    Being a Wyoming native, I am in love with the type of hiking we have in the Wind River Mountains. I spent 5 years ski bumming in Colorado back in the 80s. I found that there are still amazing places in Colorado to get away from the crowds and see some of the most beautiful mountains anywhere. Thank you again Cathy. Love your videos.

    I first visited the US as a foreign student in the early 80's. A highlight of that trip was hitching a ride over independence pass with a genuine mountain man in greasy coveralls, multiple layers of frayed plaid and a worn out feed supply cap. His 1940's Willys Jeep, complete with home made plywood hard top, got slower and slower as the grade increased, the line of cars and RVs behind us getting longer and longer. Eventually the old timer had me stop traffic whilst he swung the Jeep around and we slowly ground our way to the summit in the lowest available gear, reverse. Best day ever. A picture of that guy and "the old goat" that was his Jeep continue to take pride of place on my home office wall.

    Good Sunday morning to you Catherine. My first reaction to spectacular scenery ,was WOW! I would love to see "The Bells" in person some day. I also couldn't help but think how different it will look in another month or so, when the Aspens change colors. You might have to revisit this magnificent place! I think the same can be said of Independence Pass. We live in such a beautiful country and God has blessed us with these wonders of nature. Thanks for taking us all along for the ride! As always, love you and be safe! 💖🙏

    Some places are just more beautiful than others in their own way (Maroon Bells). There are so many special places that when someone asks what's your favorite you get brain lock and the only answer is yes. I went through independence pass for the first time in decades last summer. It was a lot like I remembered, but Aspen had grown all the way out to it. I loved this video. I want to say you have no idea how nice it is to see these each week from your home office in the city, but you know exactly how nice that is. So you know how much you are appreciated by kindred spirits.

    Wow. You got lucky with traffic on the pass. We got stuck in a standoff in the one lane section. We eventually sorted it out. We’ll put that maroon bells hike on our to do list. Thanks.

    I first hiked that area in the mid-70s. I drove out from Alabama with two friends. We hiked over Buckskin Pass to Snowmass Lake. The next morning we woke up at Snowmass Lake to about six inches of snow. Hiked down Snowmass Creek to come out. A few years a later, my brother and I started the same way, but from Snowmass Lake we went across Trailrider Pass to Marble. Terrific scenery either way.

    Cat, I lived in Aspen during the winter of 1977 and 1978 and skied 30 miles everyday mostly on Aspen Highlands Mountain. Back then the highest lift ended at the beginning of the Run called Steeplechase. From there I could see the Maroon Bells, but could not get there from the resort. Thank you for making it possible for me to finally see them up close and personal from your video!

    This brings back so many memories of my youth, and spending summers in and around Estes Park, Rocky Mountain NP and the little town of Glen Haven! Drove Independence Pass 3 times (the last one at night - later I found out it wasn't recommended: ignorance is bliss?))! The night sky was amazing, BTW!!!! I rate this drive a close second to Going-to-the Sun Road in Glacier NP! Thank you so much for this, and reminding me of earlier times!!!
