Colorado Experience: Mountain Biking

Colorado and the west are where American mountain biking began. From the Denver Athletic Club's Pikes Peak summit on bicycles in 1891, to Buffalo Soldiers riding to Yellowstone in 1897, mountain biking has long had a place in Colorado. Its modern debut came in 1978 when mountain biking pioneers from Marin County California visited Crested Butte's 2nd Klunker Tour. since then, Crested Butte has led the state in creating single track and inspiring other towns to cater to this now Olympic sport.

ABOUT US

Welcome to Grand Adventure, a YouTube channel that focuses on RV-centric outdoor activities including not only of course camping, but also mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, skiing and more, nearly always filmed in stunning 4K.

We're based in Salt Lake City, Utah, and invite you to come along as we travel all around the western U.S. My wife Patricia and I, and our dogs Zoe and Maggie are avid boondockers, so you'll seldom find us in RV parks or even dry campgrounds. Instead, we're usually camped in some of the most remote and beautiful spots that you could ever pull a travel trailer into. And unlike most other RV channels on YouTube, we're not RV dealers or full-timers -- we're weekend warriors just like you!

We'll provide tips and insight on equipping and maintaining your RV, trip planning and travel videos to make your next adventure a grand one indeed! So, subscribe to make sure that you catch every episode, and remember...life is nothing but a Grand Adventure!

Flat Stanley's Visit to Salida CO in the Rocky Mountains! He hikes, bikes & learns about animals.

These are photos of Flat Stanley's vacation in Salida, Colorado. He arrived from Indiana to visit Salida in the Rocky Mountains. Salida is surrounded by high 13,000' and 14,000' peaks that have lots of snow in the winter. The Arkansas River flows through town. It runs all the way to the Mississippi River in the state of Arkansas. I had a good time hiking & biking with Pam. We wanted Anna & Claire to see this place too.
