I have always enjoyed listening to your voice, Josh, but your dad is an awesome narrator also. Y’all are the best! Can’t wait for the full video. Thanks for all you do. Stay safe.
Can't decide my favorite part of this video; there's so much beauty and serenity! Pops did a great job on the parts he narrated! All the hiking keeps him young! He's an inspiration (I think we're about the same age) :)
I really do love it when you and Pop camaraderie back to back . . . you both are so fortunate to have one another. Thank you for the endless hours of entertainment that you make possible through your travels.
Your videos are always topnotch. This one is no exception. I love your style, your delivery, the info you impart, and your visuals. You and your Dad make an awesome pair. 👏🌞👏
I always enjoy your adventures, and the camaraderie between you and your dad. Thank you for sharing. The cinematic talents are excellent, and the editing skills are impressive. I enjoy the voiceovers - you and your dad have clear narration voices. If it is not exposing any trade secrets, in one of your videos, please share some of the technical information, such as your video and sound equipment, as well as the editing and titling software used.

Here is all the gear I use for my videos. ua-cam.com/video/HdsxZafBge8/v-deo.html - I use Final Cut Pro for editing and Epidemic Sound for the music. Hope that helps!
Fantastic video yet again! Living in NC, I have had the good fortune of visiting almost all of these places and I could not agree more! for those into movies, I also love the fact that many of these sites have been used in some very famous movies over the years, for example dirty dancing, last of the Mohicans (One of my all-time favorites!), Hunger games. Also worth mentioning are the amazing mountain towns or villages just off the parkway such as Hendersonville, Asheville, Brevard, Boone… so many more. thanks again for the awesome video.
It was fun to hear both you and your dad. It’s a nice mix for narration. I bought my RV two years ago from a lady in Asheville. I wanted to check out the parkway while I was there but unfortunately it was a the last Saturday in September so it was packed! Most pullouts were full and many of the centers were closed because of Covid. Can’t wait to go back and do it right. Thanks for the tips.
How fun! And your dad narrations too! I’d love to know where you got on and off? I planned a trip on the parkway last year and never realized that there were no bathrooms (at least for the portion I was on) and .. I didn’t see any of these except the lodge where I entered.
Ahhhh, you were in my stomping grounds - I live not too far from Peaks of Otter / I have hiked Sharp Top and Flat Top so many times. Never disappoints. Glad you highlighted many of my favorites from Humpback Rocks down to Peaks of Otter - the AT straddles the BRP south of Peaks of Otter and to me some of the best miles on the trail. Crabtree Falls is also great in the winter when if freezes over - We say some Ice Climbers on it one year near the top 🙂
Brown Mountain has some folklore attached to the overview. There are mysterious lights that are visible from the overlook and has been featured on Unsolved Mysteries and Paranormal shows on the Travel channel and History channel.
So cool to hear Pops on the narration! I bet he is a captivating professor. Super excited to see some of your mid Atlantic travels as that's closer to my neck of the woods (though I can't wait to make it out west and use your videos for inspiration while planning those trips as well). Thanks, Josh!
Oh absolutely John denver is a traveling icon partner music with me when I travel. And it's fun to see the blue ridge mountain, And shamendoah valley. Your dad knows what he's talking about.
Thanks for the video it is a great help. I'm planning on driving part of the Blue Ridge Parkway and would like to know where these stops are along the way. Is there someway to find out what milepost some of these places are at? Pops is terrific!! You guys make some great videos!
Well I made it until he said “fireflies”😂. I think he means lightning bugs. Clearly he’s not from around here. What a shame that people have to watch a video on how to pull over at an overlook 😂 So stupid
First I enjoy your channel just subscribed but have watched for a while, your videos are great. I m trying to say this gently. but it is hard to listen to your narration as you speak in one sentence descriptions. Your voice goes up at the end of each sentence. You need to do more than one sentence descriptions. You should try to vary your talks about places ( everything should not be summarized in one sentence) more description or conversation needed)
I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia and I love being able to see the absolute beautiful scenery. I live by the only tunnel in Virginia. He’s so right about all the amazing activities and the things to do along the Parkway. We have been to many of these beautiful area’s places.
Thank you so much for this great, informative video! I'm from Switzerland, and planning to go on a solo-trip from New York to Nashville by car. Would you recommend the trail for a solo-traveller? thanks again and keep up the good work!
