Gear I use for backpacking and filming is mostly purchased from craigslist boulder and thrift stores. I shop in these areas for outdoor gear because the people in this area update their gear every year and have good money, so I try to find last years gear for cheap in areas like this.

    if you want to get technical, Alma is a town and Leadville is a city.

    Gateway doesnโ€™t really count…it was fabricated to be a high end destination. The real town was just a wide spot in the road.

  7. Christopher Park on May 9, 2021 at 8:51 am

    i know a few of the towns in this video, Leadville being one.

  8. Phil Navy Veteran on May 9, 2021 at 8:51 am

    To stop the trash..anyone caught..immediate prison for 30 days..tied to a chain gang cleaning roads and towns of trash. Bet they never return..

    I lived in Colorado from 1978 up to 2009 if explored many places there camped many places but yet I have not seen it all LOL, my stepdad family was original to the Hancock mining town which no longer exist except for a plaque and an outline of the old saloon and the Alpine tunnel, even though tourism and some other things have ruined a lot of places it’s still nonetheless a must do for any serious mountain person that loves to travel and camp awesome video great content

    I grew up in Northern California and now live in Texas. I miss the Sierra Nevada’s so I started visiting Colorado which is amazing. I have been back there every year for my vacation for the last 5 years and I am always in awe of the beauty every time I go. If you are able to live in some of these area’s mentioned you are truly fortunate. I read some of the comments below and well tourism is a double-edged sword for sure,..on the one hand many of these small communities get ALOT of thier revenue from people visiting their beautiful space However, .I get the animosity created out of living in a beautiful area and then suddenly you are either priced out or find yourself overwhelmed with tourists who don’t have the same care and respect for your space.

    The tiny paint socially frame because cause sequentially look absent a stiff siberian. possible, outrageous sandwich

  23. M's B on May 9, 2021 at 9:06 am

    Bruh the best one is the mountain town

  24. Rick J on May 9, 2021 at 9:06 am

    Since the locals call it Buna vista instead of Bwaina vista, why don’t they call Pueblo, Pewblo?

  25. Jay Sebring on May 9, 2021 at 9:09 am

    Those towns aren’t hidden or unknown.

    I’m from Colorado born and raised and one of my fave places is devil’s head just northwest of Colorado springs

    alma has nothing to do with south park what so ever. thatโ€™s fairplay CO

  31. motard126 on May 9, 2021 at 9:21 am

    The โ€œBestโ€ are not on this or any other list, and are known by true natives only, our lips are sealed. Welcome To Colorado, Now Go Home!

  32. curtis m on May 9, 2021 at 9:22 am

    That looks amazing you lucky sods !

  33. Jules on May 9, 2021 at 9:22 am

  34. Kimber Brown on May 9, 2021 at 9:24 am

    I cannot believe how rude some of these comments are! It was a great video! Thank you for sharing some of the hidden gems in our beautiful country.

  35. Camden Burke on May 9, 2021 at 9:24 am

    You had the opportunity to make the video 4:20 long and it never happened

  36. Gchiltz on May 9, 2021 at 9:25 am

    Heโ€™s right about Buena vista Iโ€™m born and raised but we have enough tourists as it is and we all hate them

  37. Robert Underwood on May 9, 2021 at 9:26 am

    Alma my favorite

  38. Matthew Eitzman on May 9, 2021 at 9:27 am

    I shit my pants

  39. Joj Jojo on May 9, 2021 at 9:30 am

    Stay out of Colorado, you weirdos have already ruined the state

  40. Kurt Johnson on May 9, 2021 at 9:32 am

    Nice!

  41. some guy on May 9, 2021 at 9:32 am

    I love that the best town in Colorado is on none of these lists. I call it Secret Town to keep tourists away. (I am from remote British Columbia mountains in Canada, but an old friend of mine lives there. I went for a visit in 2019. Incredible small town.)

    Funny… I thought Aspen had that title.

  44. Roo on May 9, 2021 at 9:35 am

    Wow. The negative comments are astonishing! Face it gang, Colorado is not a secret and it hasn’t been for decades. I can’t claim to be a native but I lived there for 35 years and raised a family there. Yeah, the tourists may sometimes be a nuisance but they’re paying the freight for an awful lot of you. I’m not begrudging the longing for the good old days but I also don’t much get your selfishness either. Why should you get to enjoy the beauty and wildness of the state but not others? If it’s so bothersome, move to Alaska. Thanks for the video Ryks.

    Great video – music is too loud – very distracting!

  47. Eileen Stack on May 9, 2021 at 9:37 am

    Wow I want to see ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‘โค๏ธ

    ……….Some places are just kinda’ hidden in Colorado…..!!

  49. darrenjoe watson on May 9, 2021 at 9:40 am

    Great videos

  50. Raven Skye on May 9, 2021 at 9:41 am

    I’m in Oklahoma but I want to move to Colorado. What’s the best town to live in? I don’t want a huge city.
