I've seen this video before, and have always enjoyed it. When I saw it posted here I decided to watch it again (because why not?) and did a double take about halfway through.
The scenes of the cowboy riding above the valley looked very familiar. So I pulled up some photos from a few weekend trips to Crested Butte in recents years and found this. Some of you then and now photographers please try not to judge
The screen shots from the YouTube video are pretty blurry, but you can make out the ridges in the background. The now shots are cell phone pictures taken behind the ski area at Mt Crested Butte while on a mountain biking trail. The side of the valley that I was on is quickly filling up with high priced get away homes, but the rest of the valley is pretty well untouched. I took these pictures because I thought it was pretty, I didn't make the connection with the video until just now. Pretty cool