Watching this a second time in life! I watched today July 4, 2024 and appreciate these virtual hikes tremendously! My age does not allow me to do these and I love the hike paths vegetation and shaded rocky paths
Everyone loves the Blue Ridge Mountains in the fall, but I prefer to be there around late April when the Rhododendrons are in bloom. The smell is fabulous.
Really appreciate you taking the time to make these videos packed with info. We’re from South FL and will be using then to visit next year in June. Would you say is better to wait till the fall? I best the tricolor scenery is spectacular. Keep up the excellent work!
Always enjoy your trips, they give me lots of inspiration. But super shocked about you only seeing fireflies for 3rd time in your life. Did not know they were not out west.
Something cool we use to do when I was in college was walk inside the Linville Viaduct bridge. It use to be accessible from either end of the bridge. The Bridge is not actually attached to the mountain, it is just floating on pads. There is space to crawl up inside the bridge.
OMG , what beautiful sites and view bet the smell was awesome clean and clear...I dying to go out for a long drive in the mountain , love your videos Thanks guys have a bless one
I was so pleased you featured Crabtree Falls. They're magical tucked away like they are. We hiked to them on a 96° day, took our shoes off, and soaked our feet in the cold water while taking in the falls. So peaceful and beautiful.
Correction on the Linn Cove Viaduct section, it is 1,243 feet not 12,043. Thanks for watching the video!
I have always enjoyed listening to your voice, Josh, but your dad is an awesome narrator also. Y’all are the best! Can’t wait for the full video. Thanks for all you do. Stay safe.
Maybe I haven’t noticed it before but wow having your dad narrate with you is such a great addition, keep it up big fans of you guys
No offense, Josh, but Pops makes for a wonderful narrator. You need to hire him.
haha I agree!
Can't decide my favorite part of this video; there's so much beauty and serenity! Pops did a great job on the parts he narrated! All the hiking keeps him young! He's an inspiration (I think we're about the same age) :)
Glad you enjoyed it! He is big into hiking now, even though it was not something he ever really did previously
Pops was brave as you drove through so many tunnels...reminded me of caves. 😉
I really do love it when you and Pop camaraderie back to back . . . you both are so fortunate to have one another. Thank you for the endless hours of entertainment that you make possible through your travels.
Our pleasure! More to come for sure
Pops sounds like a professional narrator, great addition. 🙂
Glad you liked his voice overs!
Dad’s voice sounds like TV documentary! Great job! Pls do more 😊
Thank you! Will do!
Loved it. Pops would be a really good voice over actor.
For sure!
This is perfection. Really into it. Thank you so much for making it! : )
Wow! Love the addition of dad on the commentary. Awesome video as always.
Glad you enjoyed!
I think Pops fan base is growing by the minute, or by the video! Go Pops! 😁🙌🏼
We love pops jumping in with the narrations! Love the videos, always look forward to seeing where you two go next.
Another great video! Mr. Lens should help out with the narration more often.
Your videos are always topnotch. This one is no exception. I love your style, your delivery, the info you impart, and your visuals. You and your Dad make an awesome pair.
👏🌞👏
Wow, thank you! Appreciate the kind words
I really liked you guys alternating the narration this time! Great informative and beautiful video as always.
Pops: If Josh is going to have you do part of the narration, you might start asking for a commission.😀
haha!
Love Pops doing some narration, he is great at it!
Pops would make an amazing narrator for some audiobooks.
Awesome video man. I really love you’re stuff and how you create your videos 😎🤘
Wow Dad's narrating! He has a voice that makes me want to get out my hammer and toolbox and build a house.😀 Good job!
Haven't seen that many fireflies since I was a kid. Can you pinpoint what time of year? "Third week in June" or whatever?
I always enjoy your adventures, and the camaraderie between you and your dad. Thank you for sharing.

Another beautiful drive to add to the wishlist, also Pops narration!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Glad to hear your Dad. You both are awesome! You inspire me to travel. Great video and presentation! More adventures to you both!
BIG Props to your Dad, did a great job narrating some of the recommendations!

Thanks for all the great advice, we just completed our own trip based on your superb video
We call them Lightning Bugs out here :)
How fun! And your dad narrations too! I’d love to know where you got on and off? I planned a trip on the parkway last year and never realized that there were no bathrooms (at least for the portion I was on) and .. I didn’t see any of these except the lodge where I entered.
You guys are the BEST when it comes to travel guide videos!
Wow, thank you!

