  • Summer To Remember® 2022 is here, but not for long! Join the fun and let's make it a #SummerToRemember www.bonfire.com/store/s2r22/
    Here are the Microspikes we have: amzn.to/3EoIrCx

    ℹ️ About the Episode
    It's National Park Week. Yeah, we had this planned for months! Okay, so it's more of a coincidence-but a good one, because some of our most special travel memories were born in the National Parks ... including the "final countdown." (You'll have to watch the episode to figure that one out!)
    Perhaps National Park Week doesn't have the same notoriety as Shark Week, but it should! So far we've been to 27 of the 63 National Parks, and we plan to visit 10 more this year. Eight of those will be first-time visits for us. While we were preparing for this video, we decided to visit all 63. After all, Trish has the official National Park passport now! In this episode, we share our Top 10 National Parks by order of establishment, because they're all so incredible it's impossible to pick a favorite. Did you know that President Lincoln signed the Yosemite Land Grant on June 30, 1864, protecting the Yosemite Valley so future generations could enjoy its natural beauty? That's just one of 10 fun facts you'll learn in this episode. :) We also share some of the key attractions, hot spots, campgrounds, hikes, and scenic drives. This video might be our longest ever, but we cover a lot of ground (literally) and overlay our own footage from past visits. Please let us know if you enjoy these travel guide-style videos, as we have ideas for more similar videos to help you plan your travels and make lifelong memories!

      The Smokies were my neck of the woods for a long time. I had to move away nine months ago. I miss that area so much. And I remember you saying you really liked Asheville he will probably go back. Since you like to ride bikes Cades Cove also has a bicycle only day check it out. Five years ago I had horses so I’ve been all through there on horseback!

    The level of vision, forethought, and memory it takes to comb through hundreds of hours of footage is admiring.

    We Just wrapped a 2 week England and Scotland trip yesterday !!! As much as a i love North America for scenery. The United KIngdom just crushes us with their History. Saw both the Queens Jewels in London also saw the Queen of Scotland's Jewels, Tower of London, Natural history museum, Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Downing Street, Trafalgar Square, York Minster, Beverley Minster, Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, Edinburgh Castle, Hadrians Wall toured Roman settlements in York followed by Viking Settlements. Walked on the graves of Knights from 0ver a 1000 years ago. Traveled by train and Air and walked over 60 miles in 2 weeks. Time to relax for a few weeks, my feet are in tatters!!!!

    We retired last year (early) and have been RVing going on 2 years now and have completed about 5 of the 63 last summer, this summer we are doing 14 of them. Next summer we are doing Alaska. Just got back from Smoky Mountain National Park and had a blast. We love your videos and always have an eye out looking for KYD on the road. Thanks for your spectacular videos. Maybe we'll bump into each other someday. Also love that you are donating to Team Rubicon. We are both vets and have a few friends that volunteer for Team Rubicon.

    We loved this video so much. We have fallen in love with the National Parks. This year is my daughter’s 4th grade year and the National Parks Foundation issues free National Park passes to families with 4th graders. It might be a fun tip to share with your audience. We have decided that each of our children’s 4th grade years we will do a big NP trip and she has chosen Florida NPs this year. We can’t wait to follow along this season with y’all!!

      When you say 4th grade year, is that summer 3rd to 4th grade? Or 4th to 5th grade? My son is 3rd to 4th grade, but this summer is RVing to Florida for Disney. We usually do National parks. We live in Wyoming so for us that means Yellowstone and Grand Teton. Sometimes Rocky Mountain National Park. Next year we will be back to Yellowstone and then Glacier.

We live in Alaska…flying into Denver and then taking 10 days of driving to see 8 National Parks and Monuments! Highlights are Mt. Rushmore, Badlands, Devils Tower, Yellowstone and the Tetons. We are ALL so excited! Watch your videos over and over and over, so inspiring. Thank you, thank you!

    Really enjoy see you and the family. Watching them grow into wonderful adults. Hey such an awesome summer planned. My husband and I bicycled Cades Cove. Look for the special times to do that. No cars. Back in 2004 we traveled the states, Alaska too, made it to 21 state parks in 5 months. Before social media. I kept a journal and took over 3000 pictures. Thank you for a loving walk down memory lane 💝 God bless your family. See you on the trail.

    We are headed to Zion, Bryce Canyon, and the Grand Canyon in June. It will be our longest road trip since buying our first TT last year. All of the major stuff is all planned out and reservations have been made, now it is time to start really diving in and finding all of the offbeat and “spectacular” spots and hikes to visit while we are there. The “ask the locals” advise is great too.
    Can’t wait!
    Thanks again Trish and Marc!

    My personal favorite is Sequoia Nation Park, mostly due to my deep affinity with the Giant Sequoias, but also because the park has played such an influential roll in my life across a good part of my life. I was fortunate to work at the park the summer I was 19-20 (1974) and living under those magnificent trees 24/7 for 6 months totally changed the way I perceived plant life of all kinds, a deep revelation for me that has stayed with me to this day.

    Great lists! Capitol Reef is my favorite of the big 5, it's a more intimate experience. The Capitol Gorge and Tanks trail was really meaningful, realizing this hiking path, hacked out by pioneers in 1884, was the only way into the canyon for wagons and vehicles. Early travelers etched their names into the sandstone walls. Not an intra-park drive, but between Bryce and Capitol Reef, Scenic Byway 12 is INCREDIBLE. We were lucky enough to drive it in the fall as the aspens changed, oh, my.

Your advice is always bang on and I look forward to each and every episode. While I have travelled to several of the US national parks you mentioned in the past (and wholeheartedly agree with your assessments of each), there are others I hope to explore in the near future as a Canadian preparing for full-time RV life. I hope one day are paths will cross!

