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.

    Gateway doesn’t really count…it was fabricated to be a high end destination. The real town was just a wide spot in the road.

  9. Emily Banson on December 30, 2021 at 5:52 am

  10. motard126 on December 30, 2021 at 5:52 am

    The “Best” 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!

  11. Glen Cole on December 30, 2021 at 5:53 am

    Colorado is not a great place to live. NOPE.

  14. Scotty Collins on December 30, 2021 at 5:57 am

    Dude? Creed is where Frank James killed Bob Ford! The bar is still there!

    My beautiful state! I am from the

  16. Lonnie Christopher on December 30, 2021 at 5:59 am

  17. famoustvstarr on December 30, 2021 at 6:00 am

    We’re you in hurry editing this video?
    By the time you mentioned the worlds largest fork, it was gone. Didn’t even see it. This was shown in a college movie course on what not to do while editing a film.

  18. Sweetcoins Andthings on December 30, 2021 at 6:00 am

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

  19. Eileen Stack on December 30, 2021 at 6:01 am

    Wow I want to see 🙋‍♀️🇮🇪👍❤️

  20. Todd armour on December 30, 2021 at 6:01 am

    I’m sure the locals love this video…

  21. some guy on December 30, 2021 at 6:02 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.)

  22. Jim Cherry on December 30, 2021 at 6:02 am

    Colorado is a police state. Keep out of this overcrowded shithole.

  23. Colb J Allen on December 30, 2021 at 6:03 am

    Not so hidden now

  24. Grampa Badger on December 30, 2021 at 6:03 am

    Good, you left out Westcliffe.

  25. TOAST on December 30, 2021 at 6:04 am

    What about Colorado City?

  26. John Hagy on December 30, 2021 at 6:04 am

    Great video – music is too loud – very distracting!

  27. eddy gonzalez on December 30, 2021 at 6:07 am

    Bro why don’t people add Durango y’all had trippin

  28. Rudi Matt on December 30, 2021 at 6:12 am

    There are no ‘hidden towns’ in Colorado left. Every single town is overrun with eastern transplants, southern Californians , and Texasns! Colorado culture has been supplanted by their greed cultures, native Coloradoans are leaving in droves, this is not right. 😩

  29. wellifthemediasaysit on December 30, 2021 at 6:14 am

    If its hidden, how come i can see it?

  30. 1oldkiter on December 30, 2021 at 6:15 am

    Oh yeah one more thing,if you are from Calif just keep driving.

  31. Asian Facility on December 30, 2021 at 6:16 am

    Behind abandoned wooden house Buddhist flags named Khii Morin, Flying Horse 🐎. Symbols of souls. Buddhist people live there?

  32. Aunt Itchy Reads Tells you a story on December 30, 2021 at 6:17 am

    Very boring. I’ll be better off watching a video about cardboard boxes. I was not even engaged.

  33. Joj Jojo on December 30, 2021 at 6:17 am

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

  34. Barbara McSpadden on December 30, 2021 at 6:18 am

    Snowplow driver- my son. Alma 🤗

    Life is Strange fans wya

  36. Raven Skye on December 30, 2021 at 6:21 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.

  37. Jules on December 30, 2021 at 6:22 am

    In BV every summer!!! It’s my 2nd home!!!

  38. Jeanette Cameron on December 30, 2021 at 6:23 am

    Being a native I am very lucky to have been able to live and play in Aspen, T-ride, Steamboat, Durango, Silverton decades ago before outlanders took over.

  39. Ben Buescher on December 30, 2021 at 6:25 am

    Thanks for putting this video together. I am born and raised in Grand Junction Colorado. You got some good spots on the list.

    I also recommend Orvis hot springs outside of Ouray, if you’re into Clothing optional places. You can add strawberry Hot Springs outside of steamboat as well.

    And finally if you’re on the front range Evergreen and Morrison are two very cool little towns just outside of Denver.

  40. Toca Livi on December 30, 2021 at 6:25 am

    The best hidden town in Colorado is a great town. I guess it’s so hidden that not even this video knows it? Or maybe they don’t think its one of the best (but it is). I’m not going to say the name, but its in the san juan mountains, and it is wonderful. I think if people know this town, I probably know them. If you know which town I’m talking about, yay!

  41. 1049berkeley on December 30, 2021 at 6:28 am

    Buena Vista ? Maybe the mountains around it, but what a dump.

  42. Jim Moses on December 30, 2021 at 6:30 am

    Silverton?

  43. Michael Myers on December 30, 2021 at 6:33 am

    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

  44. Roo on December 30, 2021 at 6:33 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.

  45. Sprite Sam on December 30, 2021 at 6:33 am

    Cripple Creek! Manitou Springs, Pagosa Springs, Pueblo.
