  • Richmond Hill is Aspen Colorado’s main off-road trail, yet most people skip it for Taylor Pass or Pearl Pass. We believe that’s a mistake… why not do all three like we did? Richmond hill allows you to drive on the famous Ski Mountain of Aspen Ski Resort which is home to the greatest skier ever, HotDog Hans. You can then camp on the backcountry ski area and it was amazing! We then went onto Taylor Pass which Drew cut into this video perfectly! So come join us on this incredibly scenic conclusion of our Marble CO to Aspen CO trip which has included Lead King Basin, Crystal Mill, Devil’s Punchbowl/Schofield Pass, Paradise Divide, Pearl Pass, and Richmond Hill.

    Here’s the whole trip from our start in Marble to our ending on Tincup Pass. In 2024, we’ll be filming these kind of trips, but instead will make it one longer video. We’ll still include maps, trail details, tough obstacles, beautiful scenery, as well as our thoughts on the trip. Thanks for watching… I truly think this year we’ll film our best stuff yet! ua-cam.com/play/PLKXEBTz8ZauGaUFx_ze2Oic7wkBvPhY6d.html&si=DNzphV9NX48Gokkd

      Hey Mike!! Yeah, I was getting burnt out with behind the scenes UA-cam stuff. I want to take this channel back to my simple goal of just making awesome videos. A little winter break helped me find my drive again… so excited for what we’ll film this year. We’re making multiday overland guides this year. I think they’ll be fun to film and do. We’ll still have shorter trail guides too as we catch up on our back catalog. Thanks for the support from the early days!

      The ones we’re filming this year are going to be long… basically they’re gonna be like taking the best parts of this series and making it one big overland guide. We’ll film at least one of those multi day trips a month. We will also release our shorter trail guides we’re catching up on from previous seasons.

    I haven't seen your videos in a while. I think it's the algorithm recommending me stuff related to my winter hobbies. Since I last saw one of your videos, it looks like the editing has really improved. I thought it was good before, but now it's great! Would love to join you on an overland trip this summer if availability allows

      Welcome back! Drew is an amazing editor. To get everyone on the same page, I’m organizing trips through the channel membership (I have made pre-trip videos to let people know what to expect if they come with us). Those I’ve wheeled with in the past will be on a Facebook chat where I’ll post trip dates since that’s how I use to set up rides (Facebook).

    Love the video! Great information.
    I’ve watched a ton of videos, and y’all seem to be the most level headed off-roaders I’ve seen so far in Colorado. Do you have a club or Facebook group that you allow people to tag along on your treks? We are having a hard time finding reliable people to go dispersed camping with on these trails that prioritize safety as well as a variety of off-road rigs.
    We have a 4th gen V8 4Runner but I only have a small lift with 33’s, so it’s nice to wheel with people that have regular vehicles that aren’t super overbuilt! Would love to tag along sometime if y’all would be willing to have us!

    • @coloradomallcrawlers
      @coloradomallcrawlers  Місяць тому

      Thank you! We’re just regular wheelers with jobs and do this whenever we can. I never had a good way to bring people out with us, but we’re trying to do it via the channel membership this year. I wish I could make a level free there, but it wouldn’t allow it. So the $0.99 level gets all trail planning details. It’s an experiment and I hate a paywall behind it, but the member page has allowed me to make videos that don’t affect the algorithm. May is going to a Moab overland trip, June is going to be a San Juan trip. My plan is do at least one trip per month.
