2 місяці тому +1

      I hear you! There's no camping on the loop. In fact camping is pretty sparse around silverton and in that immediate vicinity. We had good luck up South Mineral (585), its only 15 minutes outside of town off 550
