    Great video! My gram and gramps used to bring me and my brother to The Farm back in the 80s. That was really cool to see again. And been up to cave point with my dog recently.

    These beaches are quite disappointing comparing them to Jamaica , Cuba , Aruba , etc. I guess when I go in November I'll stick with other types of activities. I am sure the food, partying scene and culture will be top notch.

    The beaches on the north and west side are the part of Atlantic Ocean. There are caribbean style beaches in PR compared to what you said, you just need to go to other areas. Culibra, Vieques, Cabo Rojo are some good areas. The beaches in this video are top notch when it comes to natural scenic beauty and if you are into surfing.

    Visitor hint: The town of Telluride is limited on parking. Yesterday there are meters, but parking at Mountain Village is free during the day at the public garage at the uppermost end of the Gondola, Market Center. The garage is right next to the Gondola station. Take the short 5-minute Gondola the the center of Mountain Village and then the longer 10-minute run up over San Sophia down into “downtown” Telluride. See everything you need to see, just in reverse order but take advantage of the free parking garage in MV.

    Thanks for your video! You had some great footage of both places and it took me back down memory lane. We have stayed in Ouray and Telluride/Mountain Village a few times. Both are great but Telluride/Mountain Village will always be our favorite Colorado destination in the early Fall. You just can't be it. You basically get two towns for the price of one but with different aesthetics, feels, and offerings all in one location. The gondola system is amazing. Easy to hop on and off and the views from it are spectacular. Especially as the sun is setting. Telluride is a foodie destination and has an eclectic mix of restaurants. You have access to hiking trails right from town in both places which makes it easy just to walk to a trail head. We also love the rivertrail as it offers more beautiful views of nature in Telluride. Then you have Bridal Veil Falls and its well worth it to take a Jeep up to it or our favorite is to hike Bridal Veil Falls Trail so we get to see three different waterfalls on the way. We have taken the jeep on Last Dollar Road and Ophir Pass and those were great. We have para-glided from Mountain Village down to Telluride and that gives you the most amazing experience and views. One of our favorite things to do is to just walk through the town of Telluride and look at all the pretty houses with their beautiful landscaping. Yeah, Telluride/Mountain Village is top of our list. It has so much to offer even beyond what I mentioned. Everyone there is so active and the place just feels alive. If anyone is considering going, just do it! You won't regret it!

  • @crystalryanparadise
    @crystalryanparadise3 ай бұрын

    Thanks! For the Bear Lake parking lot where a lot of hikes start from, earlier the better. We were lucky and found 1 spot left around 11am. There are always people leaving, but I would not suggest going at that time. I would say go before 8am. You also need an entry pass. I would suggest logging in right when they go on sale for the next day and buy it immediately. That what we did.
