Paint Mines Interpretive Park, Colorado

Paint Mines Interpretive Park, Colorado

Abby’s Mom sent us a link to this place and since we were only an hour away we had to go check it out. This place was amazing! We really enjoyed it. If you’re into hiking and love natural formations this this is a spot you need to visit. Beautiful sandstone capped clay formations with lots of interesting colors. Located less than an hour east of Colorado Spring in El Paso County Colorado.

    In my opinion you guys put out some of the best travel videos on YouTube.
    Always interesting and informative and presented in a simple, not full of bull manure format (not like some others)
    I live in New Zealand and where we have some amazing scenery but the USA would give us a good run for our money.
    Keep up the good work and thanks.

    Bummer you are all over my neck of the world! You can always use my WiFi in the Springs!

    On vacation and up before sunrise!

    I’d suggest trying to do the Bachelor Loop Mining trail just outside of Creede, CO along with the mining museum and The Last Chance Mine (if open). Lot’s of good things to see there. Pagosa Springs is always a favorite. 3 Barrel Brewing in Del Norte, CO; The Colorado Farm Brewery in Alamosa; Riff Raff on the Rio Brewing in Pagosa.

    Safe travels!

  12. Russell Starr on May 4, 2023 at 5:56 am

    That was the most beautiful spot so far on your trip. I have never heard of this place before.

    With those "balancing rocks", it is actually unlikely that they just fell over. More than likely, the same type of people who climbed all over the formations, pushed the rocks over. :-/ As a truck driver, I pass through Colorado Springs often. Too bad I can’t get my truck down there. 🙂

  17. Rupert Hartop on May 4, 2023 at 6:03 am

    Amazing

    Welcome to a part of Colorado that most folks never think of visiting. Our friends run cattle just about 4 miles south of Paint Mines and I spend every fall hunting antelope in the area around there. Most folks only think of mountains when they think of Colorado. Congrats to Abby’s mom for sending you out east.

  19. Peter Norkawich on May 4, 2023 at 6:07 am

    Abby, I love your t-shirt! Great video guys.

  20. Michael Cooley on May 4, 2023 at 6:07 am

    Hey Adom and ms. Adom .welcome to colorful colorado. Just an idea, if your still down south not to far out the springs is a place j think Adom would really be interested in seeing. In rye colorado a place called "Bishops castle". It’s pretty incredible. I won’t give too much away, but it is a castle. A man pretty much by himself built with his own two hands. And if you go see it you won’t believe ,or understand. How this one man spent his life built this enormous. Castle. Maby. Check it out online. And see if your interested. I watch your channel all the time and I know it’s right up your alley. Anyway, just a thought. Enjoy our beautiful state. I hope your not getting smoked out from the fires too bad. Be safe,. Peace✌️

    Oh a lot of the top layers are volcanic ash from when yellowstone blew.

  23. Frank Auge on May 4, 2023 at 6:08 am

    An amazing unique place, thanks you for sharing it with us. I would love to see it in person.

  24. Randy on May 4, 2023 at 6:09 am

    Man not only did I not realize before that you had an adventures channel on top of your machining channel, but that you’re also located in Colorado and near me! It’s actually pretty awesome

  25. Brian Sutherland on May 4, 2023 at 6:09 am

  30. pirreli5 on May 4, 2023 at 6:18 am

    when we are young, life is downhill, easy, relaxed, but as we grow, returning up, hmmm bit like life:))

  31. Jeff Cowan on May 4, 2023 at 6:19 am

    Abby’s got some hilarious shirts, that’s for sure.

  32. Lloyd Spooner on May 4, 2023 at 6:19 am

    Lots of these little badlands in the high plains states. There’s one called "Hell’s Half Acre" just outside Casper Wyoming if you ever make it up that way. It’s where Starship Troopers was shot.

  33. Todd Yeomans on May 4, 2023 at 6:20 am

    Love your vids. Been following abom79 channel and just started following this channel great content. Abby’s laugh is so infectious 😂😂

  37. Shane Koch on May 4, 2023 at 6:25 am

    That jackrabbit was awesome, he runs like a deer or something, anything but a rabbit.

  38. Scott Brunner on May 4, 2023 at 6:27 am

    Adam – I wonder how OLD those trails are! Can you imagine the action that’s happened there the last 500 years!

  39. paul pipitone on May 4, 2023 at 6:28 am

    You guys are great keep it up

  40. Robert Kohut on May 4, 2023 at 6:32 am

  41. Michael Bo Christensen on May 4, 2023 at 6:33 am

    Nice video. Where was to best parkingplace to stop for the most colourful part ?

  42. Tony Nagy on May 4, 2023 at 6:33 am

    <— Looks like the HooDoos we have here. I wonder if there’s an underground link to the 2 areas. Maybe the Hoodoos are older?..Ya, always have the right gear to wear and lots of water!… Cheers.

  43. Michael on May 4, 2023 at 6:34 am

    Great hats! You should buy a ranch.

  44. Mark Harper on May 4, 2023 at 6:37 am

    Was that a jackalope?

  45. Omar H L on May 4, 2023 at 6:38 am

    thank you for showing the entire route

  46. Donald Mayes on May 4, 2023 at 6:40 am

    Lived in Pueblo. all of my life and did not know of this place

  47. Steve Hansen on May 4, 2023 at 6:41 am

    To paraphrase Casey Stengel "When you come to a fork in the path take it."

  48. shortfuse43 on May 4, 2023 at 6:41 am

    Beautiful, colorful formations. A lot flatter than Pike’s Peak, huh? Nice that you two were able to get out so early and have the place to yourselves…really rare in scenic sites.

  49. willem schuurmans on May 4, 2023 at 6:41 am

    # Les Cotta do you know it was the white people who first attacked the Comanches on their own territory?

  50. Gabe Whisen on May 4, 2023 at 6:41 am