Been wanting to do this drive! Thank you for the list!👌🏼
Love your travels also love the comments from your father on your your trip very nice great photos as always
Really enjoyed this highlight video especially since I hope to be driving the Parkway this autumn to enjoy the fall colors as well. Thanks!
Your dad narrating is an awesome addition. Great work!
Brown Mountain has some folklore attached to the overview. There are mysterious lights that are visible from the overlook and has been featured on Unsolved Mysteries and Paranormal shows on the Travel channel and History channel.
That Pops narration tho. (needs more Illini :) )
haha!
Thank you so much I loved hearing both you and your dad narrate what a wonderful trip ❤️
So cool to hear Pops on the narration! I bet he is a captivating professor. Super excited to see some of your mid Atlantic travels as that's closer to my neck of the woods (though I can't wait to make it out west and use your videos for inspiration while planning those trips as well). Thanks, Josh!
My Great Aunt Nancy took me and my grandma before she passes in 2021. I miss my Great Aunt
Pops is taking over .lol
Mount Mitchell.... Weird. I've never heard of it. Tallest mountain in the east? Washington, duh. Um... Oh. I guess not.
Wow! Pops narrating! I loved it!! He is a natural.
Oh absolutely John denver is a traveling icon partner music with me when I travel. And it's fun to see the blue ridge mountain, And shamendoah valley. Your dad knows what he's talking about.

thanks for sharing your recommendations. looking forward to the full video
Old dad is quite the narrator! Great video both of you.
Well I made it until he said “fireflies”😂. I think he means lightning bugs. Clearly he’s not from around here. What a shame that people have to watch a video on how to pull over at an overlook 😂
So stupid
Great video!! Makes us miss Matts home!! 🥰
I enjoyed your video. I live in Little Switzerland. I am now anxious to ride up the road and see more of the pkwy.
Thank you for sharing.

Go Pops!
I want to ride the parkway on my motorcycle this spring. I'm assuming it's paved the whole way
It would have be very helpful to give the mileage markers for your recommendations
Wow. I live right on the parkway, near Mayberry Mill and have still never seen most of what’s on this video
Hi! I will do this roadtrip in only 2 days! Do you believe that we could do half of you showed in this video?
Hi, very nice, really enjoy your videos. Can you please send me the address for google maps please ?
Happy to hear Pops narrate!!!
One of my favorites! I’ve been there and was very hungry! Nowhere to eat! lol.
Found this at the right time, helped so much, been down a little but plan on doing the entire trip this summer, I didn’t see your ebook !
Which Crabtree falls is that? There's one in North Carolina and there's one in Virginia
Welcome to our neck of the woods I’ve seen your videos from out west and wondering if you all would visit here have a safe trip
Yer making me homesick!!! P.S. Linn Cove Viaduct is 1243 feet in length, not twelve thousand...
Thanks for the fix, can't believe I misspoke that since I spent so much time exploring it haha
i saw your whole video on my LCD TV .because it has so much nice views .
your dad is such a much better narrator and commentator. just saying. lol
Hi, where you guys camping on the way for the 4 days?
Pops is such a great narrator!
I agree, he did really great!
Awesome video as always. What month did you go on this trip? Everything still looks VERY green.
Also can you walk over the Natural Bridge? lol
I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia and I love being able to see the absolute beautiful scenery. I live by the only tunnel in Virginia. He’s so right about all the amazing activities and the things to do along the Parkway. We have been to many of these beautiful area’s places.
That is awesome you live close! We loved the area and I can't wait to share our full road trip video!
Move in Richmond or Portsmouth, very populated and east acces of all your needs and not to drive as far in the winter.
Thank you so much for this great, informative video! I'm from Switzerland, and planning to go on a solo-trip from New York to Nashville by car. Would you recommend the trail for a solo-traveller? thanks again and keep up the good work!

I'm going to Asheville in Nov. We plan to visit Chimney Rock and take the elevator. 🤣
What city in North Carolina are these great things
Is this road trip safe for solo women travelers ?
Thanks for the great video! It was great to have you both in the video. Looking forward to the full video :-) Thanks again!!!
Chimney Rock also has an admission fee of 17.00 so I think I will pass.
The view is worth every penny.
This video is the best!! Thank you!
Always enjoy your trips, they give me lots of inspiration. But super shocked about you only seeing fireflies for 3rd time in your life. Did not know they were not out west.

in nc they are called lightening bugs 🙂

I love you and your Dad's style. ❤❤
I just got here but I agree let him narrate 😂
There you go dad!
Congrats on the new video! But, check out the Pacifica cam, awesome day.
Love seeing how much you enjoyed my backyard!
Thanks so very much!
Man I love it out there we try to go twice a year
Great video, cant wait to visit.
Another great video !
Great clips.
This a great video!
Love pop’s commentary. Great to hear your favourite spots.
Outstanding 👍🏞️
