Lol Traveling Princess' face at the beginning: "Daaad let's get a move on!"

[@YellowProductions]

Hah

[@Pixics]

Oso Creek is another good hike with kids, and it's very easy.

[@mreppen1]

Been to all trails, wonderful!

Beautiful baby 👶

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Gazer!

[@qelapafu]

These are great. If I can offer some more. Carbon Canyon- Redwoods in the OC? Who knew? Whiting Ranch- Shady oaks but watch out for big cats. Bommer Canyon- great for wildflowers in the spring.

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks for the additions Pom!

[@jrecm4816]

A big big thanks from a native Southern Californian...probably head up to San Clemente trail you mentioned this summer and the others later in the year. Each summer busy hiking around North San Diego County

[@YellowProductions]

Nice!

[@BD-ou7gh]

Thank you for your great video. I got to know some cool hikes thru your video. If you can add address to the screen while you mentioned trails that would be great for beginners & who wants to go by themselves. Thanks again for amazing video. Keep them coming. 👏

[@jameshiga8077]

Hi Chris. Thank you for the video. I would hike all of those trails if I'm in the area.

[@scottman895]

Those hikes look really nice! I had no idea that there were redwoods in Orange County either which is cool. I can definitely see me checking out the Carbon Canyon Redwoods as well as any of the parks with great views of the area including the Pacific.

[@YellowProductions]

Indeed. An ocean view makes any hike better!

[@NickandRachel]

Awesome!

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks :)

[@NickandRachel]

@@YellowProductions no problem 😊

[@awesomeadamfrom2099]

[@Diana-lo6cx]

I have done the Badlands Trail Hike! It was so beautiful!!

[@YellowProductions]

Nice Diana!

[@gilbertocarmona6295]

Great video! My daughters love hiking trails, but I'm not sure December is a good moth to try one... Maybe a stop at Vista del Sol once we will drive to San Diego.

[@YellowProductions]

December is actually a perfect month to do these hikes! It's never really that cold here

[@NostalgiaMan]

Looking at rental cars all over and prices are high as the sky. I need a walk lol

[@YellowProductions]

Definitely the cheapest mode of transport! :)

[@hotpanini09]

Hi Chris which hiking backpack/ carrier do you have here or do you suggest? I have a 1 year old and will be traveling to Mexico where we will be doing some hiking and I am looking for a carrier like yours. Thanks!

[@YellowProductions]

This backpack carrier is the Osprey Poco Plus -- Here's my review video on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/foS2iKqjeMR2apY

[@jackcw3659]

idea: best stores/places in orange/LA county that avoid inflation (low prices throughout pandemic)

[@dylanrosem]

Hello! I’m the first one here!!

[@YellowProductions]

Hi #1 Dylan! :)

[@YellowProductions]

Cool! Where in California are you headed?

[@karamathilde]

Could you add a link for the baby carrier you’re using?

[@YellowProductions]

Even better. I did a video review on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/foS2iKqjeMR2apY