      Are you going to hit the Canadian National Parks? We did as many as we could in our epic 2016 cross-continent camping trip. Just don’t loose the tag! And sign it! Ours worked its way out of my Hubs rear jean pocket while we were looking through the Alexander Graham Bell exhibit on Cape Breton Island…it was found in the building thankfully.

    Yellowstone is the #1 by any metric... I spent 8 days hiking around the park, slowing down and doing it all is worth it. I could go on and on about all the amazing stuff to see, but in reality, no words can do it justice, spending a week doing every last corner (if you enjoy nature) is something people will never regret.

    A lovely video and some great advice. I love national parks and they've been designated for very good reasons. Such stunning features. Living in a small country (New Zealand) with 12 large, free and easily accessible national parks is great. Over the years I've been able to visit them time and time again hiking, skiing, kayaking, camping or being a tourist. On the occasions I've visited other countries with limited time and on a budget, these parks have been at the top of my 'must do' list. Even short visits are worth it.

We usually take sandwiches to Cades Cove, go in about 4pm, find a spot to park and then watch the deer and bears as well as other animals. You can do the 11 mile loop once and then go again to find your spot to park. One of our favorite places to visit.

    Yosemite absolutely blew my mind. I'm in Washington. I can't wait for you to see Hurricane Ridge. Also go see the Hoh Rainforest and Sol duc hot springs resort. After hiking, if needed order you burgers/food, then go take your shower and the food will be ready when you get done.
    Some amazing hiking at Sunrise, Rainier. Go down to Shadow Lake slightly southwest of the parking lot, then head up to the Fremont fire lookout. This will take all day. There and back. Absolutely phenomenal!!! One of my favorite things I gave done. And I've traveled the planet a fair bit.

    We've been to many National Parks and none of them have ever disappointed. What we've discovered lately are National Monuments and National Historic Sites as well, since some of them are near national parks or on the way to or from the NP. My favorite is Cedar Breaks National Monument. The drive is beautiful especially at sunset. Speaking of drives, the drive from Capitol Reef to Bryce Canyon is also really cool too.

    Mark and Trish, you guys have been a wealth of knowledge and an inspiration to slow down and make time for family. We’re going to be in Shenandoah later this week. Hope to see you there! Happy travels!

    Capital reef is my favorite, we drove through on the way to Moab/Arches and went back the next year and camped for a week in that area. Fascinating history and beautiful area.

    Well, that was fun and informative! We have been to five of the ones you mentioned and we are going to Olympic this summer. I recalled some of our special moments while I was watching. I hadn't thought about them in quite a while, so thanks for the memories! You cannot explain the feeling you get just seeing a moose in the wild. So many things are not planned, they just happen.

    Last summer, I spent 13 weeks on the road in my truck camper, 15k miles, 25 states, 17 National Parks and over a dozen state parks. Awesome!!!!

    Great "spectacular" video! One of my favorite National Parks is Black Canyon of the Gunnison. I have been there twice and loved it both times. I think part of what I loved was that it wasn't very busy and had some great views.

    We love our Parks Passport Book! Spent last week in Utah and got to go to Arches and Canyonlands. On the topic of finding a spot, we stayed at Moutainview RV Park in Monticello, about 45 minutes south of Moab. Great option if you're willing to drive the extra distance.
    I love Marc's note about pairings. Didn't make the list, but Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad are another pairing that can be done in one day.

    I shouldn’t have watched this before bed. Now I’m way too excited to sleep. We bought a small hybrid camper last fall and have been itching to get out and use it all winter. Your videos have really kept the dream alive during the deep freeze in MN. Thank you!

    Thanks so much for the video. I love the National Parks. Last year we did a cross country trip form Ca to Tenn, up to Ohio and across the northern states. We visited 14 National parks. We just got back from a Central Calif trip to three more, and this June we are traveling north to Olympia and Mt Rainer. I have visited others in my life time like in Hawaii. I have many more to visit. I will enjoy seeing where you go this summer.

    What a great refresher to our favorites! While you’re on your way to Shenandoah National Park, try to drive some or all of the Blue Ridge Parkway. 469 miles, no stoplights ! It’s an absolutely beautiful drive. Many gorgeous, well marked overlooks. Also, on your trip out to Washington State, try to see Leavenworth, Washington. Beautiful, mountain village

    • @StuckInaCamper

    “Spectacular" video! :) So much valuable info that will definitely help someone to plan and enjoy a great trip(s) to a National Park. The West is just jaw-dropping in its majestic beauty, but when you ended with Dry Tortugas, that really blew me away. That NP is #1 on my life bucket list - ocean, turquoise water and sand, take me away please! Thanks so much for sharing. Safe travels and stay well.

      A heads up, Going to the Sun Road is not open and my not be until June or July. They are also restricting the bikers/hikers a bit this year beacuse people got stuck between a couple of avalanches last year. There was an article in the Flathead Beacon today with updated info.

    Excited you are going to Shenandoah NP. My stomping grounds. I grew up in the Shenandoah valley in Roanoke VA. We keep saying we are going to go home and take our RV. Can't wait to see that video. Have a great summer and we hope to see you somewhere. PS, watching these videos brings back good memories of watching them when you first posted them. I felt I had been there. Deana

    Thanks for the video. We just got back from a trip through Utah and hit Zion, Bryce, Arches and Canyonlands. Totally agree they are amazing. Even better Zion and Bryce has some amazing bike paths! We were able to skip the shuttle system in Zion and ride our bikes to the trailheads. Love your videos!
