This Place Should Not Exist (We Camped Anyway)

Описание: The San Juan Mountains were born in fire.
Once among the most violent places on Earth, these peaks are the shattered remains of ancient supervolcanoes that quite literally exploded into existence.

In this film, John and I push deep into the San Juans—driving shelf roads carved into collapsing volcanic rock, navigating closures from recent rockslides, and camping in the heart of an ancient caldera. What was once completely uninhabitable is now a place of quiet, perspective, and reflection.

This trip isn’t just about overlanding or reaching a destination. It’s about witnessing millions of years of change, finding stillness in a landscape shaped by catastrophe, and understanding why places like this keep calling us back.

And this is only the beginning.
Part 2 continues with more high passes, wildlife encounters, and a night spent in a remote ghost town.

Thanks for being here.
